"Afternoon tea "Heart of Japan" with Häagen-Dazs. I enjoyed afternoon tea at ANA Crowne Plaza Hotel Sapporo, overlooking Sapporo, featuring Japanese-themed sweets inspired by kabuki, Japanese gardens, Mount Fuji, and kimonos. There were 10 varieties of sweets to enjoy. The service is for 150 minutes (last order 30 minutes before the end). You can order as much as you like from 9 varieties of TWG tea, as well as coffee, juice, and Häagen-Dazs ice cream in vanilla, strawberry, green tea, and chocolate flavors. The total cost was 3,800 yen including tax. I visited in August 2023."

They were all so delicious \( ´ω` )/\( ´ω` )/ Although Häagen-Dazs was also available, I was too busy trying all the sweets to get to it (lol) I don't usually indulge in sweets, so this was a treat♡ There were so many types of tea to choose from, some I had never tried before! It was fun to taste and compare different teas (´ω｀) There were even non-alcoholic cocktails available♡ We thought we might be there for about 3 hours, but time flew by as we chatted!

Afternoon tea in spring: Strawberry Afternoon Tea ~ Spring Palette with Haagen-Dazs Strawberry Sparkling Wine Mini Bottle Included ¥4500. Rosemary-flavored strawberry tart, cheese cream macaron, strawberry and balsamic bavarois, strawberry and mascarpone verrine, rose cream chiffon cake, cherry bean financier, strawberry and pistachio gateau, strawberry and maple cream puff. We chose the plan with strawberry sparkling wine at the 26th-floor Sky Lounge with a Sapporo view. Enjoy 9 sweets, 3 savories, all-you-can-eat and drink TWG Tea (9 types), Haagen-Dazs (4 types), mocktails, soft drinks, palate cleansers, and even a bag of potato chips included. The strawberry-themed sweets were all cute and delicious, especially the strawberry and pistachio gateau and the cheese cream macaron with a hint of saltiness. Despite thinking 150 minutes was long, we enjoyed the tea and ice cream until the end, and time flew by!

I went to the Sky Lounge Sapporo View for the spring "Strawberry Afternoon Tea - Spring Palette" with Häagen-Dazs! The price is 4,000 yen per person (including tax and service charge). We chose the plan with a small bottle of strawberry sparkling wine for 4,500 yen per person (including tax and service charge) through online reservation. Upon entering, we were served a welcome drink - sparkling water with strawberries floating in it. A few minutes later, the tea stand arrived, filled with the aroma of strawberries. There were 9 types of TWG tea and free-flow Häagen-Dazs ice cream in flavors like vanilla, strawberry, matcha, and cookie cream. You can enjoy the sweets and chat for 150 minutes. The seating is limited to 36 people per time slot, and there was enough space between tables so we could have conversations without overhearing others. The view from the 26th floor was beautiful. Despite the snowstorm outside, the spring-like strawberries made us feel the essence of Sapporo. I have been to Sapporo View before when visiting the teppanyaki restaurant "Ishikari" on the same floor for dessert, so it brought back nostalgic feelings.

Alcohol is priced at a flat rate of 500 yen. Non-alcoholic drinks are free. Surprisingly, they serve Asahi instead of Sapporo. And they only offer drinks, no snacks. I wish they had at least some snacks, especially during the pandemic... It used to be a nice place before the pandemic. I was worried that families with kids might come in because of the free non-alcoholic drinks, but the kids were well-behaved. It's quite refreshing for me as I don't usually interact with juniors at bars! The atmosphere is more relaxed compared to the lounges at Disney's Hilton or Sheraton.

A wonderful date at a reasonable price with a beautiful night view setting! A full course meal with both meat and fish can be expensive, especially when you add drinks. But no need to worry, there's a special course available for early reservations with all-you-can-drink included for only 5,500 yen per person! And if you have an ANA Hotel membership card, you get a 10% discount. The course is delicious and the amount of alcohol served is just right for those who enjoy drinking. The best part is the reserved seating, where the staff kindly arranged our course meals side by side on the edge of the table. We were able to enjoy the night view and atmosphere from the 26th floor with great service. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

I organized the photos. I enjoyed the alcohol and the view. The restaurant is very spacious. It was crowded, so we initially sat at the counter, admiring the many beautiful glasses while chatting with the staff about bubbles. Once a table opened up, we moved to a sofa seat with a view of the night scenery. The night view of Sapporo, which I hadn't seen in a while, was very beautiful. The cocktails were delicious, and I ended up having multiple glasses. Both the counter and the window seats have a great atmosphere. I was very satisfied and loved it.

A course meal that is a bit formal but also casual, where you can enjoy the night view and delicious drinks. It feels luxurious yet is reasonably priced. The best cost performance!! It's nice to straighten your back once in a while ♡ Highly recommended for a date.

Two female colleagues visited this place together. We actually wanted to use it for a date, but we are not familiar with Sapporo's geography, so we came here because it is a bar on top of a hotel. The service from the waiter was very friendly and likable. It is indeed a bar on the "top" of a hotel, with prices that are considered "average" on the higher side. We had salad, prosciutto, and 4 cocktails for about 11,000 yen. Is this considered normal? I don't think I would come here again, but it might be a good place to impress a woman while gazing at the night view from the top floor.

I visited Sapporo View at the Sapporo ANA Hotel for the first time in a while. I had made a reservation in advance for a non-smoking seat with a good view. It felt like the first time visiting with my usual companion, as our previous visits were always work-related. We visited on a weekday at 7:00 PM. The restaurant is located on the 26th floor of the Sapporo ANA Hotel near JR Sapporo Station in Sapporo's Chuo Ward. When we arrived, we were seated at a non-smoking table by the window with a good view. From our table, we could see the eastern side of Sapporo, which is not often seen at night but offers a beautiful view due to fewer tall buildings. The smoking tables offer a view of the western side with more buildings. We ordered the "Autumn Premium View Special" which included a course of 6 creative dishes and a 120-minute premium free drink plan. The drink plan included unlimited white and red wine, beer, sake, and cocktails. Since we had made a reservation, the dishes were served smoothly. We started with sparkling wine as planned and then ordered our favorite cocktails. I ordered a regular cocktail, while my companion ordered low-alcohol or non-alcoholic cocktails. The drink plan allowed us to switch between long and short cocktails, which was a nice surprise. There was also live piano music playing at some point. Overall, the restaurant had a nice atmosphere. The food was decent, and the "Autumn Premium View Special" course was well-prepared with a variety of dishes including fish and meat. Enjoying cocktails with a beautiful view added a stylish touch to the evening. The Sapporo ANA Hotel is a member of the Japan Hotel Barmen's Association, so the cocktails were well-made. The food was also satisfying, and the plan was good value for money. There are few sky lounges with such a view in Sapporo. I had a great time with my usual companion and would like to use a similar plan next time. It would be even better if there were more cocktail options. I look forward to visiting again. Thank you for the delicious meal.

It's been a while since I visited Sapporo View... The atmosphere is really nice (^O^) The live piano music is lovely (laughs) They don't play all the time, just occasionally. The food is elegant and delicious. My favorite is the pasta. The beer is Sapporo Super Dry! So tasty! The foam is very fine. The night view from the window is beautiful. I prefer the view from the north side. I usually drink beer at izakayas, but it's nice to have a drink at a place like this occasionally (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

After enjoying a meal at the teppanyaki restaurant "Ishikari," we moved to Sapporo View for dessert. Located on the opposite side of the teppanyaki restaurant, Sapporo View offers a beautiful view of the western side of Sapporo Station, where you can enjoy the night scenery. Despite arriving close to the last order time, the restaurant was very crowded, almost full. We had reserved a window seat, which provided a good view of the outside (although the night view on the east side was more open and beautiful). This place seems to be a Suntory-affiliated bar, with a wide selection of whiskies such as Hibiki 17-year-old, Ballantine 17-year-old, Yamazaki 12-year-old, The Macallan 12-year-old, and Glenfiddich 12-year-old. The atmosphere was enhanced by live piano music playing in the background as we enjoyed dessert and coffee. I chose yuzu sherbet for dessert and coffee for my drink. The coffee was a smooth blend type, not drip brewed individually. It was easy to drink and had a mellow taste. I was offered a refill of coffee halfway through, which was a nice touch. The atmosphere by the window was excellent, but it was a bit cold. The night view in the background and the rhythm of the bartender shaking a shaker at the counter could make for a fun date night. Recommended for a date! Opening hours are from 8:00 to 23:00 with last order at 22:30. There are non-smoking seats available.

I and my wife, who both have low tolerance for alcohol, visited a certain restaurant that we occasionally stop by for some reason. Today, it was after the New Year's sale at the department store. My wife was a bit hungry, and I was a little tired from the crowds, so we decided to visit this place for just one drink. The interior of the restaurant... Oh, it seems a bit different from before? Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the chairs had changed from dark tones to white. The tables were the same, but the lighting had become much more elegant. It had a welcoming atmosphere that even women could easily enter. "Would you like a smoking or non-smoking seat?" Was it always separated before? We requested a non-smoking seat and were seated on the side facing the Toyohira River & Factory. The view of the snow-covered Sapporo below was beautiful. The snow continued to fall, and the streetlights gently illuminated the city, creating a romantic atmosphere that one could immerse in even if alone by the window. First, we ordered our drinks. My wife had a Cinderella (non-alcoholic mixed juice), and I had a Gin Fizz. We toasted to our successful purchases at the sale. The food menu was a bit limited. I thought there was pizza, but... Was I mistaken or confusing it with another restaurant? Nevertheless, we ordered the pasta of the day (seafood tomato sauce) and garlic toast. Surprisingly, the dish was delicious. The crab flavor was still present in the crab meat, indicating the use of quality ingredients. The pasta sauce, rich in seafood flavor, paired with the garlic toast, satisfied our hunger completely. I ordered a IW Harper with soda as an additional drink. My wife had one more cocktail and seemed content with the pasta. We ended up having our dinner here, taking a short break that turned into a full meal. The bill came to about 3000 yen per person. I have an ANA card, so we received a 10% discount. It felt like a good deal. My wife used to visit this place often when she was single. I wonder what she was looking for by coming here, given her dislike for alcohol? It's more fun to leave a little mystery as a couple even after getting married.

After attending a party, I wandered through Odori Park as light snow fluttered down, and ended up in Susukino. I was unsure if that familiar shop was still there, but my hunch was right - it had been replaced by an oden restaurant. After strolling around Susukino for a while, feeling the cold freezing my body, I eventually returned to the hotel (ANA). There, while enjoying the night view, I visited this bar. The name is straightforward, maybe too straightforward for a more romantic touch, but being an old hotel, it must hold a special place in the hearts of regular customers. They had a limited edition winter cocktail collection, and I tried the Amethyst. February's birthstone is Amethyst, a stone known for its mystical and elegant color, often associated with nobility. I was curious to see how it would shine amidst the snowy landscape. The cocktail used osmanthus liqueur to create a purple hue, with a slightly sweet taste and a strong alcohol content, making it a sophisticated drink for adults. The potent alcohol warmed my chilled body in the midst of the powdery snow, making me feel rejuvenated. Looking out the window, I saw the snow-covered scenery of Sapporo, with snow still falling heavily. The mellow voice of a woman singing jazz while playing the piano filled the bar, occasionally interrupted by the lively chatter of groups. Lost in the moment, I finished the Amethyst. When asked what I wanted next, I requested a Pink Martini. This cocktail is not commonly found, but whether in a bar in NY's Temple Bar or at the Highlander in Hotel Okura, I always ask for it. It's essentially a Martini base, but the fun lies in how each bartender creates the pink color. The name is derived from a CD track at the Hotel Costes in Paris. The young female bartender, despite her petite frame, confidently shook the shaker and handed me the Pink Martini with a smile. The rich alcohol intertwined with the vibrant pink hue, confronting the chill with a sense of upliftment. Being in Sapporo, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for the arrival of spring.

I made a reservation for the first time in a while and went to eat. Since I made a reservation for the opening time (6:00 pm), there was only one group of customers who had arrived before me. I had already ordered the food, so they brought it to me right away. I started with a beer for my drink. There were also delicious options like whiskey and cocktails. The night view was nice around 7 pm since the sunset is late these days. In the past, you could see well from the seats on the west side, but there are now many tall buildings, so I reserved a seat on the east side. There is a restaurant at the Nikko Hotel near JR Sapporo Station, and it's still a good place to go. The prices are also reasonable, so I recommend it.

I went to a wedding reception after-party. It was just the three of us, so it felt more like a third round. We went for a light drink. As the name suggests, you can overlook the night view of Sapporo, which is nice. The inside of the restaurant is dark and has a calm atmosphere. We ordered a cheese platter and nuts & chips. The chips were made from vegetables, so you could really taste and feel the vegetables, giving it a homemade feel and they were delicious. We only ordered classic cocktails, but they were very well made. The staff's service was good, keeping a good distance. The prices are a bit higher than the usual places I go to, but it's a nice place for a special occasion.
