Hokkaido report (lol) I visited "Dorian" to enjoy Nemuro local cuisine after a year! Last time, I had the "Escalope" and "Oriental Rice" which were delicious! Visiting around 11:30 on a Sunday, I was able to sit right away without waiting! The retro coffee shop atmosphere is also nice! This time, I ordered this! "Escalope Special ¥1,600" I went for the special with "Akanko Pork" which is used for the cutlet! It arrived in about 10 minutes!! Wow! Indeed, the cutlet is bigger and thicker than the default last time, giving a luxurious escalope feel and looks very delicious! First, I start with the side salad without rushing! (lol) Now, onto the meat!! The strong umami and sweetness of the Akanko Pork's meat and fat are very delicious! The meat is moist and tender without being dry, very delicious! This is the kind of butter rice that goes very well with it! The rich demi-glace sauce, simmered for over a week, is seasoned perfectly and very delicious! The taste of the demi-glace sauce is unique to Dorian's escalope and very delicious! It has a good volume and satisfying to eat, but it's not a huge portion so you can order it without worry! (lol) I finished it quickly and deliciously! I recommend this special escalope that gives a sense of satisfaction!! It was very delicious!! Thank you for the meal.

I went on a tour to try famous dishes I have never eaten before in Eastern Hokkaido, visiting Nemuro and Kushiro. The second stop was at Nemuro Doria-san. It is a famous restaurant for its scallops, alongside New Monbran. When we arrived a little after 12 o'clock, the restaurant was almost full. Honestly, I wanted to try something else, but this time I had to go with the scallops! The portion was huge. At one point, I thought about leaving some, but I managed to finish it all! If I were to describe the taste, it would be like "butter rice with chopped bamboo shoots topped with tonkatsu and generously drizzled with demi-glace sauce." Even though I could only imagine the food while eating it, it's amazing how this dish from Nemuro has spread to other regions slowly and become available for everyone to enjoy.

Hokkaido Wanderlust 90: Yokoahama, a chef in Nemuro City, established the Western-style dish "Escalope" in Nemuro City, which has become a popular local comfort food. The restaurant opened in 1969 after branching out from New Mont Blanc and was selected as one of the top 100 Western-style restaurants in 2021. The stylish exterior of green and white, with food samples displayed in glass cases. The retro cafe atmosphere inside is charming. I was the first customer and ordered the Escalope for ¥980. It arrived in about 10 minutes, served on butter rice with bamboo shoots and tonkatsu covered in a light demi-glace sauce. The side salad was generous, making it a complete meal on one plate. The sauce was light, making it suitable for breakfast as well. The tonkatsu was crispy, and the bamboo shoots added a nice touch. This local gourmet dish seems like it could become popular nationwide. For those wanting a hearty meal, the Escalope Special for ¥1600 offers thick pork cutlets with a rich demi-glace sauce. The Oriental Rice is also intriguing. The Ochishirakawa Cape and its surroundings were also breathtaking.

On a certain day in August, I visited Nemuro during a business trip from Kushiro, hoping to escape the scorching heat of Tokyo and enjoy some cool weather, only to find that the temperature was still as high as 30℃... It seems like the whole of Japan is boiling. Nevertheless, it's still better than Tokyo. I checked into the hotel and regained my composure before heading out for dinner... I went to "Dorian" in search of Nemuro's soul food, "Escalope". "Dorian" is a shop that, along with the long-established "New Mon Blanc", has popularized Escalope as Nemuro's soul food. I entered the stylish shop and sat at a slightly low table resembling a cafe to look at the menu. I decided to order the hearty "Escalope Special" with a large, thick cutlet topped with a rich demi-glace sauce. It arrived sooner than I expected... The appearance alone indicated that it was delicious. The freshly fried cutlet was incredibly tasty, as expected from a Western-style restaurant. The light demi-glace sauce brought out the flavor of the Akanko pork. The butter rice was also light and complemented the overall dish, enhancing the taste of the ingredients. The menu was very extensive, and I would love to try other dishes, but... this is a town at the eastern end of Japan, and I won't be able to come back for a while. I hope they expand to Tokyo in the future! Thank you for the delicious meal.

Scallop Special for 1600 yen. I arrived at Nemuro, the easternmost city in Japan, after flying from Kansai Airport to New Chitose, then to Kushiro Airport, and driving for just under 3 hours. The purpose of my visit was to see the Chashi ruins, the number one of Japan's 100 famous castles. Since I came all this way, I couldn't miss out on the local gourmet food. The Scallop, a dish with cutlets on buttered rice, similar to Turkey Rice. I decided to go for the special version, but the seasoning was a bit strong. The meat didn't seem too different from the regular version, and when I tried a bite of the regular one that my family ordered, it wasn't as strongly flavored. Maybe I should have just gotten the regular one. However, the atmosphere inside the restaurant was unique, with a cozy cafe-like vibe. Thank you for the meal.

When I had business in Nemuro City, I tried the escallops at "Dorian", a restaurant known for its local specialties. I enjoyed the local Western-style dish and learned about its history. #Dorian #DorianRestaurant #Nemuro #NemuroCityGourmet #NemuroCity #Escallops #EscallopsWereDelicious

This is a restaurant located diagonally across from the AEON Nemuro store. The interior had a nostalgic atmosphere with a hint of Showa and American vibes. I've had scallops before, so this time I ordered the "Oriental Rice" for 1,150 yen, which was marked as a registered trademark. Despite there being no previous customers, the dish was served in less than 10 minutes. It came with a side salad and potato salad. The rice had a dry curry flavor, and the tender sagari was topped with a demiglace sauce. The sauce is said to have been simmered for over a week since the restaurant's establishment in 1969, and it is their pride and joy. It didn't have a particularly unique taste, but rather felt like a culmination of flavors I've had before. The comforting taste of a long-standing establishment enjoyed in a calm atmosphere. The staff kindly allowed me to take photos inside the restaurant, and even made sure not to get in the way of my camera's angle while I was taking pictures. Whether it was the owner or the chef, their pleasant demeanor reflected the dignity of a long-standing establishment.

When it comes to specialty dishes in Nemuro, the Escap from Durian is a must-try. I have always wanted to try it, but Nemuro is too far away and I couldn't visit easily. The atmosphere of the restaurant, both inside and outside, feels like a blast from the past. The Escap itself is a dish that evokes a sense of nostalgia. If you happen to be in Nemuro, it might be a good idea to try it as a memorable experience.

I had scallops in Nemuro, the easternmost point in Japan. I was able to enter without waiting, but it quickly filled up during lunchtime, with people waiting outside. The menu had many delicious options, but I decided on the scallops today. There were regular scallops and special scallops, and the special ones seemed larger and thicker in the menu photos, so I ordered the regular one. The butter rice with bamboo shoots had a strong pepper aroma rather than butter. On top of that was the tonkatsu with demi-glace sauce. It was a perfect match and delicious! The thinness of the tonkatsu was just right. The meat sauce on the hot plate that nearby customers were eating also looked delicious. The sandwich was also appealing. The oriental rice with dry curry, similar to the scallops but with dry curry instead of butter rice, was also tempting. If only Nemuro were a bit closer... I dream of what I'll try next time, but in the end, will I end up ordering the scallops again?

I came to Nemuro over 10 years ago and had scallops, and that was the last time I had them. There is a cafe-like restaurant in the city center, right in front of Aeon. I entered just before 1 p.m. and could be seated immediately. Of course, I ordered the scallops for 980 yen. It is a Nemuro dish where pork cutlet is placed on butter rice and topped with demi-glace sauce. Some places here offer ketchup rice instead of butter rice. They also put chopped bamboo shoots in the butter rice, creating an unexpected collaboration of Japanese and Western flavors. The texture and taste are really good. The cutlet is crispy, and there is a decent amount of meat. However, I wish they had a little more demi-glace sauce. They are probably trying to keep the price at 980 yen, but I would be happier if they increased the sauce and went slightly over 1000 yen. But that's probably from a tourist's perspective; as a local food, it might be different. Thank you for the meal.

It's been about a year since my last visit. It's not often that I get a chance to come all the way to Nemuro... I visited around 6pm on a weekday. I had a hard time deciding, but ended up ordering the escalope. It didn't quite impress me as much as the first time I tried it. However, the combination of butter rice and cutlet was still delicious as always. Thank you for the meal♪

On October 9, 2022, at 2:10 PM, on a sunny afternoon, I visited Dorian-san, which I was looking forward to during my trip to Eastern Hokkaido. I had left my hotel in Shiretoko in the morning, took a commemorative photo at Shiretoko Pass, visited Notsuke Peninsula, and enjoyed a tractor bus tour to see the walruses. Finally, after a long journey, I arrived at this restaurant at this time. Upon arrival, I couldn't find the parking lot and had to ask the staff for directions. They kindly directed me to the parking lot diagonally across at Aeon. The service was very polite, and I was impressed. Luckily, we were seated without a wait, but those who arrived later had to wait outside. Even at this time, many people of all ages were enjoying their time inside the restaurant. The oldies music playing inside brought back memories of my student days when I used to love listening to it. We ordered the Escalope (900 yen), which we decided to share two plates among three people. It consisted of pork cutlet on buttered rice topped with demi-glace sauce, a local food representing Nemuro. The taste was gentle, with each ingredient complementing the others without overpowering. It was not too rich, as I had imagined. Surrounded by interior decor that exuded history, I felt grateful to be able to enjoy the taste of a famous restaurant with my wife and third son at the edge of Hokkaido. I thought it was a proud establishment of Nemuro town. After placing our order, my youngest son leisurely looked back at the menu. It seemed he quite liked this restaurant, as he excitedly looked at the menu and suggested what to eat next time. My wife laughed and jokingly reminded him, "It's far, so we can't come here often." I watched this simple scene with a smile.

In Nemuro, you can try the local specialty dish called Escalope at "Dorian." Escalope is a one-plate dish where a tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) is placed on buttered rice with demi-glace sauce and salad on the side. When I tried the Escalope, I was amazed by the portion size - the tonkatsu was quite heavy and my chopsticks started feeling heavier as I ate. It reminded me of the feeling of eating a Turkish rice dish. The Escalope at this restaurant is really filling! On the way back to the hotel, I found myself rubbing my stomach as I was so full!

During my trip to Hokkaido, I had dinner at "Dorian" in Nemuro! They offer a local specialty unique to Nemuro called "escalope" - a combination of butter rice, tonkatsu, and demiglace sauce. It's a mysterious trio that, when you take a bite, comes together perfectly in your mouth and tastes delicious. Surprisingly, it was light and easy to finish. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant around 2 PM on a holiday, and it was quite crowded for that time. I came here to try the famous Nemuro specialty, Escalope! Escalope is a Western dish with a thin cutlet placed on top of buttered rice. Hmm, the flavor is surprisingly not very strong! Personally, I would have preferred a stronger taste. It's nice to see these local Western-style restaurants that have become rooted in the community. Thank you for the meal! (*´ω｀*)

【September 4, 2022】Survey report. Day 4 of the Hokkaido expedition. Leaving the Kitoushi campsite in Kushiro, our next destination is Cape Nosappu. Before heading to Cape Nosappu, we decided to grab a bite to eat. We visited a restaurant known for its scallops called "Esukaroppu." It has been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants and has received great reviews, so we decided to check it out. We arrived at 9:40 am. ■Interior The interior of the restaurant has a Western-style decor with many antique items displayed. Jazz piano music is playing in the background. There were vintage posters of "Nosappu no Tetsu" hanging on the walls. ■Seating 4 counter seats, 5 tables for 4 people, 2 tables for 6 people ■Operation There was one man in the kitchen and two staff members in the dining area. We were served 13 minutes after the restaurant opened at 10 am. Our order and review are as follows: ◆Scallop - 950 yen, Rating: 4.0 The butter rice had a firm texture with finely chopped bamboo shoots. The scallop cutlet, coated in a thin layer of breadcrumbs, seemed to be sautéed in butter instead of deep-fried. The demi-glace sauce, made by simmering aromatic vegetables and beef for a week, was delicious. 【Overall impression】 The best thing about this place is that you can enjoy Western-style cuisine without any pretense. The scallop dish is reasonably priced and seems to be a local favorite for everyday dining.

The retro atmosphere of the restaurant with rockabilly music playing is great. I tried the famous Nemuro scallop dish, and the seasoning was perfect. The taste is gentle but not too light, just right. The demiglace sauce is light and not overpowering. The portion size was just right and delicious. I would love to visit this restaurant again.

Scallop ★ exquisite ◎ very delicious ○ normally delicious △ hmm... The specialty dish of Nemuro, the scallop, was superb. The creamy flavor of the butter rice, the substantial presence of the tonkatsu, and the understated taste of the demiglace sauce all come together perfectly. It is a harmonious and well-balanced dish without any unnecessary elements. The taste gives a sense of security that makes you want to enjoy it every week. It was a moment that made me envious of the people of Nemuro. Thank you for the meal!

The specialty of Nemuro, Escalope, is a dish where pork cutlet is placed on butter rice and topped with demi-glace sauce. The freshly fried cutlet is crispy and has a satisfying thickness. The butter rice, resembling pilaf, has a hint of buttery sweetness and a spicy kick from the black pepper. The sauce has a strong balance of sweetness and acidity from the tomatoes, tying the dish together nicely. Despite its unusual combination, the dish was well-balanced and delicious.

In Kushiro, during a stay, we visited the famous restaurant "Dorian" where Escalope, a topic of discussion in the night club activities, can be enjoyed! This restaurant has been selected as one of the top 100 coffee shops on Tabelog. It seems to have a long history, operating in Nemuro since 1969. We arrived at the restaurant around 10 o'clock and it seemed like they had just opened, with only one customer before us. We were seated at a table and soon after, more and more customers started coming in. The place was almost full! It was surprising to see such popularity from early in the morning. I tried the Nemuro specialty and the restaurant's pride, the Escalope with a little less rice. The Escalope was pork cutlet on buttered rice, topped with Demi-Glace sauce. It was delicious! This dish is a local specialty in Nemuro, also known as "Esca" for short. My friend ordered the Oriental Rice, which was a thin dry curry topped with grilled harami meat and rich Demi-Glace sauce. It was also very tasty. Thank you for the meal!

Tonight, I visited a restaurant in Nemuro to try their B-class gourmet dish called "Escalope". Escalope is a dish where pork cutlet is placed on top of ketchup rice or butter rice and topped with demi-glace sauce. It originated from a popular restaurant in Kushiro called "Mont Blanc". This restaurant I visited is also known for their Escalope. They offer two variations - red Escalope with ketchup rice and white Escalope with butter rice. I decided to order the Escalope, which cost 950 yen. When it arrived, I was delighted to see the dish in front of me. The white Escalope had a pork cutlet on top of butter rice with demi-glace sauce, accompanied by fresh vegetables on the side. The butter rice had a mild flavor, complementing the demi-glace sauce well. The pork cutlet was thin, making it easy to eat and not overpowering. Overall, the dish had a good balance of butter rice, demi-glace sauce, and pork cutlet. It was a satisfying meal.
