I felt like eating spaghetti since the morning today. I noticed a while ago that the restaurant using Kyoto vegetables had changed to the current one. By the way, it's been a year since Paseo closed down...and Esta closed at the end of last month...Ever since Daimaru Sapporo and Stella Place, as well as JR Tower, were built near Sapporo Station, people started gathering around Odori Park area to Sapporo Station area. But a new commercial facility was built in Tanuki Koji, and a new one will open in Susukino this fall, so I wonder if the flow of people will change to the main street area or the south side. I arrived at the restaurant just before the opening time of 11 o'clock. Already three ladies were waiting in line, so I thought I might as well wait in line too (laughs). Well, while waiting, I looked at the menu outside...but the menu itself is small (laughs). At 11 o'clock, I entered the store and declared that I was dining alone, so the waitress guided me to a solo box seat on the left side of the store. It's not a seat facing the wall, but a box seat like a parallel parking space...kind of awkward. There's a hamburger shop inside Sapporo Station's ticket gate that has a similar solo seat...and more and more customers kept coming in. Everyone chose spaghetti instead of the two ramen shops across the street, huh? (laughs) The waitress brought me oolong tea and a Japanese-style salad with miso soup. And she kindly reminded me that the miso soup was hot. Yeah, the miso soup is surprisingly not that hot (laughs). After about 12 minutes, the "Tarako Hitosuji" arrived. It's basically tarako spaghetti, with a single strip of tarako on top, looking delicious. The only other ingredients are Kujo green onions, chopped seaweed, simple and delicious. How is it different from the tarako spaghetti with sauce sold at convenience stores? Well, it's completely different (laughs). First of all, the tarako is delicious, and the pasta is cooked perfectly. But the butter in the sauce that coats the pasta is a bit weak, isn't it? It feels lacking, right? If they had something like adding extra butter like in ramen shops, I would definitely order it, right? By the way, I remember writing in past reviews about the previous Kyoto vegetable spaghetti restaurant that the butter was a bit weak... Well, it's all a matter of personal preference, right (laughs)? Both restaurants are operated by the same company, so there must be something, right? Well, it's safe and delicious, so it's all good, isn't it? Thank you for the meal.

I went to Apiya for the first time because Goroemon had opened there and I had never been before. I stopped by on my way home from work. I was seated at a table for one person. It was quite calming, which was nice. I noticed a seasonal cold pasta dish on the menu, but I decided to order the shrimp and mozzarella tomato sauce from the regular menu. The restaurant was moderately busy. First, the soup arrived, which made me feel hot. Eating spaghetti with chopsticks is a stable Japanese style. When it's over 30 degrees every day, cold water goes down well. It was ready in less than 10 minutes. The shrimp was large and the sauce tasted richer than I expected. The noodles were al dente. Mozzarella and tomato sauce go well together. I still felt the taste was stronger than before. Sometimes my throat felt dry. It might be because of the intense heat. The location is convenient and easy to stop by, so I will go there again.

Genova cream pasta chain with a variety of options, including "Asparagus and Bacon Genova" with salad/drink for an additional 400 yen. The atmosphere is cozy with small, well-separated seats. The cream pasta was flavorful with a generous amount of basil paste mixed in. The bacon and asparagus were cooked well, but the noodles got a bit mushy towards the end. Overall, a satisfying meal with the option to choose your own set.

When I visited Sapporo for a personal trip, I decided to explore the area and ended up at this restaurant. That day, I was in the mood for something different from cream-based pasta, so I chose the peperoncino pasta from their menu. Since I was quite hungry, I opted for the large size. The pasta had plenty of mackerel and was cooked perfectly al dente. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Pasta restaurant located in the underground shopping area of Sapporo Station South Exit, Apia, in Sapporo City, Chuo Ward, Kita 5-jo Nishi 4-chome. The reviewer visited on a Saturday afternoon around 2 pm and found the interior of the restaurant to have changed significantly from before. The menu was presented at the entrance, and the reviewer was seated in a section with dividers for two people. The staff instructed to press a button to call for service, but it took a few tries before they responded. The reviewer tried the spring seasonal pasta dish with bamboo shoots, shrimp, and scallops in a Japanese-style peperoncino sauce. The dish also included nori, snow peas, and a hint of sansho pepper oil. The pasta was served on a wooden plate and had a nice spring vibe. For dessert, the reviewer chose a strawberry rare cheesecake, which was not too sweet and had a smooth texture. Overall, the reviewer enjoyed the pasta and dessert and plans to try a pork and sesame sauce dish on their next visit.

I visited in April and tried the limited menu at the time. The "Greed Spaghetti Goemon" with Iberico pork and a variety of spring vegetables. I used to frequent the Paseo restaurant in Sapporo during the old days, but it closed down due to redevelopment, so maybe they moved here. The seating area is not very spacious, mainly table seats. The spring vegetables included snap peas, spring cabbage, and bamboo shoots. In the middle, there was a hot spring egg. I thought it would be a butter soy sauce flavor, but it didn't have much butter scent, more like a true Japanese-style spaghetti. I used to love this restaurant, but when I tried it in Tokyo, the taste felt different. Maybe it's the water quality issue. It's a bit disappointing that many of the old favorite menu items are no longer available. Thank you for the meal~

It was a weekday lunchtime visit and the restaurant was relatively crowded. The menu and flavors are delicious just like other similar restaurants. Carbonara, Genovese, and cod roe butter seem to be popular choices. The interior is clean, possibly because the restaurant recently relocated from Sapporo Paseo. The inside of the restaurant is noticeably cold, so even wearing a winter coat may not be enough to keep warm. The turnover is very fast, so although the lunch drink is cheap at 80 yen, it's not recommended. Even if it's a bit crowded, customers seem to leave within about 20 minutes, so you should be able to get in quickly if you wait. However, you may not be able to enjoy a leisurely meal.

It's early in the new year and I visited a restaurant near Sapporo Station. After doing some shopping, my stomach was growling! My companion wanted pasta, so we decided on this restaurant! We lined up with 6 people in front of us before the opening time, and there were 13 people in line behind us. It's a popular place! As soon as the restaurant opened, we were able to enter. We placed our orders with the staff in order, and soon the soup was served. It was a salty Japanese-style broth. After a short wait, our spaghetti arrived! I ordered the "Spaghetti with Natto and Crispy Bacon" (1100 yen). The spaghetti was stir-fried with shimeji mushrooms, crispy bacon, fluffy whipped natto, and egg yolk, topped with plenty of chopped seaweed and shiso leaves. My impression after eating it was that the flavor was a bit bland and blurry. I felt like it needed more salt, I wanted to add soy sauce. By the way, there were no condiments on the table. My companion had the "Charred Tarako Butter" (1150 yen), which was simply stir-fried spaghetti topped with lightly charred cod roe and chopped seaweed. It looked like a small portion, but it was just right. The flavor of the cod roe and saltiness were good, and it was delicious! Although the sign says "Western Noodle Shop," the menu mainly consists of Japanese-style spaghetti. Thank you, Apia store!

Paseo is gone, so the restaurant Goemon has taken its place where the former Sotoinnaru used to be. The interior has changed and it seems like the menu has changed as well. Unfortunately, my favorite sardine peperoncino is gone. I chose the sardine and watercress peperoncino as a replacement, which I think is new. The sardine dish is also very delicious. The shredded ginger is a nice touch. I like it so much that I think I will choose this instead of the sardines next time.

Today we are open♪ I came to Totoron Sapporo Station, which is rare for me haha. First stop is here for pasta lunch♪ I had the octopus peperoncino for 980 yen with a lunch drink, iced coffee for 80 yen (^^) I thought the lunch drink would be just a small glass of water, but it turned out to be quite a nice glass (^o^) The octopus peperoncino had a decent portion size and was quite spicy. I like octopus and peperoncino, but I wonder if they really go well together? (laughs) The peperoncino was quite spicy♪ It was delicious, but I think I might have become weak to spiciness (sweat) My lips are on fire (*^^*) I tried Gouemon for the first time♪ It was delicious. Thank you for the meal♪ Now, where should I go next? I will post the pictures later.

First visit after moving. I was so full but the ice cream was extremely hard, like rock hard, and tasted delicious.

I ordered the limited-time "Bamboo Shoot, Shrimp, and Scallop Peperoncino" dish. It looked beautiful but the taste was just average. I actually wanted to have the Vongole pasta but it wasn't available. I thought they used to have it before. It's disappointing.

Half & Half with Soup for 1,550 yen: Camembert cheese and crispy bacon Carbonara, and shrimp, avocado, and mozzarella cheese Genovese.

It's great that it's also located in the center of Sapporo! ^ ^
