I went to Nandaman kitchen and had their okonomiyaki! Since it's from Nandaman, I imagined a more sophisticated version of okonomiyaki! When I tried it, it was truly elegant! The sauce wasn't overpowering, and it paired well with the mayonnaise. The bonito flakes on top were beautiful. There were bits of sakura shrimp scattered throughout, giving a taste of spring. The batter was moist and easy to eat. There was a hint of pork in it too! It had a lovely aroma! I had it cold this time, but I bet it would be even more delicious warm. If I have the chance, I would definitely buy it again. Thank you for the meal! ★

The assortment of deli dishes in the showcase is overwhelmingly attractive! Oh, it looks delicious. The dishes from Namadan have high expectations. Yes, it was delicious! However, it was a bit too flavorful for me! I liked the sesame tofu and fried food. But, I still prefer to enjoy them at the restaurant. Thank you for the meal ★

I went out to the town with my wife! My wife said, "I don't feel like cooking dinner tonight." So I asked if she wanted to eat something out, but she said she was tired and wanted to eat at home. So, I suggested buying some ready-made dishes. We ended up getting two sets of the popular No.2 assorted dishes from Nada-Man for 626 yen each. The dishes were delicious as expected from Nada-Man, with a light and healthy flavor. It seems like we often buy their dishes, but they never disappoint. Itadakimasu! We'll definitely be back again.

2019/3 First Visit to My Home Easy Cooking Series Daimaru Sapporo Edition "Nadaman Kitchen Mitsukoshi Sapporo" was reviewed in our easy cooking series (Mitsukoshi edition). This time, due to my family's schedule, it's "Daimaru Sapporo". It's a collection of Japanese-style side dishes. It seems that Daimaru Sapporo also offers bento boxes. These kinds of assorted side dishes tend to feel like catering for ceremonies. At Mitsukoshi Sapporo, it was more like individual dishes such as "Simmered Taro and Eggplant with Minced Chicken", which became a part of our easy cooking series, but here it seems more like a bento box for takeout. It all depends on how you use the department store basement side dishes.

I had a delicious meal at the restaurant with a menu that included a starter, pumpkin tofu, steamed yuba, chawanmushi, and dessert of yuzu sherbet.

The bento box in September 2019 was delicious and satisfying.

Today's lunch was at Nadaman in Daimaru. We ordered the "Aji Goyomi" set which included an appetizer, tempura, soba, maguro donburi, and dessert. The cost performance was very good! I went with my boss and another colleague. I would like to visit again with them ☺︎

Nadaman in Sapporo has a Japanese restaurant on the top floor of Daimaru, and a delicatessen on the lower floor. The Park Hotel has a high-class Japanese restaurant. The corn soup was okay, but the French restaurant felt more like a cafe. The warm egg noodle dish was too sweet and rich, with a jellied texture. Adding a soft-boiled egg helped balance it out. The assorted deli dishes were good, but a bit pricey compared to supermarket deli options. The rolled cabbage in lobster soup was a pleasant surprise and the best dish of the meal. Overall, the restaurant seemed to cater more to a mainstream audience, but the quality was decent.

In the evening, after finishing work and rushing around, I went shopping at Daimaru and bought the "Nadamachi Kitchen" items... I purchased the "Assorted Side Dishes" and the "Warm Egg and Somen Noodles" dishes. When I got home, the "Assorted Side Dishes" included items like simmered white fish, sweet and savory simmered bamboo shoots and kelp, rolled omelette, sesame tofu, corn potato salad, various simmered items like fish cakes, pumpkin, and tofu, kelp rolls, sautéed komatsuna and scallops, chicken breast and kelp salad, sweet and savory chicken meatballs, and simmered dried daikon radish. While the simmered items, boiled fish, and rolled omelette were okay, the dried daikon radish and dishes with sweet and savory sauce were quite flavorful... They might be good as rice side dishes or snacks with alcohol, but overall, they seemed to lack the delicacy of Japanese cuisine. The only items I found good were the simmered items and sesame tofu. As for the "Warm Egg and Somen Noodles," it was served with spinach, shiitake mushrooms, and shrimp on top of somen noodles with a warm egg. The noodle soup was set like a jelly. It can be eaten warm or cold, and I had it cold... Honestly, I wondered if this was the true taste of "Nadamachi." The jelly had a strong flavor and the somen noodles were sticky and cut unevenly. Heating it up might melt the jelly, but the texture of the noodles would remain the same. I feel like the quality and taste used to be better before... The idea and presentation are commendable, though. It may not all be supervised by Nakamura Komei anymore, but the name of "The Iron Chef of Japanese Cuisine" is weeping.

I went shopping in downtown Sapporo with my wife! My wife said, "I don't feel like preparing dinner tonight, so let's buy something." I don't mind buying something occasionally, but since she doesn't come home often, I wish she would cook something instead. Without being able to say that, I just replied, "Okay!" We looked around the food section at Daimaru and ended up buying a "sampler box" for 1296 yen from Nadamachi. My wife said, "I already cooked rice," so I guess we'll just heat up the leftovers from this morning. Back home, we had dinner. I lightly heated up the ham (with potato salad underneath) and set aside the sesame tofu with sea urchin for my wife (I don't like sea urchin). Let's dig in! Hmm... it's just regular deli food, like the side dishes from a "high-class bento box" that we occasionally have. The seasoning is refined, but it's just like a normal deli. It was a delicious meal. Tomorrow, please cook something!

In February 2018, I purchased two sets of assorted side dishes from Nidam Sapporo at Daimaru Sapporo store. Each set contains a variety of items such as simmered vegetables, grilled fish, rolled omelette, stewed dishes, fried foods, and sesame tofu. It was a great assortment to enjoy different flavors, perfect as a snack with drinks or as a side dish with rice. I enjoyed them all very much. Thank you for the delicious meal.

You can buy the taste of the high-class restaurant "Nadaman" on the basement floor. Today, my husband is going to a drinking party, so I will have dinner alone... I could go out for a drink, but I want to relax at home... I want to have a luxurious meal once in a while... Alright, let's go to Daimaru! So, I purchased the limited-time Hanami set meal "Haruurara". It is a two-tiered set with chirashi sushi, bamboo shoot rice, and a variety of side dishes including grilled salmon with miso, smoked duck, thick rolled omelette, pickled radish with cherry blossoms, grilled chicken meatballs, and bracken rice cakes, etc... It is quite luxurious. The content is colorful and suitable for spring. It's nice to indulge in such luxury once in a while.

In December 2016, I purchased two bento boxes as souvenirs (totaling 1,728 yen including tax). I remembered seeing a detailed review by the reviewer "MenMen61" of the bento boxes at Hankyu Department Store Umeda Main Store, so I went to check them out again. The contents were exactly the same as described in the review. The duck roast, grilled fish, and simmered dishes were delicious, but I found the fried food a bit heavy. The bento boxes were packed full of side dishes, and they were well-made and tasty, providing a sense of reliability. Thank you for the meal. In October 2014, I participated in a bus tour where lunch was provided in the form of bento boxes to be eaten on the bus. Instead of ordering through the tour reservation, I purchased a bento box from "Nadaman" at Daimaru Department Store in advance. I have occasionally enjoyed these bento boxes, and I find them very delicious. Although they are a bit pricey, they include a variety of ingredients such as fish, meat, and vegetables prepared in different cooking methods like frying, simmering, mixing, and grilling. Each dish had a unique flavor, making it a satisfying bento box. Thank you for the meal.

No, as expected, Nadaman's dishes were all delicious and did not seem like a department store restaurant at all. However, the restaurant was too crowded, and at times the staff brought out dishes and drinks too quickly, making us feel rushed.

This is the Depachika (department store basement) of Daimaru Sapporo. I happened to notice and purchase the simmered pork cheek for 630 yen (including tax). When I microwaved it and tried it, the meat was so tender! It melted in my mouth! At first, I thought there were only 3 pieces of meat and a lot of potatoes, but once it was piping hot, it was just right. Truly lives up to its name. The taste is like a light version of beef stew, but with pork. It's a Japanese-style side dish that goes well with bread or rice. Thank you for the delicious meal! (^^)

Located inside the Daimaru department store adjacent to JR Sapporo Station, "Nadaman Kitchen" is a shop that sells side dishes and bento boxes. It is a branch of the well-known Japanese cuisine restaurant "Nadaman." During a recent visit to Sapporo, I decided to try their various packaged side dishes to bring a taste of luxury to my home. Each dish had the refined flavors typical of Kyoto cuisine, with a strong umami from the broth yet delicately seasoned. My wife was also pleased with the purchase. She particularly enjoyed the dish with taro topped with sweet bean paste. Although the portions are small due to the elegant packaging, I believe the prices are reasonable for the opportunity to enhance home cooking with such high-quality flavors. Next time, I plan to try their saury grilled with miso.

Speaking of Nadaman, it is a high-end traditional Japanese restaurant. This one is located in the basement of Daimaru department store. There is also one in the Marui department store basement, which is more of a bento shop. Additionally, there is one on the upper floors of Park Hotel Sapporo. I have been there once and the view was amazing! The basement of Daimaru is always crowded throughout the day. This time, I tried their side dishes. They are known for their side dishes that still taste good even when they are cold. In addition to the classic bento with 9 varieties, they also offer a monthly changing bento. This time, I tried the monthly special bento which had mushrooms, chestnuts, salmon roe, and pumpkin shaped like maple leaves - very autumnal. The prices are a bit high as it is a high-end restaurant, around 1500 yen. The flavors are subtle but delicious. Thank you for the feast!

◆◆◆◆◆◆ [Second Post] ◆◆◆◆◆◆ [November 2013] The first snowfall finally arrived in Sapporo. When I woke up in the morning, there were a few centimeters of snow on the ground. During the day, the temperature rose above freezing, causing the snow on the roads to melt. It's the season when you crave warm food. This time, I had the "Beef Stew with Plenty of Cheek Meat in Japanese Style" again. I transferred it to a pot this time and heated it thoroughly. ■ Beef Stew with Plenty of Cheek Meat in Japanese Style Weight: Actual measurement 420g The ingredients are the same as last time. Price: 595 yen Heating it in a pot made the whole stew piping hot. It became quite watery. I could taste the Japanese flavor more strongly. As a result, the taste of demi-glace sauce was more subtle. When it cools down, the taste of demi-glace becomes stronger and more velvety. It's enjoyable to taste it according to personal preferences. ◆◆◆◆◆◆ [First Post] ◆◆◆◆◆◆ Established in 1830, "Nadaman" is a takeout restaurant. The takeout is top-notch ♪ [February 2012] Nadaman, founded in 1830. Nadaman's takeout specialty store is Nadaman Kitchen. It is available in over 30 famous department stores nationwide. In Hokkaido, there are only two stores in Sapporo: Daimaru Sapporo and Mitsukoshi Sapporo. This store is located in Hoppetown on the first basement floor directly connected to JR Sapporo Station in Sapporo's Chuo Ward. Please check the exact location of the store on Tabelog. Nadaman's restaurant in Hokkaido is only Nadaman Gadens at Sapporo Park Hotel. The taste is truly top-notch. Compared to Nadaman Gadens, the taste at Nadaman Kitchen is lower, but that's understandable. It's impossible to handle large quantities like in a restaurant when selling in department stores. However, the base of the dishes is different. Compared to other takeout stores, it is significantly more delicious. I think Nadaman Kitchen's takeout is several levels above typical Japanese restaurants. The taste level is completely different. On this day, I bought the "Beef Stew with Plenty of Cheek Meat in Japanese Style." ■ Beef Stew with Plenty of Cheek Meat in Japanese Style The beef stew is made with a gentle Japanese-style broth. It contains a fair amount of beef cheek meat. The ingredients include green asparagus, daikon radish, carrots, cabbage, mushrooms, etc. It has been simmered for a takeout dish. This flavor is difficult to achieve at home. It can be microwaved in the container. Approximately 600 yen for a reasonably priced high-quality Japanese-style beef stew. Nadaman Kitchen offers consistently high-quality takeout. The store's display in the department store does not include "Kitchen." The staff's apron at the store shows the words "Nadaman Kitchen." Indeed, it feels more delicious to hear "Nadaman" rather than "Nadaman Kitchen." The Japanese-style pot-au-feu also looks delicious. It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

I went to "Nadaman Kitchen Daimaru Sapporo Store" (o^∇^o)ﾉ for dinner after enjoying a live performance. I had a luxurious bento box in my room while still feeling the excitement from the show. The bento box was so beautiful! I have never had such a high-class bento before! Everything was delicious, but my favorites were the "Taguri Yuba" and the "Smoked Duck." The bento box also came with two types of rice, which made it very satisfying. Daimaru's department store was crowded as usual, and it took me a while to find Nadaman, which turned out to be a small store. I also bought instant miso soup to enjoy in my hotel room. I finished the meal feeling content and grateful for the variety of dining options in Sapporo. It's truly enviable for the locals to have so many choices for food.✿

This is a store in Takashimaya's Hoppetown called Nandaman, which specializes in Japanese cuisine. You can buy various side dishes here, all of which have a refined and elegant Japanese taste. One dish I tried was the beef stew. The dark demi-glace sauce had a hint of Japanese flavor mixed with a Western-style seasoning. The soup was light and not oily, with tender vegetables like asparagus, daikon radish, cabbage, and carrots, along with bite-sized pieces of beef shin. The seasoning was delicate and the overall taste was superb. I believe that any dish you choose here will have a Japanese flavor profile. Another dish I had was the Japanese-style simmered cabbage rolls. The gentle colors and ingredients made it visually appealing. The white sauce had a Japanese flavor with a hint of dashi. The cabbage rolls were filled with two bite-sized pieces, along with seasonal vegetables and a meatball inside. The seasoning was lightly salted, and when combined with the sauce, it created a perfect balance of flavors. I enjoyed it even when served cold, as it became a refreshing cold soup dish. It was delicious.
