Their foie gras daikon radish features a combination of daikon radish slowly simmered in dashi and foie gras sautéed in a teriyaki-style glaze.
The crisp, fresh heat of wasabi is said to bring out the rich flavor of the foie gras and the taste of the dashi.

Served in a stylish cocktail glass, it is topped with rich ingredients like maguro (tuna), ikura (salmon roe), tobiko (flying fish roe), and salmon. It is nice that you can enjoy it casually in a hand-roll style.

The performance of the seared Brisket flat sushi is sure to liven up the table too! It was my first time trying tako (octopus) with yuzukosho ponzu, and the tender octopus head, sesame oil, and the flavor of the yuzukosho ponzu went so well together that it became one of my favorite dishes. Overall, the food came out quickly, the service was good, and I’d like to come back again. I also appreciated that all seats are in Private rooms and the interior is bright and clean!

They also have a wide selection of drinks, and I got to enjoy various craft gins.

The charcoal grilled yakitori is slowly cooked over binchotan (high grade charcoal), and the more you chew, the more flavor fills your mouth. The “tsukune (chicken meatball)” in the photo is said to become richer and even more flavorful when dipped in egg yolk.

Some people visit just for the authentic handmade soba.
The mori-soba in the photo is said to be so good that you can keep eating it even when you're full. It also pairs well with Japanese sake, and you can enjoy comparing flavors with condiments like wasabi and salt.

The most popular item, kaki dengaku (oysters with sweet miso), is an excellent dish where the oysters’ creamy umami pairs perfectly with the salty sweet miso.
It is so good that many people order another serving. Since it takes time to prepare, it is best to order it early.

Another dish you should definitely try is the "sashimi assortment," where you can enjoy seafood unique to Hokkaido (northern Japan).
One big draw is that you can enjoy very fresh Atka mackerel, kazunoko (herring roe), salmon, tuna, and more at relatively reasonable prices. The contents of the assortment also change with the seasons.

I had a course meal that let me fully enjoy Hokkaido. It included sashimi, shiokara jaga butter (potato with salted seafood and butter), hokke (Atka mackerel), and more. Everything had a decent portion size, and it really gave me the feeling of being in Hokkaido. They also had two kinds of Hokkaido Japanese sake, and I alternated between them and got pleasantly tipsy.

I’ve visited several times, and it’s been great every time. There are of course plenty of cheap yakitori places, but once in a while, it’s nice to enjoy carefully prepared food in a stylish space like this. The sanma (Pacific saury) skewer included in the course this time was absolutely delicious.

The food was very good. I was happy that the wa-hijyo (Japanese-style ajillo), which combines two kinds of ingredients, lets you pick your favorites from several options. It was rich in flavor and paired really well with wine.

A place you might stop by for the ate (small dishes to go with drinks) alone. Drop in casually and have a Quick Drink at the counter. They have a wide selection of Japanese sake, including Kunimare. You can enjoy it nicely served in a wine glass. Every a la carte dish is appealing, and everything from the assortment to the tokibi (corn) tempura is delicious. I also liked the otoshi (small appetizer) tofu, which was smooth and satisfying.

The "tokudai shima hokke (extra large Atka mackerel)" grilled robata-style to concentrate its umami is bigger than you would imagine!
The flesh is said to be cooked up tender, and you can really taste the sweet richness of the fat. If you squeeze the lemon served on the side over it, the fresh acidity adds even more flavor.

"Odori zangi (Hokkaido-style fried chicken)," a popular Hokkaido gourmet dish, is also one of the must-try menu items.
The zangi is cooked with perfect heat, giving it a crunchy outside, and with one bite, juicy meat juices fill your mouth. Some reviews even say it is so good they would want to eat it every day.

The retro interior, with the warmth of wood, is a cozy space lit by soothing lights. There is also Sunken kotatsu seating and Private room seating, so you can relax and take your time. In summer, there are also terrace seats where you can feel the breeze, and spending time there in the cool evening twilight might be just perfect.

I visited after hearing that if you register on their social media, you can get oysters at a lower price. I was very Manzoku that I could enjoy properly sized oysters at a very reasonable price. The beer here was also great, and the server was clearly well cleaned, so there was no odd bitterness and I could enjoy it with no complaints.

The "zuwaigani (snow crab) tōban-mushi (steamed on a ceramic plate)" is a dish made with generous amounts of snow crab and pairs well with Japanese sake.
The snow crab, packed with rich umami, is said to be so good that it makes you forget to talk while eating. It is quite filling, so you can either share it with everyone or enjoy a blissful moment all to yourself.

The "Umi no Sachi Sashimi Assortment 5-ten Assortment" is recommended for anyone who wants to enjoy seafood from Hokkaido.
It comes with condiments and soy sauce made with broth from kettle-boiled Hidaka kombu kelp, wasabi sesame, and salt, so you can enjoy changing up the flavors as you eat. The contents of the assortment change depending on what is available that day.

The hokke hiraki (split open Atka mackerel) was rich with fat, with plump flesh that practically melted in the mouth and tasted amazing, and the grilled sake harasu (salmon belly) was also nicely fatty with a good salty kick and was delicious(✯ᴗ✯)The lamb Teppan-yaki had a sauce that soaked in well, tasted great with rice, and was delicious, and the Sapporo ramen salad was, as expected, a salad with a real ramen-like feel and was very tasty(*´ω｀*)

Hana no Mai is everywhere, but this is the first time I’ve seen Marugoto Hokkaido! Just like the name says, it’s packed with all the flavors of Hokkaido (Japan’s northern island)!! They also have lots of Hokkaido sake!! The madachi (soft roe) was really good〜!! A great place where you can enjoy all kinds of Hokkaido food at low prices!

This is a new-style izakaya (Japanese pub) with great entertainment value, located a 6-minute walk from Odori Station.
Inside, the space features retro sento (public bathhouse)-style decor. It has a nostalgic feel and is said to be so comfortable that you will want to stay for hours.

You can enjoy the unique experience of pouring drinks from taps installed all across one wall.
The customizable Jaguchi High has a wide variety of options, and being able to choose one to match your food is part of its appeal. With All you can drink, where you can enjoy as much as you like of what you like, it is perfect when you want to grab a quick drink!

The menu offers a wide range of options, from snacks that are perfect for a Quick Drink to à la carte dishes made with seasonal ingredients.
The small, reasonably sized snacks, such as the house specialty "chibi xiaolongbao (small soup dumplings)" and the "Terumae Kushi" named after the restaurant, are said to be a great choice when you want to try a little of many different dishes.

The drink selection is extensive, and considering the prices, it feels like a great deal. The food is simple, but the overall balance is enough to leave you fully Manzoku. The crowd is relatively young and lively, and the drum can-style chairs are a unique touch you only find at this kind of place. I think this restaurant is perfect for people who care most about price.

The all you can drink from the tap was great. The kushiyaki (grilled skewers) and xiaolongbao were cheap and tasty during happy hour. I had thought Thermae was only in Hokkaido, but I found out they also have locations in the Kanto area. It is a place I want to come back to again and again anytime, and everything was very good.
