Attracted by this sign, I walked into a small alley, turned in and found that there was an overpass on one side, which looked like a story. There must be an excuse to eat, eat, eat, eat, and I love this cheese pie.
The sashimi is very fresh and tastes good, the portion of each dish is just right, and there are many styles. The grilled food includes cheese baked oysters, Saikyo grilled cod, fillet steak, Longjing shrimp ~ the price is not cheap, but everyone is happy to eat the rice balls for the delicious sushi.

A good crab restaurant in the central district of Sapporo. It is now well-known and is often reserved by Chinese and Korean people. Generally, reservations are required in advance. The taste is really good. I still want to have a try every time I go to Sapporo.
You can only eat it by making an appointment in advance. The store will post the names of the guests who make reservations every day on the door, which is quite interesting. Ice and Snow Gate was founded in 1964 and specializes in various crab dishes, especially king crab.

It is said to be a century-old shop, the best eel rice in Sapporo. It is located opposite the Crab General on Sapporo South 4th Street. The shop is considered large in Japan and there are seats as soon as you go. You must use various body language and Japanese English to ask the waiter to bring out the local menu, eel three ways. Eel three ways is the way to eat in Nagoya. The first small bowl is the original flavor, just eel and rice. The eel is freshly grilled, and the sauce of the grilled eel is mixed with rice. The taste is so rich that it is hard to describe, and because it is the first bowl, it will not be greasy; the second bowl is added with chopped green onion, seaweed and mustard, and after stirring, the strong taste of the eel and the mustard, which is not too pungent, complement each other; the third bowl is added with seaweed and chopped green onion and soaked with sencha. After a bite, it is obviously tea rice, but it tastes very delicious, and there is no bland taste as imagined before. I personally like the third way of eating the most. The fourth bowl is a 2+3 mixed meal, which feels good too. According to my friends in the same industry, the eel here is not as good as the one-Michelin-starred one in Arashiyama, Kyoto, but this way of eating it does add points. I will compare it myself next time and then make a judgment.
The eel rice is delicious. I ordered one. There are large and small portions, the difference is the amount of eel. You can eat it with soup or rice, but I think it tastes better in its original flavor.

The sashimi platter, except for the shrimp, is my favorite. This meal is very satisfying. No matter how you eat it, it is full of freshness, tastes excellent, has high nutritional value, is rich in protein, and is low in fat. It is healthy and delicious.
The crab dishes in Sapporo, Hokkaido are famous all over the world. The most famous crab restaurants are Kani Honke and Kani General. Most of the ingredients of Sapporo's crab dishes are hairy crabs, king crabs, and long-legged crabs. Almost all crab restaurants have the same procurement channels, so the ingredients are similar and there will not be much difference. The only difference is the way of cooking and the cooking techniques.
The long-legged crab dish set I ordered includes: appetizers, long-legged crab sashimi, crab meat tofu, long-legged crab pot, baked crab shell, crab leg tempura, grilled crab, etc. Finally, the porridge is served with an exclusive secret soup, and the taste is unparalleled. First of all, the crab sashimi tastes sweet and fresh. The crab meat can be pulled off with a tool, and it is not too satisfying to put it in your mouth. The main character is naturally the long-legged crab. The soup is used to restore the taste of the ingredients. The crab meat is very plump and full of crab roe. The whole pot is served with vegetables as the base, and only a little salt is added. The crab meat is not long in, and a burst of fragrance comes to your face. Drink a mouthful and the whole person is instantly better.
The final finishing touch is the crab soup rice. When the crab pot is cooked, the soup base condenses the essence of all the crab meat. Millet is added. After slow cooking for five minutes, eggs are added. A fresh fragrance immediately fills the whole space. Carefully taste it, and the eyebrows can't be found. I ate three bowls.
Tips:
1. After a crab meal, sashimi, soup, charcoal grilling, deep-frying, raw baking, and porridge are all available.
2. Each of us ordered a single set meal of 220 yuan before, and an additional order of 7246 yen.

The store is quite big and is almost always full. The waiting time varies from 30 minutes to 40 minutes. There are tatami rooms, which need to be booked in advance. The waiters are very busy and their service attitude is relatively indifferent in Hokkaido restaurants. They are responsible for taking orders and grilling seafood for customers, and then serving and clearing tables. They are very busy. However, they can basically take care of the heat and maturity, which is still very good.
A famous seafood restaurant in Hokkaido. I saw the promotional poster in the tunnel of Sapporo Station. It was snowing heavily and it was not suitable to go out. This restaurant is located in the office building next to the hotel. When I went there, I found that there were really many people. I lined up outside early to wait for a seat.
Maybe the price is more affordable. The environment is average, the barbecue air is average, but the ingredients are really fresh and delicious

A very delicious mutton restaurant.
In short, the fat is sweet and tasty, and I experienced the potential of Hokkaido ingredients!
The grilled vegetables and mutton each have their own sauces, and the ingredients are also unique, with white sesame, garlic, grated radish, and fennel, all of which are delicious. Because it is a more precious 🐑 meat, I feel that the price will be higher~
||"There are so many people today, and there's not much meat left. Why don't you go to another restaurant?" The owner stood at the door and tried to persuade us earnestly.
I was moved by his sincerity: "No, I want to eat at your restaurant."
The owner sighed: "Then come in and wait. It's cold outside. Oh, I really don't understand you tourists. The restaurants in our area are as bad as Kabukicho in Shinjuku. You are still so energetic. Go out and eat farther..."
We moved to the corridor to wait and took a breath of air. It was refreshing, the smell of sheep.
This is a famous Genghis Khan grilled lamb in Hokkaido, called "I'm eating" (いただきます). We carefully selected for a long time and found that other grilled meat restaurants did not use Hokkaido lamb - what a joke! Finally, we chose this Hokkaido ranch direct store.
The owner came to the door to chat with us again: "Still waiting."
"If, I mean if, you can eat at two tables?"
"Oh, great, there are four empty seats! If the person in front of you is not here, you can eat first!"
After a while, the owner came with the registration book and called: "Sato-san, is Sato-san here, Kobayashi, is Kobayashi-san here... Suzuki, Tanaka, Yamada, Matsumoto-san here... Hey Ding-san, please come in."
Friend: "What is he doing."
Me: "He is going through the process."
There are only two kinds of mutton today. The owner moved around and brought out two plates of lamb lungs and a few plates of sausages, which was considered to be a full meal for us.
The fresh lamb from the ranch is so delicious that I want to tell the world loudly: "Go eat!"
The lamb is tender, with snow-white fat edges. After frying, it leaves golden marks. The sizzling melted lamb drips onto the rice, making the rice fragrant.
The sausages are solid lamb sausages, and they are extremely fragrant. When you bite into them, the sausages break apart with a popping sound, and a pool of fat spills out, which is the fresh and full meat fragrance!
Pieces of meat disappeared one by one, and the plates were piled up one by one. The four of us devoured twenty plates of meat in a whirlwind, and when the owner spread his hands and said, "There is really no more plates left," we reluctantly stopped.
☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️
It's so nice.

This is a seafood restaurant with two floors. The second floor is all tatami and smoking is allowed. The air quality is a little bit poor, and the seafood tastes okay, so this restaurant is not suitable for bringing children, and the live fish sashimi is not suitable for Chinese people's taste.
Unfortunately, the recommended squid was out of stock, and the snow crab was limited in quantity and had been reduced in price, so I could only choose to boil it or eat it raw, so I ate the raw crab legs. It was my first time eating raw crab legs, and I felt that the boiled crab legs had a stronger taste than the raw ones, but they were delicious

The specialty of Baxie is the big bowl of fish roe and salmon roe. The serving method is very impressive. Everyone needs to shout to serve you the food. It's interesting!
This type of store belongs to the seafood specialty izakaya. The atmosphere is generally very good when there are many people, but there is no smoking ban, which is a bad thing!
This is a popular izakaya-style restaurant that specializes in Hokkaido seafood dishes. The most famous dish in this restaurant is the salmon roe rice bowl, which looks simple but is actually very delicious. The way the dish is served is also very special. The waiter with a headband will shout "オイサー" while sprinkling salmon roe on the rice until you shout "stop"! It's super interesting.

It was the first time I tasted super fresh, super delicious and sweet sea urchin rice, and the quantity was large. The sea urchin was also made into various snacks, which was very satisfying to eat [馋嘴][馋嘴][馋嘴], it was worth waiting in line
The sea urchins in Sapporo are very good. They are all very big. A portion of sea urchin sushi tastes super delicious and is incomparable to the sea urchins in China. The senbei tastes very good too, and the snacks inside are delicious.

If you travel to Hokkaido, seafood is definitely a must-eat delicacy. Today I want to share with you the strongest seafood market in Sapporo - "Central Shelling Market Outer Market", which has three seafood stores that are definitely worth checking in. Authentic locals also praise them🤓
1️⃣ "Kitano Grumetei"
"Kitano Grumetei" was the first store to open in the outer market when the Sapporo Central Wholesale Market opened in 1959. The most popular here are seafood rice bowls such as prawns, sea urchins, and salmon roe. In addition, there are sea urchin, salmon roe rice bowls, shrimp, crab, and salmon rice bowls. The menu is very rich. In addition to rice bowls, there are also delicious sashimi and barbecue supplies! All seafood ingredients are sent directly from the place of origin to ensure freshness🆙
2️⃣ "Aji no Niko"
"Aji no Niko" is an old store founded in Showa 45, and it is now run by the third generation. As the first store in the Shell Market to sell "seafood rice bowl", the food here is very famous in Japan. Both locals and tourists have praised this place. Locals commented that the freshness and quantity of the food seem unattainable, but the pricing is unexpectedly conscientious.
3️⃣ "Umedo"
This is a restaurant specializing in crabs, "Umedo", which is run by a crab wholesaler. Here, you can taste a rich seafood rice bowl such as crab, salmon roe rice bowl, king crab and Hanasaki crab. The crab leg meat and salmon roe are very luxurious! In addition, the miso soup with crab legs is also excellent. Many bloggers have checked in here!
If you are planning a trip to Hokkaido, remember to come to these seafood restaurants to taste authentic Hokkaido food. The food tour in Sapporo will definitely make you linger. #SapporoFood #HokkaidoSapporoTour #SapporoMust-visit #RomanticHokkaido
