Why Travelers Love Hokkaido Seafood
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
First time ine Sapporo. Tried 2 other places before this. Was told they were "closed" when Google says they should be open. Was happy that these guys welcomed us tourists in after our first 2 failed attempts elsewhere. To say thank you, we ordered as much as we could. Food was all very nice, ambience was nice and relaxing. We were seated at the bar and from what I could see, we were the only tourists. Which was a nice feel to be where the locals are. Food and drinks came out at a relatively fast pace. Reasonably priced and most importantly was cooked well. Staff were attentive, helpful and joyful. Would reccomend and would come back! Thank you. Absolutely unreal quality. It is understated, but that does not discount the quality. Service is great and they offer English. The seafood is of the utmost quality. High praise from a very critical-big-eater. I recommend that you have a few big sapporos here and order the seafood to your heart’s content. Good food. Comfortable ambience for friends to meet up. Ryo and Hina-san was always smiling and friendly every time they comes to deliver or clear the table. Thank you for the lovely time

Not our best experience. Not a huge fan of people smoking around you when eating raw fish. :) Service was excellent. Sashimi quality was ok not great. So many solid options in Sapporo, maybe consider a different one!

Just happened to chance upon this izakaya. The staff is very welcoming regardless if you are a foreigner or a local. Went back the 2nd time! As it's our last day in sapporo! They bought us a cake to celebrate our honeymoon! Butter corn in sapporo as an alcohol dish is the best! Will definitely visit again when I am back in sapporo!
