On the third night of my trip to Sapporo, I had a dinner with seven senior colleagues whom I hadn't seen in years. We had all-you-can-eat shabu-shabu, where we enjoyed delicious Japanese beef with three types of sauces: vinegar, sesame, and egg. The vinegar sauce was particularly refreshing and tasty, offering a new and different flavor compared to ponzu sauce. We kept ordering more meat, and I had a few glasses of highball and three servings of Hokkaido local sake. For dessert, I had tiramisu with matcha sauce. It was a time of overeating, but the staff, including the male servers, provided excellent service. Thank you for the feast!

My second drink spot with Mairevi-san, held irregularly, is "Le Trois 8F" which opened on February 1, 2023, serving "Wagyu Shabu-Shabu Sukiyaki Fujiyama". The dimly lit floor is greeted by stylish male staff. There are around 2-3 groups of customers before 8:00 PM on weekdays. Although it is a shabu-shabu restaurant, I just wanted a light snack and a drink for the second spot after eating somewhere else. I started with two "Highball (Dewar's) @500" in a large glass labeled "Fujiyama" in katakana, with a good amount of carbonation. I felt a bit guilty not having shabu-shabu at a shabu-shabu restaurant, so I ordered some food out of courtesy: "Wagyu Nigiri (2 pieces) @770" - the Wagyu was tender with good marbling, and the rice was perfectly soft; I wanted to have 2-3 more pieces but it's a bit pricey. "Chicken Karaage @550" - hot and crispy, juicy on the inside; not the perfect karaage but the light, salted coating goes well with carbonated drinks. They also offer a shabu-shabu all-you-can-eat menu, so I'll definitely try that next time. Thank you for the meal.

The visual system of young men like models, the deluxe version of the sashimi BOX, also seemed deluxe in price. The place of the women's power max Le Trois on the upper floor of Mt. Fuji's 8th floor. There are several restaurants, but it is an area that feels resistant for a single man. The night view and scenery are beautiful. I spent time in a different seat. Whether to enter the Wagyu shabu-shabu sukiyaki Mt. Fuji was discussed with my reviewer after confirming if I could drink a little with the a la carte menu at the second location near Odori Station. The service was not bad from the initial thought, but there were still some points that I was concerned about, such as the direction when placing the glass, etc. The service and customer mind may be a future challenge, and the sparse customers in the restaurant may be due to the menu or the fact that it was a weekday. I chose one dish from the menu, which means dishes that can be ordered individually. I decided on two dishes: Wagyu sushi (2 pieces for 770 yen) and chicken Karaage (550 yen). The unexpectedly delicious Wagyu sushi was rare like sashimi, and its marbled texture looked delicious, with what seemed like rock salt sprinkled on it. It was actually delicious, with a refined sweetness and richness of Wagyu, mixed with the shari. We shared each piece, but it would have been fine to have two pieces each. The chicken Karaage was not the usual frozen type that is too salty or has a questionable meat quality. It had a soft texture and a lightly salted taste, possibly marinated in a seasoning or without any seasoning. The overall texture was good, with a refined light taste. The standard sashimi types included amberjack, tuna, and salmon carpaccio, as well as salad. I couldn't afford the sashimi BOX, but I was considering choosing one of them and going there, but I ended up heading to the Susukino area afterwards. The highball was two drinks, and the logo of the store is cool with "Fujiyama" written in katakana, so it would be better to place the logo where customers can see it. Japanese whiskies such as Yamazaki, Taketsuru, Hakushu, and Yoichi are reasonably available for 1,000 yen each. The drinking options are only soda or on the rocks, and I did not check if they could be drunk straight. Store information: Le Trois 8F, 1-13 Odori Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. Wagyu shabu-shabu sukiyaki Mt. Fuji

On the night I stayed at the usual Premier Hotel Cabin Sapporo for a business trip, I was invited to have dinner at Fujiyama with Wagyu beef shabu-shabu and sukiyaki. Overall, it was delicious. Starting with the fatty tuna sashimi appetizer, I enjoyed the main course of Wagyu beef shabu-shabu and sukiyaki. The presentation was beautiful as well. However, when looking at the menu, it seems to be more geared towards inbound tourists in terms of pricing. The service also didn't quite match the price range. Without a menu, it was difficult to remember all the explanations given all at once.
