Satisfying appetizers! Everything was delicious. I went on a busy day when they were short-staffed, so I only ordered the Shirasu pizza and left. They were also selling Teresa's bread at the entrance that day. I had to give up on buying it as I was planning to go out the next day. I would like to visit again and take my time next time!

Half a year ago, Kabosu-san was almost empty. This time, there were several groups coming in, and it was quite busy. The owner was busy cooking alone, but it was nice to see more customers. It's a restaurant that I don't want to see disappear. This time, I booked a room at the Hotel Nikko Northland in Obihiro, so as a driver, I can enjoy alcohol without worry. I ordered the homemade red shiso sour from the recommended menu. The scent was lovely, the color was beautiful, and it was delicious. This restaurant really excels in drinks with good scents. My friend ordered the Sangria that was delicious last time. Since I have a low alcohol tolerance, I decided to have just one drink so I wouldn't get lost on the way back to the hotel (lol). - Assorted 4 classic appetizers: The cream cheese wrapped in seaweed with yuzu sake aroma is delicious! The chewy texture of the nori zeporin is excellent. The rice salad has a refreshing vinegar taste, perfect for adults. The Argentine shrimp with gazpacho sauce was firm and the appetizer level was high. - Fruit tomato and shallot salad: It's nice to see Western vegetables that you don't usually see, like shallots. The stylish recipe with balsamic vinegar-based homemade dressing and a slight smoky flavor was a sophisticated salad. The carefully peeled tomatoes were sweet even though it was off-season. - Marinated herring and lemon confit: The fresh herring was firm and fresh! The lemon scent was refreshing. The slight bitterness of the peel was also an accent, another adult taste. - Nanohana and sun-dried tomato short pasta: I ordered it because of the seasonal feeling. The umami and bitterness of the nanohana harmonized with the tomato's umami, creating a very delicious sauce. The garlic was quite strong, and when you chew, the sweetness comes through. The small gnocchi-like dumplings were translucent and opaque. The opaque ones were hard and powdery, so I stopped eating them midway. I hesitated, but since it's a favorite restaurant, I didn't want to leave a bad aftertaste, so I bravely spoke to the young owner. After being surprised, he apologized politely and said that the gnocchi might have deteriorated. He kindly said that he wouldn't charge for it. I was embarrassed, but I took him up on his offer. A restaurant that handles problems well leaves a good impression. The food and drinks were really delicious with a lovely scent. I said I would come back and left the restaurant.

It was a really great restaurant! It has a hidden, stylish, and clean atmosphere with a spacious interior. The food is delicious, reasonably priced, and they offer a variety of homemade liqueurs. The only downside is that it's a bit off the beaten path (across from Fujimaru in the east), and not well-known as Ginza Center. But don't miss out on this place! They serve elaborate appetizers and daily recommendations. The restaurant has a long layout resembling an eel's sleeping area, making it perfect for a secret outing.

On a Saturday night, despite no customers entering, I decided to take a chance and go in! The wine was great, and the food was delicious, plus the glasses were lovely. And it's all reasonably priced. Maybe the reason why there are not many customers is because it's just a little bit away from the bustling area. The inside of the restaurant is spacious, with good infection control measures and a clean, cozy atmosphere. I was really satisfied and happy that I went in! When I visit Obihiro again, I definitely want to go back there!!

It's been about 3 years since I explored a new restaurant. I had heard that they serve Mediterranean to ethnic cuisine, and I had been wanting to try it. The restaurant is located in a retro shopping mall called Ginza Center. When I heard that the center was closed, I mistakenly thought that this restaurant had also disappeared, and I was disappointed. After overcoming the challenges of the pandemic, the restaurant is now in its 8th year since opening in 2014. It seems that they have a loyal customer base in the Hokkaido Tokachi region, where traditional cuisine is highly appreciated. The restaurant has been renovated with a high sense of style, resembling a chic beauty salon in Ginza. I was delighted to see a familiar painting by Kiriko hanging on the wall at the table we were seated at. The menu offers a unique combination of Italian, Moroccan, Middle Eastern cuisine with a touch of Japanese flavors, making it difficult to choose what to order. The name of the restaurant, "Kabosu," comes from the owner's favorite citrus fruit. Kabosu is a small citrus fruit often served with grilled fish. The owner must have a very refined sense of taste to appreciate such a fruit. The variety of homemade drinks using citrus, plum, shiso, and other syrups makes choosing a drink enjoyable. Since they are homemade, once the stock runs out, the item is removed from the menu. So, it's best to order your favorite drink early. I had the homemade citrus syrup soda and then the homemade ginger ale as a refill. My friend had the homemade citrus syrup lemonade and then the homemade sangria. Even when ordering soft drinks, the restaurant provides a selection of 5 signature appetizers as a complimentary starter. And they are delicious! It's a good idea to try the appetizers first before deciding on additional orders. The appetizers included seaweed Zeppole, Chinese broccoli marinated in cumin, red cabbage marinated, and yuzu cream cheese. The Zeppole was a small Italian bread with a chewy texture and a delicious seaweed flavor. I loved it! The marinated red cabbage had a good texture and aroma, and the combination of Chinese broccoli and cumin was surprisingly delightful. And the yuzu cream cheese! It had a fragrant yuzu aroma, but the miso and sake flavors were not overpowering, creating a sweet cheesecake-like taste. It was so delicious that I wanted a refill as soon as I took a bite. However, there were other menu items that caught my eye, so I ordered a variety of dishes. The grilled vegetable salad in Catalonian style with a paprika and almond sauce was interesting in flavor. Since it was made with grilled vegetables, it was a great way to get a lot of veggies in one dish. The smoked whitebait and sun-dried tomato pasta was cooked al dente with a slightly strong saltiness. Although I didn't taste much of the smoked whitebait flavor, it was still delicious. The Kitakari potato gnocchi with three cheeses - Parmigiano, mozzarella, and Gorgonzola - had a rich and creamy cheese sauce, especially with a generous amount of Gorgonzola. The fluffy gnocchi's simple umami flavor complemented the rich sauce, making it irresistible. The restaurant seems to have a focus on cheese and bread, with several bread menu items available. I was intrigued by the "homemade cheese bread" and decided to take it to go. The bread, with cheese kneaded into the heavy dough, was dense and chewy, providing a satisfying bite. I also wondered about the dough that the owner was skillfully rolling and preparing. I wonder what kind of bread that was.

Great place for a glass of wine by yourself, with excellent access right across from Fujimaru. The stylish atmosphere caught my eye from the outside. I decided to stop by for a quick drink after work. It was a bit late on a weekday, so there was only one other group of customers. They had a nice variety of wines available by the glass, which made me happy. The appetizer was delicious! The cream cheese wrapped in seaweed and chilled was a unique and tasty combination. The oil-based pasta was also very authentic and satisfying. The prices are not cheap, so it might add up if you're in a large group. It seems like a good place to enjoy some delicious food in a calm setting. The spacious counter was comfortable as well.

A few months ago, I happened to pass by "Kabosu" and noticed they seemed to be serving lunch. Although I didn't have time then, I finally had the chance to visit for the first time. The restaurant is spacious, with only one customer inside. I sat near the entrance where I could see the whole restaurant, hoping to attract more customers. However, this time it didn't work. When I entered, I was told they only had curry. I ordered the daily curry dish with turmeric and cumin-infused beef shin. The dish arrived in less than 10 minutes, and the aroma of spices stimulated my appetite. The beef shin was cooked to perfection, and I thought adding a pinch of salt would enhance the flavor even more. I can't visit on weekdays often, but I will definitely come back when I have the chance. Thank you for the delicious meal.

When it comes to choosing a restaurant for a girls' night out, it can be a bit tricky. After feeling disappointed at Benkei last time, we decided to try a new place recommended by another person. It seems like the owner of this new place trained at a well-known restaurant and then opened his own spot. The restaurant looks very stylish and chic. The interior has a spacious counter and a few table seats, perfect for a girls' night out. The menu prices are reasonable, and the dishes are beautifully presented. The staff, especially the female bartender, seemed a bit inexperienced. The food was delicious and well-crafted, and the wine selection was impressive. We tried a fruity white wine called Valminor, which paired perfectly with a liver pate dish. Overall, we had a great time and would like to visit again to further explore the menu. This place seems like a good choice for a casual hangout with a small group of friends.

This is a shop located behind the bag shop on Hirokoji Street, opposite Mr. Fujimaru's place. The name of the shop is Cabos. It has a stylish atmosphere. The entrance has an open kitchen with a bar counter, and there is also a space with table seats in the back. We used it for a girls' night out with 4-5 people, as well as for a Christmas party with about 30 people! The dishes made by the handsome owner are all delicious, and the prices are reasonable. Their homemade ginger ale is delicious and addictive. The dessert, Chocolate Nemesis, is rich and highly recommended for girls' night out (*^o^*). Many couples also use the counter seats. The shop opened in October last year, and it seems like they are gradually revising the menu and introducing new dishes, so I look forward to it.

The interior design of this restaurant is very stylish, but unfortunately, the food is terrible. The staff seemed disorganized and slow, and the kitchen was not very clean. The experience was disappointing, and I ended up leaving after 40 minutes and getting ramen instead. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

We visited Kabosu for a company's second party! The interior of the restaurant looks like a stylish cafe. We had already been drinking quite a bit during the first party, but we toasted with wine. The red wine was incredibly easy to drink, I think it was from Spain. Various delicious snacks were brought to us, which was surprising! The dishes all looked very appetizing and tasted delicious when we tried them. They were mainly Western-style dishes, and I don't remember the names, but they seemed like original creative Western-style dishes. Among them, the pate de campagne was delicious! This kind of dish at a second party makes me happy and want to come back. The menu had a variety of dishes and drinks, although I don't remember many details. Personally, I think it would be great for a first party too, especially because the atmosphere seemed to be something that women would enjoy!

Now, onto the third stop on my journey through Sapporo, the wine and sake bar "Kabosu." When I first tried to enter from the main street side, there didn't seem to be any signs of it being open. I decided to try the west 2nd street side, where I saw some lights and was able to enter. The interior of the shop is quite spacious, almost like the size of two shops put together. The owner of this shop used to run a place called "Den" in the Umaimon Street in the past, but closed it and opened this bar on October 22nd (confirmed with the owner). The introduction of the bar mentions that they offer a selection of rare indigenous grape varieties from the Mediterranean region, seasonal sake from all over Japan, authentic shochu, homemade liqueurs, and snacks made with fresh ingredients from Tokachi using Mediterranean and Japanese cooking methods. I opted for a red wine from the drink options explained to me verbally, while my companion chose beer (brand not checked). For tapas, we had Carrot Rapé, Tokachi potato tortilla, and Chicken Matsukaze-yaki. The rapé was easy to eat with a mild vinegar taste, the tortilla had a gentle flavor, and the Matsukaze-yaki felt like something that could be served at a New Year's feast. As an accompaniment for my companion, we ordered the Blackboard-listed Potato Salad Bruschetta with Hokkaido Akari, which was actually priced at 600 yen instead of 500 yen. The bread was crispy underneath the potato salad, as it was baked in the oven, and it was quite enjoyable. I was intrigued by the homemade Lemoncello for 700 yen, which was made with mineral water, making it a good choice for Lemoncello beginners. Although the box was large and they seemed a bit inexperienced, the owner's sophisticated appearance added to the bar atmosphere, as mentioned by someone else who visited separately. They are hosting events from October 29th to November 1st and another bar event from November 3rd to November 9th, so why not visit this stylish interior that you wouldn't expect from the exterior? Thank you for the meal.
