Lunch at "Danryu" Kitahachi-jo Store ☑️ Pork Kakuni Stone Pot Fried Rice - ¥946 I visited "Danryu" Kitahachi-jo Store for the first time for lunch. I was able to be seated right away, maybe because it's not too crowded. They only had a la carte menu available that day, as the lunch menu was not offered. I usually go to the Atsubetsu store, but I finally had the chance to try this one out since it's closer to where I usually am. I was specifically looking forward to trying the Pork Kakuni Stone Pot Fried Rice. The stone pot arrived sizzling hot with a delicious sauce underneath the rice. The generous portion of tender pork kakuni, topped with white negi and spinach, was flavorful and not too salty. The service was friendly and attentive, which left a good impression on me. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal! 🍚🍲

Ebi Shioan Kake Gohan (Half) for 600 yen at Sapporo Station North Exit El Plaza B1F. It's reliably delicious at Danryu-san, with a normal yet unique taste. It's not crowded on weekends, making it a good option for lunch. The menu only offers individual items, mainly consisting of carbs to fill you up. You won't even find beer here. I love the Ebi Shioan Kake, with three options to choose from. I recommend getting the half size, which is satisfying with its transparent and well-seasoned sauce, plump shrimp, and plenty of crunchy vegetables and wood ear mushrooms. The rice portion is about 150g, enough to fill you up even in half size. The price is reasonable, even for individual items. The daily bento is also affordable at 600 yen. It's a great place for casual dining. Thank you for the meal.

On my personal day off on Monday, I start the day with a Strong Zero for hydration (laughs). Well, after the Bon festival is over, even in Sapporo where you can feel the chill at night with the windows wide open, I still wake up feeling thirsty... (laughs) But I'll just stick to one tall can this time, so I don't make the mistake of drinking too much and napping too much like a few days ago. Now, what should I have for lunch? I search various places near the station on Google Maps. And, to my surprise, I found a restaurant located within a 3-minute walk from the north exit of JR Sapporo Station (laughs). I didn't know... Back in the day, there was a delicious Chinese restaurant called "Ooka" along Sapporo Shindo in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, and I used to go there quite often. That "Ooka" turned into "Nanchu" at some point, and then the operating company of "Nanchu" went bankrupt, with some of the stores changing to "Nanryu"... I think (laughs). I used to visit the "Nanchu" in Hachiken quite frequently. That place used to be Nanchu, a Japanese restaurant, an izakaya, and... well, now it's a 7-Eleven. I remember that the parking lot was where the store was located, but only locals would know that (laughs). When I arrived, it was just a little past 11 am, the opening time. There were only two customers in the spacious store. I was asked to disinfect my hands and fingers with alcohol by the waitress, so I did, and then I was seated at the counter. I took a look at the lunch menu. The daily special lunch on Monday, "Stir-Fried Pork and Egg with Chili Sauce," and the ramen lunch with "Chicken Salt Anka Ramen and Gomoku Chahan" were both tempting... I hesitated a bit, but decided on the "Yakisoba Lunch (tax included 968 yen)." I chose rice instead of steamed buns. I chose oolong tea as my soft drink. The waitress asked me, "Would you like your drink before or after your meal?" I said, "All together is fine." Then she said, "You can only choose before or after the meal"... ?? What kind of rule is that? Well, let's wait while drinking cold water... and then it arrived in 4 minutes. That was fast (laughs). The yakisoba with a lot of sauce on a large plate looked a bit lonely, and the amount of sauce seemed excessive. Is this soy sauce-based instead of oyster sauce? Was it just my imagination that I only felt shredded cabbage in the salad? The Chinese soup had a mild flavor. Overall, it was neither good nor bad. I used to eat here often, but... As expected of a restaurant in a complex building, even though it was before noon, group after group of customers started coming in. And they were all middle-aged men in white shirts with ID cards hanging from their necks (laughs). Oh, and even though they brought oolong tea, they didn't bring the bill (they didn't put it in the bill binder). So when I went to pay, they asked, "Didn't you have a binder?" It's quite a tricky rule (laughs). Well, it's not a place I dislike, and the access from Sapporo Station is good, so I might drop by to eat occasionally. Thank you for the meal.

I visited for lunch. It used to be a soba noodle restaurant, but it had changed without me noticing. I was torn between the ankake yakisoba and the daily special, but I decided to go with the daily special. That day it was pork and cabbage stir-fry. The rice portion was a bit small for the main dish, but it was just right. In addition to the main dish, the meal came with salad, mapo tofu, and egg soup. The overall flavor was strong and salty, but it seemed to be well-balanced with the rice. I haven't tried other menu items yet, so I'll order something different next time.

I entered the shop without realizing when it had opened. It had been quite a while since I last visited this place. We ordered about 7-8 dishes of alcohol and food for two people, and it didn't even reach 6000 yen. We ordered dishes such as crab fried rice, shrimp mayonnaise, pork shabu salad, duck roast, and spicy dumplings. The fried rice was quite voluminous even though it was a half-size portion. All the dishes were delicious. Among them, the duck eaten with thinly sliced lemon was a first for me and it was refreshing. Delicious! The restaurant was spacious, and I would like to visit again.

JR Sapporo Station and Sapporo Municipal Subway Nanboku Line's Sapporo Station are the nearest stations. The restaurant is located on the underground first floor of El Plaza, a public facility directly connected to the underground shopping area. After entering the entrance and disinfecting with alcohol, I was guided to an available seat. I went during lunchtime, so there was a lunch menu available. The lunch menu is divided into two categories: daily specials and ramen lunch. I ordered the daily special "Pork and Potato Black Pepper Stir-Fry." It was brought to me in about 10 minutes. In addition to the main dish, it came with a side dish. Today's side dish was mapo tofu vermicelli, which had a strong flavor that complemented the main dish well. The main dish of pork and potato black pepper stir-fry had plenty of pork. The pork and potato were well infused with flavor, making it delicious with rice. It was quite filling, and my stomach was satisfied. "Pork and Potato Black Pepper Stir-Fry" costs 858 yen including tax. I would like to visit during dinner time next time.

Sapporo Station North Exit. A restaurant called "Danyu" has opened in the basement of the El Plaza Building. At noon, customers line up in the underground passage. I bought the daily bento box. Danyu is known for its crab meat fried rice, but for now, I am settling for takeout. Today's daily bento box is spicy oyster stir-fry with chicken and mushrooms. Those who buy the bento box can get a free egg soup to take home. It was a delicious bento box. If I may make a suggestion, I wish they could heat it up in the microwave. Bento boxes taste better when warm. The egg soup was piping hot.

When it gets hot, my symptoms worsen, and it is a designated rare disease by the government. There is still no cure for my rare disease. Administering "blood products" for 5 consecutive days temporarily improves symptoms, but there must be a few weeks interval until the next administration. Also, after receiving "blood products," vaccination with vaccines like Corona is not allowed for a month. Last year, I was hospitalized 5 times for rare disease treatment. I had my first hospitalization of 2022 in January and was discharged safely 32 days ago. Your supportive comments are always a source of energy for me during hospitalization. I am sincerely grateful. In the future, I plan to mainly upload past reviews that have not been reviewed yet. I will limit new visits based on my health condition. "Danyu" is a chain of Chinese restaurants with its main store in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. There are 14 stores in Hokkaido, with 6 stores in Aeon. It is a fairly authentic chain of Chinese restaurants. "Danyu Kitahachijo Store" opened on March 10, 2022. Previously, there was a soba restaurant in the same space as the "Danyu" series, "Yamawasabi Kitahachijo Store." I visited for the first time for lunch with my usual companion. This store is located in the JR Sapporo Station North Exit area in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, on the basement 1st floor of the commercial building of "Sapporo El Plaza." Please check the exact location on Tabelog. It was a visit before 11 am on a weekday. We were the first customers to enter. The store has counter seats and table seats. We were guided to a table seat. We both ordered the cost-effective "Gomokuan kakeyakisoba lunch set for 968 yen" (laughs). I chose "Ginger Ale" as the set drink, and my usual companion chose "Oolong Tea." We chose "rice" over "steamed bread." After waiting for 11 minutes, our "lunch sets" arrived. ■ Gomokuan kakeyakisoba lunch set Gomokuan kakeyakisoba with a taste that doesn't disappoint. The hot sauce with plenty of sauce and fried noodles is delightful. The ingredients include squid, wood ear mushrooms, bamboo shoots, greens, carrots, pork, Chinese cabbage, etc. A simple salad often seen in lunch sets. The salad bowl is properly chilled. The ingredients include shredded cabbage, carrots, dressing. Choice of steamed bread or rice. Soup is egg soup with thickening. Drinks include coffee, melon soda, ginger ale, etc. Oolong tea, etc. Price: 968 yen (tax included) The "Gomokuan kakeyakisoba lunch set" is a satisfying lunch set with a sense of value. It is a fulfilling lunch set. The "Gomokuan kakeyakisoba" also has a proper volume and is a satisfying lunch. You can choose between "rice" and "steamed bread." It comes with "soup" and a mini "salad." Additionally, a drink is included in the set, which is a nice service for lunch. It's a convenient lunch where you get change from a 1,000 yen bill. Next time, I might go for that cost-effective "lunch set" again. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Lunch visit. Visited alone. Impressions: - Located in the El Plaza underground directly connected to Sapporo Station. - Sat at the counter seat. - Ordered the daily ramen lunch special. - Five-ingredient thick sauce ramen, cherry shrimp fried rice, and chicken karaage. - It was delicious.

I came to a building called El Plaza near Sapporo Station North Exit. I visit this building a few times a year for various reasons, and I noticed that a shop that used to be here has now become Kandoryu. They offer takeout, so I decided to order some dishes to add to my dinner. On this day, I chose the following menu items: - Stir-fried Hormone from a Chinese restaurant (580 yen) - Shrimp in Chili Sauce (half size, 500 yen) - Yakisoba with Five-ingredient Stir-fry (half size, 500 yen) The dishes were ready in about 10 minutes. The prices are reasonable, and the staff is nice. I took the food home, reheated it, and it was delicious with a good amount of food. I am very satisfied with the taste and cost performance, so I will definitely use this place again. Thank you for the meal!

I tried using Demae-kan for dinner after finding this restaurant listed on their site. As it is a Chinese chain, there were many options for Chinese delivery menus, but this time I ordered the "Miso Stir-Fried Pork and Cabbage (1,130 yen)", "Sichuan Stone Pot Mapo Tofu (1,230 yen)", and "Utsunomiya Direct Grilled Gyoza (500 yen)". The food was delivered in about 30 minutes, and it arrived piping hot, tasting just as delicious as eating in the restaurant. Adding the delivery fee, the total cost may be a bit high, but I think it's great for when you want to have Chinese food delivered.

I used it for the first time. I added a drink all-you-can-drink premium malt beer for ¥1,500 to a course of 6 items for ¥2,000. The 6 items were enough to satisfy an adult's stomach. Of course, the taste was also great. The mapo tofu was so authentic that you have to be careful not to choke on the spiciness. This is definitely a place worth revisiting.
