I wanted to go to a seafood izakaya in Hokkaido, and found this place. It seemed like a popular restaurant, so I made a reservation before visiting on a weekday. The interior was very calm and sophisticated, with an atmosphere that seemed suitable for dates or business entertainment. Surprisingly, the prices were quite reasonable for such an upscale-looking place. They had a mix of affordable dishes and some more expensive items. Among the dishes we ordered, the most delicious ones were the red snapper sashimi and the surf smelt sashimi! I was especially surprised to see surf smelt sashimi on the menu, as I had never seen it served as sashimi in Kansai before. When I tried it, it was soft and sweet! Actually, all the sashimi was generally "soft and sweet," which was different from what I had thought was good sashimi (firm texture). By the way, there were a couple of mistakes made by the staff this time, but the way they handled the situation was very polite and made me feel embarrassed. As an apology, they gave us a miso soup that was unbelievably delicious and left a strong impression on me. Lastly, we ordered salmon ochazuke as a finishing dish, and I was amazed! It came in a very large bowl with a whole piece of grilled salmon. The savory flavor of the grilled salmon blended into the ochazuke soup, and it became even more delicious as we ate and broke apart the salmon. I was truly satisfied with dining at this restaurant. I will definitely visit here again on my next trip to Sapporo.

The course was 10,000 yen with all-you-can-drink option. It included sashimi, grilled fish, simmered fish, crab, steak, and sushi. Each dish was delicious and there was nothing to complain about! The drink menu was also extensive. The atmosphere of the restaurant was elegant and luxurious, and the staff were very polite and smart. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I was taken by a customer to Hokkai Kaido, which offers a wide variety of Hokkai dishes. It was my first visit there. We reserved a private room and enjoyed the standard dishes from the Hokkai menu. It's a great izakaya that can be used for entertaining clients.

Anyway, the first impression is that this is a great place for business entertainment. The restaurant is mostly private rooms, and it was bustling with almost full reservations on the day. We ordered a sashimi assortment, which was served in a large lacquer bowl that was impressive! We also had surf clam, scallops, and meat, all of which were delicious. We enjoyed various types of sake as well. When it came time to pay, it was around 60,000 yen for four people. We must have eaten and drank a lot! (laughs)

I made a reservation in advance for sightseeing at the Sapporo Snow Festival from Fukuoka. It was truly appreciated that the restaurant had a beautiful private room with a calm and sophisticated atmosphere, while still being welcoming to children. The food was also surprisingly good value for money, in fact, it was quite affordable. Every dish was delicious. The only downside was that there was no explanation for the appetizer, and the food took a bit longer to be served. However, I would definitely want to visit this restaurant again when I go to Hokkaido. Thank you for the meal!

The restaurant is located on the 5th floor of a building right near the Toyosui Susukino Station exit 2. It's a high-class Japanese restaurant that I wouldn't typically go to, with individual private rooms and sunken kotatsu tables. Very calming. We started with appetizers and sashimi. The abalone was delicious! They kept serving us creative and tasty Japanese dishes one after another, and we were completely satisfied. We opted for the all-you-can-drink option, and the speed from ordering to serving was incredible. Amazing. Even the rice dish at the end was delicious.

I booked a private room for up to 8 people. The room was completely private, with comfortable seating, warm lighting, and a chic interior creating a calm atmosphere. The whole restaurant had a relaxed vibe. The course included half a snow crab per person for 7500 yen (with all-you-can-drink). Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of the crab. The all-you-can-drink option included various types of sake, which was a delight for sake lovers due to the variety available. The dishes included appetizers, sashimi, roast beef, crab (cut for easy eating), tempura, grated yam potage, crab miso soup, and sushi. The ingredients used were typically from Hokkaido, which would please visitors from outside the region. The food was satisfying for both locals and visitors. The staff were friendly and the service was excellent.

Located on the east side of Susukino, this seafood izakaya is closer to Toyohira Susukino Station. The restaurant is quite spacious with many private rooms, making it a great choice for entertaining clients or having business dinners, especially for guests from out of town. The counter also looks nice, making it suitable for dates as well. It had been a while since my last visit, but the service from the staff was consistently good. They offer a variety of sake, with a focus on Japanese sake. I recommend enjoying the seafood dishes here. You might find that the quality of the food is higher with the course meals.

Sapporo business trip. For the first night's dinner, we went to "Hokkai Sakana Kaido." This restaurant was chosen by M-kun for its concept of serving seafood dishes with a Hokkaido flair. We started with a toast! Since we're in Sapporo, we had to go with the classic Sapporo beer for the toast. Why does Sapporo beer taste so good here in Hokkaido...? Now, onto ordering our food. Of course, we couldn't miss out on the sashimi. We ordered a platter with a variety of fish including octopus, herring, black rockfish, salmon, scallops, whelk, tuna, sweet shrimp, and more. It's quite a lineup of Hokkaido specialties that we don't often get to enjoy in Shikoku, so we're thrilled. And it's all so fresh and delicious. The unique textures and flavors of the black rockfish and octopus are a delight. It's been so long since I've had something like this. It really hits home that we're in Hokkaido. We also enjoyed dishes like marinated herring with green onion miso, dried Atka mackerel, and Zangi. We thoroughly enjoyed the flavors of Hokkaido. And of course, the alcohol kept flowing (laughs). The seared beef fillet with grated ponzu sauce (I forgot to ask if it was from Hokkaido) was also tender and delicious. The beautiful private room and great atmosphere added to the experience. The staff were efficient and provided excellent service. It was a very pleasant dining experience. We got to enjoy Hokkaido right from the first day. Now, what should we eat tomorrow? But first, we need to decide on tonight's ramen spot...laughs.

I came to Hokkaido to enjoy food and drinks. I started with sashimi. Everything I ate was delicious, but the herring sashimi was incredibly tasty! I tried the shochu with roasted green tea that I learned during a one-month business trip to Sapporo 30 years ago. The night flew by as the bottle quickly emptied.

It was a dinner with 4 people on a regular night. The restaurant had a slightly dim lighting and chic interior, giving it a stylish izakaya vibe. We had made a reservation for a private room with a spacious setting. Tonight, we will be enjoying a course with all-you-can-drink option. Although I didn't pay, I assume it was around 5000 yen per person. The selection of sake for the all-you-can-drink included local Hokkaido sake, which was satisfying. We started with a toast with draft beer! The menu included mini tomato pickles, grilled fish with grated radish, simmered yellowtail, sashimi platter with tuna, salmon, scallop, and sweet shrimp, black pepper grilled pork, lotus root and shrimp tempura, chicken and burdock roll, shumai with soy sauce, and rice wrapped in seaweed with chicken. The dishes were decent, with highlights being the pickled mini tomatoes and the chicken and burdock roll. The real winner was the variety of Hokkaido sake available for the all-you-can-drink option. Thank you for the feast!

When I arrived in Sapporo during my 2-night, 3-day trip to Hokkaido, I checked into the hotel and then went out for dinner. I went to Hokkaido Sakai, which is located on the 5th floor of a building just a short walk from Susukino Station. I was guided to a spacious private table seat that had become a private room. The restaurant had a clean and calm atmosphere. I ordered drinks, and noticed that the Taketsuru highball was quite affordable. There were also many brands of shochu and sake available. I ordered a Taketsuru highball and a Sapporo Classic draft beer for a toast. Then, I started ordering food. I first ordered the Hokkaido platter of sashimi for 2,500 yen. It was a large platter with a variety of sashimi such as bluefin tuna, red snapper, salmon, yellowtail, sweet shrimp, as well as Ezo abalone, scallops, and surf clams. It was beautifully arranged and came with both Japanese horseradish and Western wasabi. The sashimi was delicious, and the Taketsuru highball was also good. When my glass was empty, I ordered another Taketsuru highball. I also ordered a tempura platter, which was also very generous in portion. The tempura had a crispy coating and was delicious, especially when eaten with salt. I then ordered sake and tried the Fukushi junmai sake from Hokkaido, which had a good balance of dryness. I also tried the Kunimare Hokkai Onikoroshi, which was sharp and dry. I ordered a grilled saury for 600 yen, and was surprised by the size and juiciness of the fish. It was delicious. Overall, the food was generous in portion and satisfying. The restaurant was clean and the table seats were spacious, allowing me to enjoy my meal at a leisurely pace. The staff were also friendly and provided good service.

The atmosphere inside the restaurant was very clean and a bit intimidating at first, but they were considerate of elderly people with weak legs and the staff were very polite, which made me feel at ease from the beginning. You can eat in a private room and it is very relaxing. There are many menu items that you can't taste in Hyogo, and I ended up ordering too much and had to take the croquettes home. They kindly agreed to that. But those croquettes were amazing!! First of all, they were huge! And they were filled with whole shrimp and crab, yet they were delicious and I couldn't get enough. Are you sure this is only 800 yen? I was amazed. I wish I had eaten them freshly fried! I thought I should come back with a bigger appetite next time. Thank you for the meal.

Arrived before 6 pm on Friday. Used for a company banquet of about 40 people. Located on the 5th floor of a building just to the left at the back of Susukino Station Exit 1 of the subway, crossing one signal. The interior of the restaurant is slightly dimmed with a sense of luxury. The staff's service is good. This time, it seems to be the "5000 yen course". The all-you-can-drink options include bottles of Ebisu and Classic beer. That's enough for me, but they also have a good selection of sake and shochu. The food consisted of: - Appetizers: Three-point assortment of dried daikon, grated daikon with salmon skin, and potato & corn salad. - Sashimi: Bluefin tuna, salmon, sweet shrimp, scallop (2 pieces each except for sweet shrimp). It's a bit small but delicious! - Grilled dish: Root vegetable tsukune, large and filled with plenty of burdock, with a good texture and delicious taste! - Fried dish: Two pieces of cherry shrimp tempura, very fragrant and delicious! - Seasonal dish: Grilled mackerel, cold. It would be better warm. - Hot dish: Bamboo shoot and sweet potato tempura with rock seaweed sauce, also with a good texture and delicious taste. - Small dish: Okra and nagaimo in Tosazu jelly, cold and sour. Some people didn't like it. - Main dish: Clam rice, fluffy and slightly sweet! Some people found it a bit too sweet. Overall, the food was satisfyingly delicious with a lot of creative dishes, and they were all pretty tasty. Not very Hokkaido-like, so maybe not for tourists. The dishes were served consistently for about 40 minutes after the start, and I ended up quite full. However, it was a bit disappointing that there were no dishes served after that, apart from drinks. I would have liked at least some dessert at the end. Next time, I would like to try enjoying the dishes individually.

I attended a year-end party at a company. The course was predetermined, so I just ate what was served. It was nice that there were many types of shochu. It was fun. The best dish was the simmered kinki fish. Whether you get the head or tail of the fish is luck. I got the head, so it was delicious with a lot of fat. The fillet steak was okay. I also had sashimi and sushi, and the seafood dishes were better. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, so next time I would like to order freely instead of choosing a course menu.

This is a review of a restaurant located in Susukino, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. I was invited for a meal by a partner from Tokyo on this day. The restaurant has a luxurious atmosphere and spacious tatami seating, which is perfect for such business dinners. We started with a toast with beer to celebrate our reunion. The course meal included: appetizers, sashimi, cold amberjack shabu-shabu, deep-fried small pufferfish and mushrooms, Amari pepper simmered local chicken, steamed thick-necked clams from Akkeshi, nanohana mustard salad, and chicken and burdock meatball udon. The sashimi platter consisted of shrimp, tuna, salmon, and scallops, all fresh and elegantly arranged. The cold amberjack shabu-shabu was flavorful with a good balance of fat and ponzu sauce. The deep-fried small pufferfish was tender and lightly seasoned. The meal continued with various dishes being served one after another, keeping us busy eating. The fact that the meal ended with udon instead of rice was a nice touch. I switched to sake from my second drink onwards and was pleasantly surprised by the variety of options available for all-you-can-drink. Although the service felt a bit rushed at times, overall, it was a great place to enjoy delicious food and good drinks.

I reserved a private room for a work meeting and ordered a course menu. The atmosphere was great and it helped the conversation flow smoothly. The staff were very attentive and I didn't feel stressed at all. The customers were also calm, and I was able to enjoy my meal quietly. The only thing I would mention is that the food was served quickly, which made me feel a bit rushed. I would have liked to eat at a more leisurely pace. However, all the dishes were delicious.

We used it with 2 people. A private room was prepared for us. The counter seats were modern, and the private room had a retro feel, but it was comfortable and we could relax slowly. The staff's response was polite, and we were satisfied with the food, enjoying Hokkaido seafood.

I wanted to eat seafood during my trip to Hokkaido, so I chose a restaurant with same-day reservations. From the reviews, it seems like a popular spot for local group tours, but due to the impact of COVID-19, there weren't as many customers this time, allowing us to enjoy a leisurely meal. It was visible that they had reduced the number of staff in the kitchen and on the floor to the limit, and everyone seemed very busy, but the service was polite, which left a good impression. For travelers from other prefectures, the seafood was surprisingly high quality and priced, with the recommended item being the assorted sashimi platter, the Hokkaido platter, which was generous in portion. The contents are usually chef's choice, but this time it was rich in shellfish. The freshness was excellent, with a crunchy texture that went well with sake. They also served both regular and local white mountain wasabi, which was a nice touch. The pressed sushi with salmon and salmon roe was also a classic, with the overflowing salmon roe being a luxurious touch. The taraba crab sashimi was pricey, but the large, exquisite meat made it worth it. The selection of local sake was good, and we tried the nigori from "Chitose Tsuru," "Susukino," and the nama-zume (cold and warm comparison) from "Otoko-yama" this time, leaving an impression that Hokkaido sake has become even more delicious than before. With the return of foreign travelers expected to make it harder for casual tourists to drop by, now is a great time to visit this restaurant while the impact of the COVID-19 shock is still affecting foot traffic.

I chose this restaurant for dinner in Sapporo during my trip to Hokkaido because it seemed good on the internet. It was quite popular and even recommended for entertaining guests, so I had high expectations when I made a reservation. The restaurant is located in a mixed-use building in an izakaya style. The interior was clean and the staff were friendly. It was a weekday night, but since it was before 6 pm, it was not crowded. We ordered shishamo, tsubugai sashimi, zangi, dashimaki tamago, shrimp and potato and crab cream croquette, among other dishes. I thought the prices were low, so the portions wouldn't be that big, but I was wrong. Everything had large portions! The zangi was piled high, and the dashimaki tamago was made with so many eggs. The highlight was the croquette. It was about 20 centimeters long and had a shrimp fry attached to it... I had imagined a crab cream croquette with shrimp inside, but it was completely different. Maybe because it had sweet potatoes, the texture was chewy and sticky. There was no crab flavor. And to top it off, this croquette came out last. It made me think, in a mischievous way, that maybe they save it for last so that customers might cancel their other orders if it came out first (laughs). The dashimaki tamago had no dashi flavor. The zangi was greasy and not tasty. I wanted to eat something delicious in Hokkaido, but unfortunately, it turned out to be a disappointing dinner. The prices were cheap though.

I went to this restaurant through a friend's reservation. The interior is divided into spacious private rooms, allowing for a relaxing atmosphere. We started with Sapporo Classic beer, followed by delicious dishes like herring sashimi and sake. However, I was a bit disappointed that they were out of shirako (cod milt) and forgot a few orders. Overall, it's a good place for a casual drinking party in the heart of Susukino, where you don't need to worry too much about the details.
