"Maruyama Kanaka" by the river, a popular restaurant in Teine, is a log house where San's parents run a Japanese cuisine restaurant. Even on weekdays, it is crowded with madams, so it is recommended to make a reservation if going with multiple people. Lunch is available until 3 pm, and overall, it is very reasonably priced. The menu is very attractive, making it hard to choose, but ordering the "Seasonal Vegetable Set Meal" with a variety of small dishes without dessert is a good option. It includes 9 types of small dishes with a menu, making it easy to understand. The content changes daily and includes dishes such as asari clams, grilled bamboo shoots, fried tofu with soy milk, yellow egg soboro, Nanban pickles, simmered vegetables, colored vegetables with sansho miso, egg castella, winter baron steamed bun with shrimp sauce, and vegetable spring rolls with foam dressing. The warmth of freshly made dishes with the chef's skillful touch is delicious. The sushi contents are also amazing with bream, tuna, squid, egg, button shrimp, and spicy cod roe. The sweet chawanmushi and hot miso soup with a rich flavor are served after the meal. The drink after the meal, lemon iced tea, is also 150 yen. Not only is the cost performance great, but the taste is also excellent. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience. Thank you for the meal.

Making a reservation was the right choice! The parking lot was already full right at the 11:00 opening time! Almost everyone who arrived around 11:20 without a reservation had to leave because there were no seats available. The parking is done in a row, so if someone leaves, those at the back have to move. I had the bara chirashi and my companion had the vegetable kaiseki and sushi kaiseki, both were amazing! Only 1450 yen!

I came to have lunch with my wife at 12:30 on a holiday. We had tried to visit this restaurant three times before, but each time the small parking lot in front of the restaurant was full. So, today, we made a reservation for a table a little before the opening time and then arrived. The parking lot was full again, but because we had a reservation, I boldly parallel parked and entered the restaurant. I was told that they double park the cars and if it gets in the way, they would announce it and ask for the cars to be moved. I didn't know that was the case. During the meal, I was asked to move my car, but the customers were so understanding and politely showed their gratitude without any complaints. It's all about mutual consideration. For lunch, I ordered the sushi kaiseki set and my wife ordered the chirashi bowl to share. The sushi kaiseki set came with salad, simmered dish, sesame tofu, tempura elegantly arranged on small plates, 6 pieces of sushi, chawanmushi, and miso soup. The simmered dish had a delicate and lightly flavored broth, the sesame tofu was delicious, and the tempura was crispy with a delightful texture of the shrimp. The sushi was fresh and the rice was perfectly seasoned. It was a very satisfying lunch. I definitely want to come back again.

Enzan Kanaka seems to be a family-run restaurant. We came here because my family heard good things about the cost performance. It's always crowded, so we had given up on coming here. However, the inside of the restaurant is surprisingly spacious, and even though we had to double park in the parking lot, we were eventually called in. We made a reservation and went. The taste is just amazing. The chirashi sushi has a lot of vegetables in it, and it's frustrating that I can't convey this taste through words.

I came here the other day, and I came again today♪ I wanted His Majesty to try it, so I brought him along. The 11:20 slot was full, with reservations as well, so we reluctantly made a reservation for around 13:00. My mom seemed a bit worried, saying, "I hope it's okay, but we'll take the reservation for now." We arrived at 13:15 and found a parking spot \( ˆoˆ )/. The bara chirashi was around 1200 yen plus 150 yen for dessert - it was delicious! The seafood, warm vegetables, tamagoyaki, and the squid tempura all had interesting textures. We also had the sushi kaiseki set (fit for a king) which was delicious♪ The chef did a great job today too! My dad and mom said, "If you call ahead, we can keep a spot open for you!" Next time, I want to try the various set meals or rice bowls! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

The restaurant is run by a father, mother, and their daughter, and it has a cozy atmosphere. The original building seems to have been a Western-style restaurant with a log-like design. The sushi course was excellent - the freshness of the fish, the rice, and the sushi-making skills were all top-notch for the price. The tempura was crispy and not greasy, with a light and flavorful dipping sauce. The salad, simmered dish, chawanmushi, and other side dishes were all meticulously prepared and elegantly presented. For the price, the quality of the food was outstanding. And on top of that, I left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied. On my way out, I complimented the chef on the meticulous preparation of each dish, and he seemed genuinely happy. I'm sure this restaurant will become even more popular. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I happened to find this restaurant when I went towards Teine area. It has high ratings on Tabelog and Google. The restaurant is located at a curve on a slope, making it difficult to park and leave as parking is parallel. The building is in a log house style and doesn't look like a sushi restaurant at all, haha. It seems they only open for lunch now. It was crowded even on a weekday, so it might be even busier on weekends. The owner is quite elderly but friendly. The interior has AM radio playing. The menu with photos is nice. Besides sushi and chirashi, they also offer set meals and meals in a box. I ordered the bara chirashi for 1320 yen, with extra serving for 1550 yen. It looked very beautiful with a variety of colorful vegetables on top, which is rare. The taste was delicious, not only the fish but also the vegetables. The fried squid legs were sweet and a good harmony. I wonder if the toppings increase with the extra serving? It was so delicious that I wanted more rice. This bara chirashi is truly unique and can only be eaten here. The miso soup was also tasty. Considering the taste and content, the cost performance is high. They only accept cash payment and give a free coffee voucher. I would definitely like to try the lunch mini course for 2200 yen.

I always find the parking lot full at this restaurant, but this time I was lucky to find a parking space for one car. I hurriedly made a U-turn and parked right away. It had been a while since I last visited. I ordered the seasonal set meal, which included sushi and a seasonal kaiseki meal. After waiting for about 10 minutes, the meal arrived. The kaiseki meal consisted of 9 dishes, each meticulously prepared and delicious. The sushi was also tasty. For dessert, I had zenzai, which was not too sweet and was also excellent.

On a regular day, just past 12:30 pm. I was able to make a same-day reservation, but it was a close call. It's extremely popular and crowded, but highly recommended. Maruyama Kawanaka, which has a high rating on Tabelog, is run by the parents of the owner. The exterior is like a log cabin, with a sushi counter displaying fresh fish. The owner and chef wear white cooking uniforms. There is parking space in front of the restaurant, but it's usually full so they have a system of parallel parking and moving when called. The owner, his wife, and another staff member manage the place, which must be quite challenging. With a second floor, a wide variety of dishes, desserts, and drinks, they handle it all with a pleasant attitude. Now, onto the menu. The Seasonal Assorted Meal costs 1100 yen, with 9 dishes and 6 pieces of sushi. Miso soup and chawanmushi are included. Each dish is carefully prepared, whether cold or hot, and the flavors are exceptional. The vegetables are cooked and seasoned perfectly. They provide a list of the dishes, which is very helpful. The sushi is fresh and delicious. After the meal, you can have coffee for an additional 165 yen, and they give you a drink ticket with no expiration date for your next visit. It took about 30 minutes for the food to be served, which is understandable given the busy atmosphere. So, it's best to go when you have plenty of time. It was a wonderful dining experience at such a reasonable price. I truly appreciate their hard work. The food was delicious and affordable. Thank you very much! I can't wait to go back! Thank you for the amazing meal!

Neighborhood series. This was my first visit in nine years. I arrived right after the opening time on a weekday (11am). There were no customers before me, but many came in after. Since I was dining alone, I was seated at the counter. It seemed like the other customers had reservations as they were greeted by name as soon as they entered. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife, with the wife taking care of the customers. Unfortunately, they didn't have curry on the menu that day. They used to run a sushi restaurant nearby, so their sushi is highly recommended, but apparently, they also take pride in their curry. I'll have to try the curry next time! I ordered the Fish Set (748 yen) which included Red Kamaboko as the fish of the day. I chose it because it wasn't logged in the menu before. There is also a Meat Set available for the same price, where you can choose from grilled meat, fried chicken, or pork miso. The price for a set meal like this is quite reasonable. The Kamaboko had a good amount of fish and was cooked just right. In addition to the grilled fish, the set included miso soup, rice, cabbage salad, chawanmushi, spinach ohitashi, surf clam sashimi, and cold tofu. I also received a drink ticket for my next visit. It's amazing to get all of this for 748 yen. The rice was shiny and a bit soft. I wonder if they also make sushi with this rice? By the way, this place is called Log House. It's quite strange to see a Log House at a sushi restaurant. They even have a second floor. Although it's not exactly a sushi restaurant, the chef looks just like a sushi chef. Thank you for the meal.

The appearance doesn't look like a sushi restaurant. The parking lot can fit about 6 cars with double parking. I avoided going in until today because it seemed like a hassle to move cars while eating. The restaurant has a Western-style design. The sushi kaiseki set for 1,000 yen plus tax is perfect for those who get bored easily with a variety of dishes. The sushi and chawanmushi are just the right size! It's probably more geared towards women... When I paid, they gave me a coffee voucher for my next visit. I'll come back next time with my girlfriends!

Maruyama, Kawanaka's parents' shop. I finally got to go (o^^o) It's a bit off the beaten path in Teine. A log house, a sushi restaurant? A Japanese restaurant? It doesn't look like it. The interior is also a log house. When asked if we had a reservation, we said no, and were directed to the second floor. Before going, I always call to confirm. Many restaurants have not been open recently, so I always make a phone call. "Are you open?" "Yes, thank you." At that time, I wish they had mentioned about needing a reservation. The restroom also requires a reservation! It's fine, even on the second floor. I just felt like, "Oh, a reservation was required?" The order was: Seasonal meal set with dessert for 1150 yen, and Sushi kaiseki set with dessert for 1150 yen. The staircase in the log house spirals in the center of the store. The landlady comes up the stairs in a hurry. It must be tough because the stairs are narrow. When the dishes arrived, I was surprised. Such quality for this price. A meal set where you can fully enjoy Japanese cuisine. Everything was delicious. Of course, the sushi was also of good quality for the price. This is amazing!!! Please see the images. It's a quiet and enjoyable Japanese cuisine experience. It feels like it's used for lunch gatherings with nearby families or relatives. The taste of Maruyama and Kawanaka's parents is the same. They have inherited it well. The rumors were true. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal (o^^o)

In mid-November, the third wave of infections began to spread slowly in Sapporo, and a request for "self-restraint from unnecessary outings in cases where infection risks cannot be avoided" was issued ahead of the rest of the country. I had been avoiding dining out for a while, feeling the presence of infections in my living area and the looming threat of the disease. In mid-December, on a weekday when my husband had taken a day off, we went to the Teine area for some errands. There was a restaurant that caught my eye from the reviews on Myレビ, so we decided to give it a try. The information suggested that the restaurant had taken measures against infections, so we felt reassured and chose to dine there. When we arrived, the parking space in front of the restaurant seemed full, but the staff came out and showed us where to park. The interior of the restaurant was spacious enough, with screens hanging between neighboring seats. This setup allowed us to dine without worrying about the neighboring tables and also served as a splash guard, leaving a good impression. There was a spiral staircase in the center, indicating that there was a second-floor seating area with a nice view. After looking over the menu, we placed our orders, and we were asked if we wanted to add "zenzai" as dessert for the day. Normally, I would have jumped at the offer, but that day I had plans to eat a different dessert so I passed. The prices were listed excluding tax, but there was also a clear indication of the tax-inclusive prices right below, which was easy to understand. We ordered the following dishes: - Seasonal Vegetable Set Meal: 1000 yen (tax included 1100 yen) - Bara Chirashi: 1000 yen (tax included 1100 yen) The seasonal vegetable set meal consisted of 9 seasonal vegetables, nigiri sushi, miso soup, and chawanmushi. The dishes were well-seasoned, not too strong or too weak, and had a delightful taste. The egg was slightly sweet with a souffle-like texture, almost like a dessert. The nigiri sushi included 6 pieces, with the rice being small in size, but balanced well with the toppings. The Bara Chirashi had a good variety of ingredients, offering different textures to enjoy. The chawanmushi had only shiitake mushrooms as toppings, serving as a refreshing palate cleanser. The pickled ginger was delicious, as expected from a sushi restaurant, and my husband even wished there was more in the Bara Chirashi. The restaurant had a cozy atmosphere and the service was excellent, making it a place I would love to visit regularly if it were in my neighborhood. Additionally, we received a drink service voucher at the time of payment, adding to the overall satisfaction of the dining experience. The restaurant was diligent in their infection prevention measures, such as regular ventilation and offering knee blankets during the cold weather. The staff seemed busy and didn't show many smiles, but their dedicated service left a positive impression. Dining out after about a month brought some anxiety, but the various services provided by the restaurant made the experience enjoyable.

A Japanese restaurant in Teine. A restaurant that I had been curious about from gourmet books. The parking lot can accommodate about 5 cars. They seem to be making an effort with their COVID-19 measures. You can enjoy a lively sushi experience with a variety of side dishes for 1,100 yen. This is definitely a beloved restaurant. I visited on a Friday for lunch around 11 am. The parking lot in front already had one car parked, which I assume belonged to the owner. There were no previous customers. The restaurant has a cozy log cabin style which I really liked. The atmosphere is nice, almost like a Western-style restaurant. When I entered, the owner and a female staff warmly welcomed me. They provided hand sanitizer and allowed me to choose my seat. I chose a seat towards the back. There are a few 4-person table seats, a few 6-person table seats, and counter seats, but I didn't see any tatami seating. I didn't check if the second floor was open for seating. I decided on the "Seasonal Set Meal" for 1,100 yen and the "Sushi Kaiseki Meal" for 1,100 yen. Even though there were no previous customers, it took about 20 minutes for the food to be served. I could hear the frying and cooking sounds. The owner was making sushi at the visible counter. Just watching him work made the waiting time enjoyable. When the food was served, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow." Each dish was explained in detail. The sushi set had 6 pieces of sushi which were small and easy to eat. The ingredients were delicious, and the vinegared rice was also tasty. The attention to detail in making the sushi was evident. The shrimp was fresh, and the tuna was flavorful. The egg had a unique taste. The squid was nicely sliced, and it didn't feel like a standard sushi topping. The side dishes, totaling 9, were also carefully prepared. The seasoned vegetables were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The pumpkin had a decorative cut and was well-cooked. The fresh spring rolls were delicious and crunchy. The steamed egg custard was simple yet tasty. The miso soup portion was a bit small. Initially, I thought it wouldn't be enough, but as I ate, I found it to be just right. I finished everything without stopping. The lunch was priced at 1,100 yen, which was a good deal considering the quality and variety of food. If I visit again, I would like to try their sushi as the main dish. The restaurant's COVID-19 measures were impressive, even though there were only 2 staff members. They had hand sanitizer at the entrance, partitions between the tables, and they made sure to ventilate the space when a new customer arrived. When I paid with 3,000 yen worth of GOTO EAT tickets and 300 yen in cash, they gave me coffee (or tea) tickets for the next visit. The lunch experience was very pleasant. They aim to keep the stay time around 30 minutes, depending on the serving time, and to have customers out within an hour if others are waiting.

I had 1.5 servings of sushi, haha. The menu was so extensive that I had a hard time deciding. There were tonkatsu, ginger pork, karaage, fish, curry, and more to choose from, so I was really torn. But in the end, I went with sushi, which came with 11 pieces and a roll. It was a satisfying meal with chawanmushi included. I'm happy. Thank you for the meal. I'll definitely come back, haha.

I'm in Sapporo. I came to this restaurant to celebrate my mother's birthday. It is located in the outskirts of Maeda, Teine-ku, so it's not easy to get here without a car. When my father asked if there was a place in Teine-ku where you could have a delicious lunch, I found this restaurant. Even though I live far from Sapporo, my parents seem to really like this place. They have become regulars and were chatting with the owner. For lunch on this day, we had the seasonal special meal for 1100 yen. The portion was generous, beautifully presented, and most importantly, delicious. It's great value for money! On our way out, we made a reservation for New Year's osechi. We will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

Located in Maeda 9-jo 9-chome, this restaurant is situated along my usual walking route by the riverbank. At the confluence of Nakagawa and Shingawa, there is a den of foxes where I always encounter a fox in the early morning. It's unsettling when they're not around. Despite these thoughts, hunger always becomes the main concern. Let's rejuvenate from the fatigue of walking! Oh, it's "Kawanaka." My wife and our neighbor come here for lunch once every two weeks. Being a housewife seems quite elegant! Haha. As usual, we ordered the 1.5-person sushi set for 961 yen. It was served promptly in just 10 minutes, with a total of 14 pieces. It also came with chawanmushi and miso soup, all for less than 1,000 yen. Not bad at all! Well, shall we dig in? Thank you for the meal! ^_^

You can enjoy a variety of dishes with the seasonal special meal. It is popular among women. Sushi at the back is also included in the set. Some items were the same as when I visited in the spring, but I guess they are classics. Each dish is carefully prepared. I will visit again.

Lunch visit. There are seats on the second floor as well, so it might be a good idea to make a reservation or stagger your visit times. I ordered the seasonal set meal, which also came with sushi. Each dish was carefully prepared and delicious!

Lunch on the second floor was very satisfying. I recognize this restaurant as the parents' famous Michelin-listed restaurant. It was wonderful.
