    Opened in 1975, this sandwich shop has been popular with the people of Sapporo for years. You can put together two kinds of filling from a choice of ten, each going perfectly well with the shop’s specially baked bread.

    A steak restaurant where you can enjoy hearty slabs of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, and even dear meat in a designer space reminiscent of old America created with lots of iron and wood. Particularly recommended is the restaurant's signature shallow-fried Ikeda beef, a Hokkaido brand wagyu Japanese beef variety. A proprietary technique is used to give the beef a crisp outer flavor crust while keeping the inside moist and rare so that diners can enjoy the innate flavor of the red meat. Diners are encouraged to bite wholeheartedly into the tender, creamy meat.

    Hokkaido Sapporo-shi Chuo-ku Minami 2-jo nishi 5 Minami 2 Nishi 5 Building 1F
    This powerful Italian restaurant opened back in the days when Sapporo had few Italian shops, and even has a wood fired oven imported from Italy itself. It has run three years in a row in world pizza contests, and has earned top place as a Japanese chef twice. The chef is particular about every detail from the flour, to the water, and even yeast, in creating authentic traditional Milanese style pizza with its particular crisp crust. It's popular for the woody aroma and savory wheat flavor. It has a strong regular clientele due to its focus on using seasonal Hokkaido ingredients.

    Restaurant staff were rude and served our food later than others; didnt bother reading us the specials that were brought to the others.

Look for the yellow sign right in front of Nijo Fish Market. This popular Chef's Choice rice bowl (delux) is loaded with a selection of seafood picked especially by the chef and is another big hit. You must be impressed to see fresh great flavors of 15 to 20 varieties of sashimi on top. You can also enjoy its carefully selected sea urchin of the day because raw season has different flavors depending on the time and place.

    You gotta have a meal here if you are in Sapporo! We were really impressed by the quality and freshness of the seafood, one of the best we had so far!

    This ramen shop is just at the entrance to Tanukikoji 1-Chome, about a five-minute walk from Sapporo TV Tower. They are focused on using only Hokkaido products in their ramen, including the noodles, char siu pork, miso and soy sauce. Their popular dish is Seared Char Siu Miso. The fat melts away and leaves meat so tender it falls apart in your chopsticks. The broth is much lighter than it looks, and is perfect for a light meal. It's tipped with colorful Yuzu peel, and the gentle aroma is enchanting.

    The ramen comes with grilled pork strip. Not only is the ramen good, the pork strip is fantastic. Smells so good, taste much better. The price is also reasonable. My wife and I loved it. I would...

Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
