We wanted to have a healthy early dinner on the second night in Sapporo. We had already tried Ghenghis Khan lamb barbecue, so we decided to have soup curry. In Japan, curry typically means curry...

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.

This restaurant is famous for its seafood bowls, with are loaded with raw sea urchin bowl and house-made salmon roe until the rice is totally hidden. 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!

Hokkaido Sapporo-shi Chuo-ku Minami 2 Nishi 1 (Tanukikoji 1-chome)

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...

Hokkaido Sapporo-shi Chuo-ku Minami 3-jo nishi 7-1 Tanukikoji 7

"This shop took off as a ""one coin"" ramen shop in Sapporo. They offer two reasonably priced styles, salt-broth and soy sauce broth, as they have always done. The thick pork bone based broth is lighter than it looks, and guests often drink it dry. They top their bowls with boiled egg, char siu pork, and iwanori seaweed, and sell it all for 500 yen. Their big standard is the akadama topping, which are spicy chicken meatballs. They recommend eating the first one as-is, then crumbling the second one and mixing it in to see how the taste changes."

Smaller place, which means theres sometimes a queue, but its usually pretty good! Recommendation is Miso-ramen which is nice and rich almost creamy in its nuttiness.

They use Kyoto's Saikyo Miso and Aichi's Haccho Miso for their mellow, flavorful Tokusen Miso ramen, a must-try bowl.

This is the main shop of the LITTLE JUICE BAR, which offers a new way to enjoy fruit. Their frozen dessert Ichigo Kezuri (R) is 100% made from strawberries.

The crunch of frozen strawberries is matched with rich milk mousse made with Hokkaido milk and condensed milk in perfect harmony. It's a perfect treat for outdoor summer fun, when proper vitamins are often hard to find.

Hokkaido Sapporo-shi Chuo-ku

This shop offers ramen that's rich but doesn't weigh heavy. They offer tonkotsu pork bone based super-savory soy sauce ramen on the third floor of a building near Susukino Station. The usual way to enjoy it is with the hajikami topping, with grilled fish and more. The hajikami ginger, which is up to three centimeters thick, is the perfect accent to their thick ramen broth. It's also a great partner to their flavorfully steeped young bamboo sprouts. The medium-thick, straight noodles pick up the broth's iwanori seaweed and onions for a variable flavor that will have you finishing your bowl in no time!

This ramen shop makes their broth in a special custom pot the size of an oil drum. It's made fresh every morning, without recycling the old, so this broth stands out for its total lack of old pork smell. Their most popular dish, with a diehard core of regular customers, is the Shoyu Ramen. Their specially made soy sauce base is mixed with char siu pork drippings for a full load of meaty goodness. It's finished with the lightest oil from the lard and pork bone broth for a smooth mouthfeel. The rich pork bone broth is perfectly matched with medium-thick crinkly noodles, for a bowl that even non-tonkotsu eaters will love.

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.
