    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Chuou-ku Odorinishi 9-1-1 Kitako Odori Park Building B1F
    A crab specialty restaurant located in Sapporo. In order to serve fresh, high quality horsehair crab, the restaurant stocks its goods from various locations depending on the season. Kanikichi aims to provide crab at reasonable prices so everyone can enjoy this delicious treat. Kanikichi serves its crab in a variety of styles, including sashimi, parboiled, boiled, and more. There are also hearty menu options like crab shabushabu and crab sukiyaki hotpots. The restaurant serves exceptionally reasonably priced options during lunch.

    Service was painfully slow - 30 minutes for a sashimi plate and 25 minutes + a reminder before I got the beer I ordered. When it did come the sashimi was decidedly mediocre and unreasonably priced...

    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Chuou-ku Kitaichijounishi 2 Oak Sapporo Building B1
    This small Izakya pub next to the Sapporo Clock Tower seats only 20. One can enjoy fresh sashimi, crab, urchin, scallops, and other seafood dishes with some sake, selected from their myriad supply. The salt-water bafun urchin, harvested from Hamanaka in the eastern region of Hokkaido during winter to spring, is highly recommended. From spring, it is the hair crab season. The spring kegani (hair crab) called 'ryuhyo-ake kegani (melting iceberg hair crab)' is particularly a specialty. However, because they are prepared once the order is placed, reservations are a must for both the urchin and kegani dishes. Reservations are recommended for the other dishes too. Party and course menus are available including all-you-can eat and drink courses.

    普段は平日に食べに行くのですが、初めて日曜日に伺うと、1人は髪の毛を結んでいるし、清潔感なし。お吸い物はお寿司が食べ終わってからでてきた。いつも平日にいる感じがいいお姉さんもいなく、忙しいのか新人さんなのか、わからないが日曜日にはもう行かないです 平日をおすすめします

    This soup curry shop is nearby the Sapporo Clock Tower. This famous store has endless lines in the afternoon, and the inside feels warm with its woody interior. The balance of spices in the soup curry is exquisite and there are three kinds: light, tomato and rich. After selecting the type of curry, you can choose your preference of main ingredients such as chicken and shrimp, the spiciness, amount of rice and toppings. All of the curry has plenty of vegetables cut into big pieces. The Sakutto Pica chicken, with crispy fried chicken legs, is a popular dish.

    Seating mostly for 2. We were a family of 4 so had to split up. The food was average. Previous tried suage which I preferred as the vegetables were grilled and more flavour some. Service also not...

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. 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.
