    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Chuou-ku Minaminijounishi 28-1
    This main shop of Miyakoshiya Coffee, a much-loved shop in Hokkaido, is located in the Maruyama area of Sapporo City. Its heavy stone-walled exterior is eye-catching, and the interior is filled with tables, chairs and furnishings, decorated so as to calm the mind. The store’s motto is “Coffee that any person will say is the best.” It roasts its own coffee beans, carefully valuing the five aspects of coffee “richness,” “fragrance,” “flavor,” “acid taste,” and “bitterness,” and the homemade cakes also go very well with the coffee. From the window on the second floor, customers can look out over Maruyama Park as they relax.

    I stumbled across this gem on my way back to the Station after visiting the Hokkaido Jingu Shrine at Maruyama Park. A traditional terrace style house from the outside, upon entering you are welcomed...

    本場のジンギスカンを食べたのは初めてで、味は濃いめ。生卵がついてきて「すき焼き風」に食べてくださいとの事、納得でした。 最上位の食べ放題で予約したので、美味しい部位も出てた様ですが、説明してくださっても最後は分からなくなりました。すみません。 味が濃い(甘め)ので、大量には食べれませんでした。 お店の方はみなテキパキ、気が回ります。多分地元の方も来ていると思います。

    特選羊肉プラン 羊肉6種食べ放題 を注文したが、、、 ・最初に出てくるセットメニュー が多すぎる。そのため、本当に 食べたいものを注文する前に、 満腹になってしまう。 ・店員(女性)の態度が悪すぎる。 接客商売というものが、わかっ て無いのではないか。 昔から行っていたが、毎年悪く なるばかりなので、もう二度と 行かないでしょう。

    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.

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.
