I visited this restaurant alone on a weekday, recommended by a gourmet acquaintance. The restaurant is located in a quiet residential area and has a calming atmosphere with a touch of exotic and retro vibes in its wooden interior. They offer a variety of appetizers, today's special, tandoori dishes, and several types of curry. I was unsure of what to order since I was dining alone. What I ordered: - Assorted appetizers (1500 yen): A selection of 6 appetizers, all delicious and perfectly balanced in terms of spices and ingredients. - Spring rolls: I originally wanted to try the tandoori chicken, but I opted for spring rolls to save room for curry later. The spring rolls were crispy and filled with shrimp, purple cabbage, okra, bell peppers, and other vegetables. - Blue cheese kulcha (half): This was the highlight of the meal! Incredibly delicious and I regret not ordering the full size. The blue cheese flavor was outstanding and paired well with alcohol. - Pork curry (half) with rice: I debated between chicken, lamb, and pork curry but ultimately went with pork. The curry had a rich and deep flavor with tender pork. It was delicious and went well with the rice. The total cost, including two glasses of wine, was 6000 yen. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Sapporo Minami 6 Nishi 22 "Michikusa Bazaar" is a hidden gem where you can enjoy spices and tandoori dishes with natural wine. The spices here focus more on fragrance and gentleness rather than being too spicy. We tried a variety of dishes a la carte, including the original spice sauce for "momo" (Nepalese dumplings) and the must-try tandoori "gizzard". The lamb with salted mint was also delicious. For dessert, we had a trio of spice curries - pork, chicken, and lamb - each with a mild sweetness and rich flavor that paired well with the wine. We enjoyed a bottle of "konkon kvevri 2020" from Kurisawa Wines and Kondo Vineyard in Iwamizawa, Hokkaido. The meal included a platter of pickles, stir-fried Chinese yam, shrimp spring rolls with curry salt, tandoori chicken (made with Sakurahime chicken), tandoori lamb, and Himalayan rock salt. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience.

A place like a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki film. The catchphrase that was born this time is "Mt. Fuji Momosen Center". Tonight was also amazing. A shop where new encounters can happen while lined up at the same counter. Everything is thanks to the skills of the owner. As always, it was wonderful.

About a 10-minute drive from the bustling district of Susukino, it was a bit difficult to find even after getting off the taxi and had to call for directions. We ordered a fruit beer and a 7-item appetizer set for 1500 yen. Ingredients like okra, enoki mushrooms, octopus, and scallops were transformed into completely new flavors with the use of spices. We also ordered lamb and chicken dishes, both of which had a rich aroma and were delicious. However, as a drinker, I felt that they could have used a bit more salt in the dishes. It would have been even better if there was salt on the side of the plate or on the table. The owner runs the place alone, so it's a place where you can relax and take your time. The only regret was that my companion was too full to try the curry.

I visited Dojou Bazaar Gourmet with my juniors from my student days, where you can enjoy wine and spicy dishes! I hadn't been there for a year, but I still love it for its atmosphere! The variety of wines is impressive, and each dish goes really well with the drinks and tastes delicious! If you want to enjoy Hokkaido wine, this is a must-visit restaurant! I was happy to see my juniors growing up! #Hokkaido #Sapporo #DojouBazaar #Wine #HokkaidoWine

I visited Michikusa Bazaar, a hidden gem restaurant that I have been curious about for a while. It's about a 15-minute walk from Maruyama Koen Station, located in a quiet residential area. The restaurant specializes in spice cuisine and natural wine pairings. The atmosphere is like visiting a friend's house, with a cozy and stylish interior. They have counter seats and table seats, making it suitable for solo diners, couples, or groups. When we arrived, the restaurant was bustling with a group of customers. We ordered a cold appetizer platter, tandoori dishes (gizzards, chicken, and cheese kulcha), and curry dishes (lamb keema and beef). The cold appetizers were fragrant and delicious, the tandoori gizzards were surprisingly tender, and the tandoori chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside. We ended our meal with two types of curry and cheese kulcha, which were all incredibly tasty. The dishes were full of flavor and the spices were evident even to an amateur like me. Despite the strong wind and cold weather outside, I left feeling warm and happy after enjoying the wonderful experience at Michikusa Bazaar. Highly recommended! Make sure to make a reservation before visiting.

[Sapporo City, Hokkaido] A spice cuisine and wine restaurant located in Minami Maruyama, Minami 6-jo Street. The restaurant has a high rating of 3.75 out of 5 from 26 reviews on Tabelog. To get there, take the Tozai Subway Line to Maruyama Koen Station, take exit 5, head east on Odori, turn right at the second traffic light (Sapporo Food Center corner), walk 700m and turn left on Minami 6-jo Street. After passing the next double intersection, there is a "gravelly private road-like path" on the right where the restaurant is located. It takes about 15 minutes on foot from Maruyama Koen Station. There is no parking available. The restaurant has irregular closing days, so it's recommended to check on social media. This restaurant was chosen by a companion living in Sapporo. The concept of the restaurant is to enjoy charcoal oven dishes cooked in a tandoor and dishes using whole spices, paired with natural wines. The interior features a rustic wooden design with a small counter, 2-seater tables, and 4-seater tables, all non-smoking. The male owner operates the restaurant alone. During peak hours from 6 to 7 pm, there may be a long wait, so it's best to visit with some extra time. Instead of set courses, you can order a la carte dishes. The menu for the day included the following items: [Appetizers] Assorted cold dishes of the day, stir-fried nagaimo and meti, spice dumplings [Tandoor] Chicken, gizzard, kulcha (cheese/blue cheese/keema) [Curry] Pork keema medium spicy, lamb keema medium spicy, beef medium spicy, lamb spicy Rice and naan are optional. The restaurant aims to serve "curries that can be enjoyed as snacks" and does not allow curry-only orders. The spiciness level is fixed, but there are no extremely spicy dishes to worry about. -------------------------------------------------- ■Wine ◎ "Quarticello" (Glass from ¥1000) An orange wine from Italy with a wonderful aroma that I really liked! ◎ "SULA" Shiraz (Glass from ¥1000) Indian wine may not be familiar, but there are continuous efforts to improve quality. This red wine is served chilled and surprisingly delicious with a pleasant astringency. -------------------------------------------------- ■Today's Assorted Appetizers (serves 2 for ¥2000) 8-10 spice dishes are arranged daily. ・Purple cabbage achar with coconut milk ・Komatsuna with cumin/mustard ・Enoki mushroom pickles ・Eggplant and shimeji mustard ・Octopus and rapeseed mustard All dishes are combined with spices like cumin used in curry. The vivid aroma of whole spices spreads in your mouth. ・Scallop coconut stew This is devilishly delicious! It has the richness of a stew, and you can eat as many as you want. -------------------------------------------------- ■Tandoori Gizzard (¥850) Surprisingly tender, unlike yakitori gizzard. It seems to be confit first and then baked in the tandoor oven. Well-seasoned, inviting to wine with the right amount of saltiness and umami! -------------------------------------------------- ■Tandoori Chicken (¥1100) A dish with a crispy skin and a hint of cilantro. Not as surprising as the gizzard, but still delicious. -------------------------------------------------- ■Cheese Kulcha - Blue Cheese (¥1250) An Indian bread with melty cheese inside. It has an authentic cheese aroma, not like processed cheese. It has a salty taste of blue cheese and pairs excellently with red wine. The size is not too big, so it's enough for one person. -------------------------------------------------- ■Lamb Keema Curry (¥1450) Besides minced lamb, there are plenty of chopped root vegetables! The presence of root vegetables like lotus root and carrots is overwhelming. Cilantro adds a nice touch. It's medium spicy, but the spiciness is hardly noticeable. It's okay even for those who don't like extremely spicy food.

After moving, I was a bit confused about the business format, but looking at SNS clarified things. On Sundays, you can go for à la carte from 3 pm, so we had a reunion at Bazaar for the first time in a while. Next time, I want to properly try the curry. The counter only offers set menus, priced at 11,000 and 6,600 yen. Usually open from 6 pm with last order at 8:30 pm, but on Sundays it's from 3 pm with last order at 8:30 pm.

Located in Minami Maruyama, Sapporo, Roadside Bazaar is one of the many renowned restaurants in the area! It may be hard to find at first, as it is inside a residential house. The combination of wine and spicy dishes here is absolutely delicious! If you love wine and spicy food, this is a must-visit restaurant for you! I want to interact with wine lovers at the bazaar! #Hokkaido #Sapporo #Chuo-ku #Minami Maruyama #Roadside Bazaar #Spicy cuisine #Wine

I was surprised to find this restaurant in a residential area, but once inside, I was impressed by the calm atmosphere. You can enjoy a variety of spices here. The curry is very delicious. I also recommend trying their homemade ginger ale. It's fun to enter the wine room and choose a wine. The timing of the dishes is a bit slow-paced.

I enjoyed a stylish atmosphere where I could enjoy spice dishes and drinks! I had a 4400 yen course meal where dishes were continuously placed on leaf plates, starting with Achar(?) and enjoying various dishes. I had a great time and would like to try a la carte or a slightly more expensive course next time!!! It was a wonderful spice-filled space!

Sapporo Minami 6 Nishi 22 "Michikusa Bazaar" is a hidden gem where you can enjoy spices and tandoori dishes with natural wine. The spices here are more about "fragrance and gentleness" than "heat", and you can easily enjoy them even as a second meal. On this day, we tried the Tandoori Chicken a la carte. The surface was crispy while the inside was juicy and tender, and the aroma of the spices increased our appetite. The gizzard and lamb were also delicious. The Coconut Chicken Curry was a mild and sweet curry with a rich flavor that paired well with the wine. The pickled vegetables and Gurucha were also tasty. Thank you for the delicious meal. The wine options by the glass were: - Kuma Cola 2021 / Yamadado (Hokkaido Yoichi) - Tomo Rouge 2019 / Domain Atsushi Suzuki (Hokkaido Yoichi) - Tanemaki 2019 / Sapporo Fujino Winery & KONDO Vineyard (Hokkaido Iwamizawa) Pickled vegetable assortment Tandoori gizzard Tandoori chicken cheese Gurucha Tandoori lamb Coconut chicken curry

It's like not going to Michikusa Bazaar in Sapporo is the same as not going to Sapporo Ramen in Sapporo. You can enjoy natural wines from India, France, and Japan, and delicious tandoori dishes. It's a great restaurant where you can always enjoy the spice magic without getting tired of it, even though the menu never changes. Is it because of Chef Kentamorimoto's technique? Recently, they have started offering courses and brought back a la carte options, so the menu is always changing, but it's a mysteriously consistent restaurant to visit.

K-san recommended a restaurant that was incredibly delicious!! Keema curry for 1,250 yen, Pakistani curry for 1,250 yen, assorted appetizers for 950 yen, gizzards for 750 yen, cheese gurucha for 700 yen, half blue cheese gurucha for 700 yen. I regret not ordering the full gurucha... Everything I ate was delicious!! Definitely going back 100%!!

7th visit after a year, first time trying the new style set course for 5500 yen. The appetizer platter and Nepalese dumplings Momos are delicious as always. Today's fish dish is Itoyoridai with Nepalese Sichuan pepper, a delightful new combination. The Tandoori lamb (+700 yen) and Blue Cheese Kulcha (+600 yen) were also great choices. The Pork Vindaloo curry is a classic and tasty dish. I enjoyed them with cider from Yoichi, French orange wine, Spanish white wine, and French Pinot. It seems like they will be changing their style again soon, looking forward to it!

When you want to spend a delicious and spicy time, it's "Michikusa Bazaar". ●White and smart touch with just the right richness ●The chef's appetizer is a selection of seasonal ingredients ●Orange - Elephant's butt sweetness, refreshing finish. The taste becomes just right after holding it in the mouth for a while. ●Cheese Krutcha from Kyodoschool, the balance of sharpness, depth, and bitterness is good♪ ●PINOT ESCOBARO Spicy & exotic, goes well with gizzard. ●Vin de France Garmay 2019 Luxury, enjoyable taste with a refreshing finish. ●Pork Bindaloo The acidity makes it sharp and mellow. The lingering umami and spice are good. I deeply felt that it was a high-class spice dish. ●Les Deux Terres ZIG ZAG The taste continues ●ICHI Wine like a prune. Good berry flavor ☺︎ Another very satisfying night. Thank you, Chef Morimoto. Thank you for the meal.

I had been taking a break for a while, but as soon as I heard they were reopening, I made a reservation and went. The restaurant opened at 3 pm that day, so I reserved for 3 pm. We started with our usual Indian red wine for a toast! It was my friend's birthday celebration. It made us both happy to celebrate at our favorite restaurant. The assorted appetizers were colorful and delicious, with various ingredients used. The pork from the tandoor was tender and incredibly tasty. The curry we were most looking forward to was the chicken curry. It was absolutely exquisite when paired with the gorgonzola kulcha. We will definitely visit again.

This is my first visit since the relocation. I love the assorted appetizers, they were all delicious and enjoyable. The cheese kurcha is a must-order. It's amazing that they don't use any oil, yet it's so delicious. We ordered two types of curry to share with my friend, and both were delicious and satisfying. The red wine went well with the meal. Finally, we ordered the tandoori chicken liver, which was also delicious. The restaurant is currently closed for priority measures to prevent the spread of the virus, but I will definitely visit again once they reopen.

I have been wanting to visit Michi Kusa Bazaar for a while now! This time I had a non-alcoholic drink for personal reasons, but next time I want to enjoy some wine! The taste of Kurucha is out of this world! The spiced curry was also very delicious! I will definitely revisit! #Sapporo #MichiKusaBazaar #Wine #Minami Maruyama

This shop is like a hidden gem in a residential street. Here, you can enjoy Indian curry and creative fusion cuisine. The appetizer platter is amazing! Hokkaido's ingredients are powerful, and the perfect use of spices enhances the natural flavors of the ingredients. The nametake (pickled mushrooms) is particularly interesting, with a hint of star anise. The tandoori chicken that followed was also surprising. Unlike traditional Indian tandoori chicken where the skin is removed, here it is intentionally left on, creating a crispy texture and juicy meat. The kulcha bread was also delicious. Finally, the curry. The curry has an Indian touch but with a taste that is more palatable for Japanese people. In Tokyo, there are a number of restaurants where you can enjoy tandoori dishes with alcohol and finish with curry, such as the well-known Kacchar Baccar, Kamalpul, and Dill's restaurants. This shop follows a similar direction, offering high-quality tandoori and spice dishes to enjoy with drinks, and finishing with a comforting curry. It is a valuable find in Hokkaido.

I extended my visit to a restaurant to try their limited-time curry dishes after seeing them on Instagram. - ALDO VIOLA BIANCOVIOLA 2018 TERRE SICILIANE: A smooth orange wine with hints of honey, offering a balance of bitterness and sweetness. - Curry dishes: 1) Pork Curry: A rich and flavorful curry with tender pork and a good balance of acidity and bitterness. 2) Chicken Curry: The chicken was perfectly cooked with a unique smoky flavor from Chef Morimoto. The bitterness and deliciousness were outstanding, making it a delightful experience. The spices, meat, and side dishes were perfectly balanced, showcasing the chef's genius. The eggplant side dish was also delicious. - FOND CYPRES VIN DE FRANCE: A fruity and sweet red wine, reminiscent of a dessert wine. - HALF FULL: A glossy rose wine with a mix of elegance and freshness, making it a perfect ending to the meal. Overall, it was a delightful lunch experience. It was great to see Chef Morimoto again after a long time. Thank you for the wonderful meal! ♡
