Sankatei is a popular yakiniku restaurant located away from the center of Sapporo, but I took a taxi from a hotel near Nakajima Park to eat there. Although there is a famous yakiniku restaurant in the city called "Tottri," and the menu photos at Sankatei also mention Tottri Foods, I thought they might be affiliated. However, it seems that they are different. "The taste of Tottri main store was created by the head chef, Mr. Mikoshi, who used to work at Sankatei, but ① Sankatei and Tottri main store are not affiliated or sister stores at all. ② There is no capital relationship between Tottri Foods and Tottri main store. ③ However, Sankatei and Tottri Foods are both led by Mr. Mikoshi and are part of the same group company." Source: Sankatei official website. Well, both are delicious yakiniku restaurants, so the capital relationship doesn't matter. We went for lunch, and I ordered a lunch set and two items from the regular menu. I had the selected white tongue, and my friend had the Kal-Sagami Mix Lunch, along with special Sagari and appetizers. The appetizer that came out first was fantastic. It had finely chopped red pepper on top, a unique presentation style, and it was delicious. The white tongue was juicy and had a unique texture, and it was delicious both before and after grilling. It was served with mustard, which was a new experience and added a different flavor. As for the Sagari, opinions may vary due to its leaner nature, but the meat and the dipping sauce were delicious, with a ponzu-based flavor that complemented the well-cooked meat. The restaurant was busy from the start, and although we didn't make a reservation, I recommend doing so for peace of mind. There were no parking issues, plenty of seats, and most importantly, the yakiniku was excellent. I have a blog called "Yakiniku Encyclopedia" where I document my visits to yakiniku restaurants all over Japan. If you want more information on other yakiniku restaurants or individual ratings, please check out my blog.

I wanted to eat meat for lunch, so I ended up diving into a delicious meal. I enjoyed some grilled beef tripe and intestines, along with hormone, namul, kimchi to prepare my stomach, and filled up with various meats and rice. It was the best lunch barbecue. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I left work early at 2pm for some errands. It was pouring rain outside, so I decided to stop by here for lunch along the way. This place is always crowded right after opening, but since it's 2:45pm now, there are only about 5 groups of customers. It's nice that they still accept lunch orders until 3pm. However, the prices have gone up quite a bit. I ordered the Sagari set lunch for 1430 yen, which used to be 990 yen four years ago. That's a 44% increase... Maybe the rising costs of feed and gas are affecting them. The set includes 6 pieces of Sagari, vegetables (bell peppers, shishito peppers, onions), rice, soup, salad, kakuteki, and a drink. The Sagari is still delicious as always. I don't like radishes, but I really enjoy the kakuteki here. The free option for extra rice is great. Next time, I might try a fancier menu. It's a hidden gem to come here during this time on weekdays. However, it's a bit unsettling how they keep coming to clear the plates one after another. It's so empty in here, they should let us eat a bit more leisurely.

☀️◼️ Sankatei Yukkejang Soup 935 yen Korean Pulgogi Lunch 1,100 yen Kal Saga MIX Lunch 2,090 yen Sankatei Special Lunch 2,475 yen My nephew ❤️ is a child who never leaves the house, hates eating out, and hates going out. But he loves his childhood friend ❤️ Kazu-niichan, so he wanted to go to lunch with him. I made a reservation at our favorite yakiniku restaurant nearby before my nephew's mind changed. Even though there is no all-you-can-drink option due to the pandemic, we still love Sankatei ❤️ It's a super popular restaurant and almost always full. Reservations are a must even for lunch. The interior is clean and has a nice touch of luxury. The staff are all very friendly. Lunch is cheap and the menu is extensive. It comes with rice, soup, kimchi, salad, and soft drinks. My nephew sat next to his childhood friend and they seemed to be having a great time chatting. His childhood friend has been a close presence since my nephew was little, so it's nice to see them together ❤️❤️❤️ Even though my nephew never wants to go anywhere, he will follow his childhood friend anywhere ❤️ It's funny, isn't it? ❤️❤️❤️❤️ We had a very satisfying yakiniku lunch. Thank you ❤️ Now, for the last day of summer vacation, it's time for some drinks at Escon ❤️ Off to Escon ❤️ Cheers! ❤️

The energetic and friendly staff were great. I visited during dinner time and ordered Sol-Lontan and Galbi soup. I got the special cuts of Wagyu beef Galbi and fully ripened premium beef tongue. I also had some beer and enjoyed a delicious meal of Korean BBQ. The beef tongue here is really tasty, but I prefer the more traditional lemon sauce over the plum sauce from other restaurants. It was my first time trying Sol-Lontan, and it was a delicious soup reminiscent of oxtail soup. Tottori-san always delivers with their soups! It was my first time visiting Sankatei in a while, and I was worried it would be crowded during the holiday season, but I was able to be seated right away since lunchtime had just ended. They were out of boiled tripe, but I was able to enjoy the raw tripe. I also got to try the beef tongue, so maybe visiting during this time was better than going at night!

Whenever I go back home, I always make sure to eat at Sankatei. Today, I had their special lunch and it was delicious! The marbled beef was so tender and flavorful, it practically melted in my mouth. It's a shame that my parents are getting older and we can only go together for lunch, but I definitely want to come back for dinner next time.

I visited "Sankatei" on July 29th for the second time. My last visit was on December 1st, 2015, so it had been a while. We went for lunch at 1:35 pm with three people in the car. The parking space was quite full, with only a few spots available... it seemed quite crowded. When we entered, they asked if we had a reservation. No, we didn't. When we asked about the wait time, they said it would be about 30 minutes. We gave them our phone number and waited in the car. Although they said the wait would be 30 minutes, we were called in after about 20 minutes. We were seated at table number 10. For lunch, we ordered the following items: - Special Sagari Lunch (with iced coffee) for 1980 yen - Stone Bibimbap Lunch (with Fanta Melon) for 990 yen - Original Morioka Cold Noodles Lunch (with iced coffee) for 1045 yen - Sapporo Classic Draft Beer (medium) for 638 yen Lunch menus come with a soft drink. Since my family likes cold noodles and bibimbap, we chose those dishes (laughs). When we placed our order, we also asked for water. The first item to be served was the Special Sagari Lunch. It included sauce, vegetable salad, and pickles. Then came the Sagari beef plate, with 4 pieces of meat, onions, and green peppers. There were purple flower petals attached, but those are not edible, right? The plate was lined with a bamboo leaf sheet. The bamboo leaf sheets used as plates are relatively expensive, costing around 30 yen each in stores. We ordered extra rice for free, and it was served on a plate, slightly softer than usual. The soup was served in a bowl, a Chinese-style seaweed soup with sliced onions and white sesame seeds sprinkled on top. The beef slices were from the diaphragm area. The portion size was unclear, but if ordered separately, the beef would cost 1760 yen, and with medium rice for 220 yen, the total would be 1980 yen. The drink, salad, and soup made it a good deal. We grilled the meat on a rotisserie, maybe a bit too much (laughs). The meat was juicy and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

A local barbecue restaurant operated by a well-established barbecue restaurant representing Sapporo! The quality of the meat is excellent, and the side menu is also delicious, making it a thriving restaurant. It's possible to squeeze in on weekdays, but reservations are essential on weekends. The staff are efficient and pleasant, creating a comfortable atmosphere. However, some may find the sauce a bit overwhelming, making it difficult to fully appreciate the taste of the meat. Despite being a local restaurant, they have an impressive selection of wines and champagnes, including high-end options like Dom Perignon and Opus One. With good value for money and high quality, it's a great choice for family gatherings, outings with friends, and even dates!

They also offer a great lunch deal on weekends, with half portions of cold noodles and stone-grilled bibimbap, along with salad, pickles, and a drink for only 1100 yen! It's a good deal with a generous amount of food, and I was happy to find watermelon in the cold noodles. The service is also good, although it can get crowded. Next time, I might ask for half the rice in the bibimbap to save some room. I left feeling satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

Stable deliciousness. This is my second visit. I made a reservation a week ago and visited. They quickly sear the upper white tongue. It's soft and tender. Next is the Wagyu upper kalbi. The fat is sweet and the taste is stable. Sliced Harami. Even though it's harami, it's tender. There are no disappointments with any menu at Sankatei. It's a bit far from downtown Sapporo, but I think it's worth a visit. Thank you for the meal today!

When it comes to delicious yakiniku in Sapporo, Tottri-san is always mentioned. Sankatei in Shiroishi-ku is a yakiniku restaurant in the Tottri group. It is a slightly high-end and pricey restaurant, but you can enjoy delicious meat at a reasonable price for lunch. I had the Sagari set meal for 1,650 yen including tax, with the option to change the soup to Yukgaejang soup for an additional 350 yen. You can choose between Sagari or Sagari Hormone for the meat. The Sagari was delicious, but the Hormone had a good amount of fat and was tasty. The quality of Hormone can vary greatly depending on the restaurant, but Sankatei has the best Hormone. The Yukgaejang soup was spicy and full of ingredients, very satisfying to eat. This is delicious!! I will definitely come back.

I've always wanted to try the lunch here...! *Selected White Beef Tongue Lunch Set (2090 yen) with rice, soup, salad, kimchi, and a drink. White tongue refers to the part of the tongue with marbling. It was so delicious!!! I highly recommend it to beef tongue lovers!! I heard it's always crowded, so I made a reservation and it was a great decision. Those who visited without a reservation were told to wait for an hour and a half (;´∀｀) Just as rumored, it's a high-quality lunch with great value for money ♬ I will make a reservation again and definitely come back!!

I used to eat cold noodles before, but this time I went for yakiniku. The meat itself is delicious, and the staff's customer service is great. Even though it's a popular and busy restaurant, they handle everything with a smile and efficiently. Watching them in action made the meat taste even better. This is a yakiniku restaurant that I highly recommend you visit.

After a long time, I enjoyed yakiniku at Sankatei. The premium beef tongue was thick yet tender, truly a top-notch dish. Today's highlight was the cut-off kalbi, with its sweet, melting fat that was delicious. The classic umaniku sagari and seafood chijimi were also reliably good choices. I repeated the cut-off kalbi and umaniku sagari, and finished off with salted hormone and cold noodles. No matter when you eat here, it's a reasonably priced and delicious restaurant.

This time, I had the Sagari lunch, haha. The Sagari lunch allows you to choose between all Sagari or half size, so you can enjoy two different flavors of Sagari and Hormone. I wanted to try both, so I ordered a half and half. Oh man, it was delicious, haha. Sagari is so good, I could eat it for the rest of my life, haha. The Hormone was also fresh and had a rich miso flavor that went well with rice, haha. It was delicious, haha. Thank you for the meal, haha. I will definitely come back again, haha.

On this day off, I arrived at Sankatei, where I had made a reservation for lunch (it was our second visit in a few years, as it is a popular restaurant, I recommend making a reservation before going). After a short wait inside the restaurant, we were seated (I was happy to see plenty of cold corn tea prepared for us). We ordered the Kal-Sagami Mix Lunch and the Upper Tongue Salt Lunch to share (I upgraded to Yukgaejang soup for an additional 350 yen and got a large rice set, we both ordered Oolong tea as our drink). First, we were served Kakuteki, salad, and sauce (Kakuteki was easy to eat and delicious, I passed the salad to my wife). There were two types of dressings. We were served Oolong tea and Yukgaejang soup (which was full of ingredients, moderately spicy, but packed with flavor and very delicious!). We had a large portion of rice with the lunch menu (default soup) (my wife also tried it and found it delicious!). Finally, the meat arrived! We had Upper Tongue Salt (which was incredibly delicious!) and Kalbi & Sagari (the Kalbi had just the right amount of marbling, not too fatty, and was tender, while the Sagari was also tender and very tasty!). We finished by dunking the rice in the Yukgaejang soup (it was absolutely fantastic!!). We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday lunch at Sankatei.

First visit. It's crowded as it was on TV, so I recommend coming by car. If coming from Sapporo Station, take a bus or a taxi from the nearest station, or walk. The store is spacious and clean, and it is a non-smoking establishment. There is a smoking area outside. The famous beef tongue is delicious, will definitely come back.

The daughters wanted to celebrate with yakiniku. We made a reservation the day before and were able to secure a spot for 7:30pm. We ordered a variety of meats, seafood pancake, kimchi set, rice, and beer. We wanted to try the Morioka cold noodles too, but unfortunately couldn't. Overall, the family was very satisfied and enjoyed the delicious meal. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Today was my first visit to this place! I had a business meeting with the president here, so I wanted to check it out before meeting him. I heard great things about this place from regular customers, so I had high expectations. The preparation of the meat here is amazing! It's not like other places that just cut and serve, you can really feel the care put into the seasoning, aging, and sauce. The menu is quite extensive, but the service is incredibly fast! I heard the president is very impatient, so the preparation work in advance allows for this speed. I want to come back next time to try more dishes while enjoying some drinks. Looking forward to my next visit!

I watched a TV program and immediately made a reservation on Tabelog for this restaurant. It's because I was planning a trip to Sapporo Snow Festival, which is being held for the first time in 3 years. The restaurant I reserved for is a yakiniku place. When I looked it up, I found out it was far from the station, but close to a bus stop. Since I was tired from walking at the snow festival, I decided to catch a taxi to get there. We were guided to a private room and ordered through a tablet without double-checking. I accidentally ordered 3 large rice bowls. I apologized to the waitress for the mistake. The Sankatei salad with sesame oil was refreshing and delicious. The Pgok soup was a seafood (especially cod) soup that was warming. It was my first time trying this kind of soup. We had beef tongue, skirt steak, beef heart, crooked hormone (forgot to take a photo, it's partially cooked so you can eat it even without grilling), seafood pancake (the portion was too big for one person, we barely finished it with three people), beef chuck flap, and although the amount was a bit small for a yakiniku place, the taste was satisfying. I particularly liked the beef tongue and beef heart. Since I drank too much last night, I finished the meal with Dewar's highball and freshly squeezed grapefruit sour. We decided to take the bus back and go see the snow festival's illumination. That's how we left the restaurant. Thank you for the meal.
