On September 23, 2023, I had dinner at Kanofiro. While Odori Park was bustling with the Autumn Fest, the atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm. I started with sparkling wine and beer, and the combination of ricotta cheese with rosemary, turnips and ikura, and soy sauce-marinated clams was excellent. The wine from Sardinia, Vermentino, with lime aroma and refreshing grapefruit flavor, paired perfectly with the carpione of young trout and cabbage. The freshly baked bread with fennel seeds was delicious. With the Negramaro rosé from Puglia, the grilled alfonsino with crustacean sauce was superb, and the potato haruka puree complemented the dish well. The Grechetto from Lazio paired nicely with the spaghetti aglio e olio with saury and maitake mushrooms, offering a taste of autumn. The Testamatta from Bibi Graetz paired well with the grilled highland beef sirloin, cooked to perfection, served with chicken broth and salt koji sauce, turnips, and shishito peppers. The Maloro grappa was a perfect match for the homemade chocolates, including marshmallow, raspberry, pink pepper, soy sauce, pistachio, mocha, and gorgonzola. For dessert, the hojicha panna cotta with kyoho grape sorbet and wasanbon sauce was delicious and beautifully presented. It was a delightful and tasty experience once again. Manager Yasudo, the wine was delicious, and Chef Ogawa, your dishes were fantastic as always. Thank you for a wonderful evening, and I look forward to visiting again.

I made a reservation for lunch on a regular day. The restaurant was fully booked that day. The course was 4180 yen and included 3 appetizers, pasta, main dish, dessert, coffee, and a small sweet. The most delicious dish was the flounder carpaccio with gazpacho on top, a refreshing summer dish that was very tasty. It was unfortunate that there was no menu paper, but the staff provided detailed explanations of the dishes. The bread was delicious, I had 3 helpings, and there were different types of bread served. It was a hot day, but the air conditioning was adjusted perfectly. Initially, it was strong because I came in from outside and was hot, but then it was adjusted to a comfortable temperature, allowing me to enjoy my meal in a pleasant environment.

Go Emiyo 2023 3 Tock (15/20 points) First lunch after returning to Sapporo. The magic starts from the moment the elevator opens. The food is fantastic, the service and atmosphere of the restaurant are excellent. Plus, the value for money is outstanding. Every dish is incredibly enjoyable. The presentation of each dish is beautiful, enhancing the colors of the food. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, without any sense of stiffness. It feels like fine dining, yet you can enjoy the food in a relaxed manner. The Pranzo C lunch course offers ample portions. The pairing of 3 glasses for 2000 yen is also wonderful. With a sparkling wine toast, 3 pairings, tax, and service included, the total cost per person is almost a flat 10,000 yen for a course of about 7000 yen, which is unbelievable value for money. I definitely want to visit again in the future!

Receiving something that is creatively beautiful and delicious, beyond what I could make myself, is truly valuable. Each bite brings happiness. The attention to detail by the staff is exceptional, with high levels of hospitality. For a lunch meal, the quality justifies the price. While 4000 yen for lunch may seem expensive to me, the quality makes it worth it. This time, one of my companions doesn't like meat, so we ordered a seafood-only dish. They asked about any food preferences in advance. I always love the appetizers in course meals, and they did not disappoint, exceeding my expectations. The combination of Hyuganatsu citrus, ricotta cheese, and prosciutto was delightful. The lightly fried Spanish mackerel with balsamic vinegar was refreshing and delicious. I'm not usually a fan of Spanish mackerel, but this dish was exceptional. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente, with a unique texture that I have never experienced before. I wonder what kind of pasta they use? The Spanish mackerel with butterbur sauce was a taste of spring, with a wonderful aroma and no bitterness. I forgot to take a picture, but we were offered a different warm bread each time we asked for a refill (my companion had two refills, totaling three pieces). They also provided a butter-like mixture of olive oil for the bread. The dessert selection was great, with four options to choose from. The drink selection was also extensive, with various herbal teas in addition to coffee, black tea, and espresso. You can also have refills, allowing you to relax and enjoy your meal. Finally, the chocolate dessert was presented like a jewel, and you can choose your favorite. Of course, I had to try them all, as each one had a unique flavor. It makes you want to eat more. It was my first visit in a while, but it was still wonderful. I will definitely come back.

The atmosphere was very nice, and the staff were very polite in explaining the dishes, making it a fantastic dinner. They also provided detailed explanations of the drinks, recommending a wine that suited me. I would love to visit again. It was a wonderful time.

This was my first visit to this restaurant that I had been wanting to try for a while. I was thinking about where to go for our anniversary, and decided to come to this restaurant. We made a lunch reservation due to our child's schedule, and we were able to relax as a couple. The wine had a great pairing and they even offered to add an extra glass for us, which was a really nice service. The food was also good!!! It was a wonderful anniversary.

For a birthday celebration, I had a lunch course with a half pairing (0.5 glasses x 3). I don't remember all the details of the explanations, but I do remember some parts. The meal included sparkling wine, smoked cheese, prosciutto, cheese, grapefruit, Sidone Viognier, marinated mackerel, Alba & Spanneda Rentore Vermentino, squid and seaweed pasta, red snapper with shrimp saffron sauce, hojicha panna cotta, chocolate sorbet, apricot sauce, rooibos earl grey, and assorted yuzu marshmallows and chocolates (raspberry, coffee, truffle, pistachio, matcha, passion fruit).

Two of us girls visited the restaurant. It was a bit awkward because there were only couples around. The atmosphere was nice, so maybe it's popular for dates? The service was good, and there were even people in private rooms who seemed to be there for business meetings. We chose the A course for the food. Overall, the flavors were on the strong side. It might be good for those who like strong flavors, but I found it a bit too much. The meat I had was very tough with a lot of gristle, so I couldn't really eat it. I shared some with my friend, and she was surprised by how tough it was. She said her meat was tender though. It was fun to choose from various types of chocolate. We had a little alcohol and it came out to just over 10,000 yen. It was very convenient that we could split the payment with our cards. It's actually not something you can do everywhere. Thank you for the meal!

I went for a surprise for my husband's birthday celebration. I had only told him the name of the restaurant beforehand, but to my surprise, he proposed to me. The staff at the restaurant also cooperated and it was a very happy time. The delicious drinks and food made me even happier ❤️ Thank you very much ❤️

I visited the restaurant by reservation on a regular day. It was my second time. Since it is a high-class restaurant, I cannot visit frequently, but it is nice for celebrations. The service at the restaurant is good, the food is delicious, and it is the best to spend a quiet and relaxing time. I ordered all the chocolates at the end, which seems to be a common thing to do.

The staff were all wonderful, the course was great value for money, and the speed of the dishes coming out was just right. At the end, they brought out several cute chocolates for you to choose from. There were some unique flavors I had never tried before, which made for a fun experience.

I had a truly luxurious experience. It felt cozy and intimate. The dishes were served with a sense of solemnity. I felt a bit nervous at first. It was advised not to be too loud, but we ended up having a good time. The portions seemed small at first, but eating slowly made me feel satisfied. I also drank plenty of water, so the alcohol slowly took effect and it felt really nice. I am grateful for being able to experience such an elegant meal. I felt happy. Thank you for the meal.

I was treated to a truly luxurious experience. It felt cozy and solemn. I felt a bit nervous. It's important not to be too loud in a place like this, but we still had a good time. At first, I thought the portion was small, but I ate slowly and ended up feeling satisfied. I also drank water throughout, so the alcohol slowly kicked in and it felt really nice. I feel so honored to have experienced such an elegant meal. I am happy. Thank you for the feast.

One of my favorite restaurants in Sapporo. The food, atmosphere, and staff's hospitality are all top-notch. I love it. By the way, when I visited, you could add a dessert for around 1,000 yen each. They all looked delicious, so if you can't decide, just solve it with money!

The Italian restaurant Canofiro combines the pleasant sound of Canoro and the spinning of Filo. It is a hidden gem with irresistible hospitality. The menu includes gnocchi with strawberries soup, smoked ricotta wakasagi escabeche, Asahikawa Kagura beef shichinbo tartare, zucchini and wild leek aglio e olio, Tariolini with lamb leg meat grilled with yuri root and Parmigiano cheese, risotto with orange sorbet, hojicha mousse and ginger cafe. It was a happy moment with a special celebratory cake! Thank you for the delicious meal!

On a certain holiday, I made a lunch reservation here to celebrate my mother's birthday. I was able to make a reservation by chance due to a cancellation when I called, as this restaurant is quite popular and tends to fill up quickly on holidays if not booked early. On this day, we decided to go for the "3000 yen course" after discussing various options in advance. The first dish was a ricotta cheese and ikura with pepper and eggplant, presented in a Western style. The balance between the ikura and cheese with olive oil was excellent. Next, we had prosciutto with buffalo mozzarella and Shine Muscat grapes. The exquisite flavor of the prosciutto, paired with the outstanding mozzarella and the subtle sweetness of the Shine Muscat grapes, was a perfect combination. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the butter for the bread, which was a homemade mixture of olive oil and cream, with what seemed to be sprouts inside the warm bread...corn kernels? Later I found out they were corn kernels, and the focaccia for seconds was also delicious. Moving on to the red snapper carpaccio, the mushrooms with just the right amount of salt really stood out. The large, stylish plate of yellowtail with mizuna and cherry tomato pasta was beautifully presented. The finely chopped yellowtail had no fishy smell and the right balance of acidity and pepper. The main meat dish, which I forgot to take a picture of, was grilled pork from Ecorin Village Snow Country Pasture. With a sprinkle of Utah rock salt and Mediterranean sea salt on the side, the tender lean meat and sweet fatty part were delicious. The turnips and greens next to it were fresh and juicy. For dessert, we had a sweet potato tiramisu, where they shaved coffee beans in front of us, adding a flavorful hazelnut ice cream. As a bonus, we were served chocolates with various flavors such as Gorgonzola, pink pepper, pistachio, and marshmallow. The tomatoes were subtly delicious. Finally, we finished with an espresso. The outstanding service once again made our parents very happy. We would love to visit again for another special occasion. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

RISTORANTE CANOFILO in Susukino. Opened in 2002, it is considered one of the older Italian restaurants in Sapporo and continues to be popular, even during the pandemic, with full reservations day and night. It has been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog. The interior is warm with a dark brown color scheme, and the atmosphere is elegant with crisp tablecloths. Chef Tomoji Ogawa is from Hokkaido. After working as a chef at the predecessor restaurant, Ristorante Tertina, he opened RISTORANTE CANOFILO. First, we tried the Ricotta cheese and fava bean mousse. It was an interesting combination of Ricotta cheese and fava beans, with a generous portion of uni on top that added a nice touch. The Prosciutto and melon dish featured melon from Yoichi and Prosciutto from San Daniele, creating a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors. The main dish was Hokkaido brand beef sirloin, which was rich and delicious, but would have been better paired with wine. The spaghetti with duck sausage and girolle mushrooms was simple yet satisfying. The rice dish with grilled corn and Parmigiano was flavorful and well-executed. Dessert was mango and coconut gelato, which was tasty but a more extravagant dessert would have been preferred. The meal ended with Gorgonzola-flavored chocolate, a unique and delicious finish. Overall, the meal cost around 15,000 yen per person without alcohol. I look forward to returning when the situation improves.

I went to Sapporo for work. I had some time, so I made a reservation at this restaurant that is listed in the top 100 restaurants in Sapporo. The location is near Susukino and Odori Park.

The pasta had a strong garlic flavor and made me crave alcohol. The tomato and capers added a nice touch. The pork had a nice sear, and the fat was delicious. The dessert was also satisfying. The additional Rooibos Lavender Tea had a luxurious aroma. The meal allowed me to fully experience the blessings of Hokkaido's nature. The 3,000 yen price may be standard in local areas, but coming from Tokyo, it felt like a great value. The service was also pleasant. Overall, I was able to enjoy the abundance of Hokkaido's nature in this course meal.

The 3000 yen lunch course with a half pairing for 1800 yen. Total for 2 people was 10200 yen. They don't charge a 10% service fee, but the service at the restaurant was excellent. 1.

Italian Ham with Yubari Melon - Sweet and salty, thick slices of ham with butter, cream, and olive oil. 3. Carpaccio - Red snapper and eggplant, Gazpacho fish sauce. Red snapper was tender with mild acidity. 4. Maika Zucchini Karasumi Pasta. 5. Sanshoku Pork - Aged for 15 years in balsamic vinegar and rock salt. Delicious meat. 6.

◎Visit Situation July 2021. Weekday lunch. I'm used to dining alone, but dining alone at a high-end restaurant is a first for me. I arrived right on time for my reservation and saw a notice at the elevator on the first floor saying "Fully booked for reservations." It hinted at the popularity of the restaurant. Since it was also the opening time, I was the first customer of the day. The staff warmly welcomed me. ◎Interior I was guided to a sofa seat at the back. The rounded chairs created a sense of personal space. Considering the current situation and dining alone, I appreciated the thoughtful arrangement. As more customers arrived, they were seated with ample space between tables, so I didn't feel self-conscious about dining alone. ◎Menu (based on memory, not official) Most affordable A course at 1,980 yen including tax. ・Amuse-bouche - Gold carrot and orange mousse. A bite of this dish was a pleasant surprise with the perfect harmony of sweet carrot and tangy orange. The mousse's fluffy texture combined with the contrasting textures of carrot and orange danced in my mouth. ・Bread (round bread, rye bread) with butter. The round bread had a crispy texture on the surface. When I asked what it was, I was kindly informed that it was made from polenta, a cornmeal widely used in northern Italy. The butter was a blend of olive oil and cream, making it easy to spread and rich in olive oil flavor. ・Appetizer - Flounder and summer vegetable gazpacho. The flounder had a crunchy texture, indicating its freshness. I enjoyed the luxurious combination of flounder-wrapped chilled grilled eggplant and summer vegetable-filled gazpacho. ・Main course - Zuwai crab, zucchini, broccoli, mini tomatoes pasta. I chose pasta over risotto when making the reservation. The dish had a beautiful green color scheme with green vegetables and green mini tomatoes called "Midori-chan." ・Dessert - Gorgonzola and almond semifreddo with cherry sauce. I selected this dessert from five options, considering my preference for almonds and cautiousness towards the strong flavor of Gorgonzola. The semifreddo was a perfect treat on a hot day, blending the unique flavors of Gorgonzola, cherry sauce, and almond slices. I also enjoyed a coffee with a complimentary service of 7 types of handmade chocolates, choosing 6 except for marshmallow-filled ones. ◎Summary The whole experience lasted about an hour. The staff was exceptionally friendly, engaging in conversation and providing a delightful dining experience. The food was delicious, and I felt truly pampered during my visit.
