Looking for a good value izakaya in Sapporo’s Susukino that allows multiple people to enjoy their own favorite dishes, this izakaya opened on October 5th.Recommended shop Sapporo Hino Branch (Recommended shop Sapporo Susukino Branch)It’s worth saving for now. The restaurant offers a 2-hour unlimited-drink buffet for 3,300 yen tax included. The menu includes 16 types of skewers, hot dishes, sashimi, fried foods, main dishes, and desserts for a total of 100 items. The raw beer is also included in the drink menu. This is especially convenient for those who just arrived in Sapporo and want to have dinner with their travel companions without having to repeatedly calculate the additional charges.

The Hokkaido flagship store is located in Hanamaki, a 2-minute walk from the station.

The recommended venue has multiple branches in places like Tokyo, Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ikebukuro. The Sapporo Thinbo branch is the first in Hokkaido. The location is on the 8th floor of the Green Building at 3-3-4 Minami 4-chome, a 2-minute walk from Thinbo Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway Namboku Line. It’s also a 3-minute walk from Toyosui Thinbo Station and about 9 minutes on foot from Dotonbori Station. For travelers who live in Thinbo, Tanakubo, or Dotonbori areas, it’s easy to gather after seeing the night view, shopping district, or the show.

The restaurant has a total of 120 seats and also offers private rooms. For those who want to have a quiet dinner alone or for those with a large group of friends to have a meal together, there are flexible seating options available. In the evenings in Tainan, there are many restaurants, but finding a place that can accommodate a large group of people can be difficult; if you have plans to dine with a large group on weekends or during the holidays, booking online beforehand is safer.

In addition to 16 types of skewers, you can also order a variety of hot dishes and sashimi.

The core of the menu is the skewers, which include the signature thick-sliced beef tongue skewers, chicken leg skewers, chicken skin skewers, chicken cross-section skewers, chicken heart skewers, sand-liver skewers, chicken butt skewers, and tomato-aubergine skewers and almond mushroom skewers. Some of the skewers are prepared by hand in the restaurant, so if you want to try different parts, you can start with a small selection and then add more when you’re ready to try your favorite items.

If you don’t want to eat only skewers all night, there are options like the Mackerel Inner-Meat Pot, Hakata Inner-Meat Pot, Chicken Water-Cooked Pot, raw fish slices, and grilled bonito. You can choose between refreshing soy sauce or rich chicken white soup for the broth, perfect for sharing a pot with your travel companions during Hokkaido’s nighttime cooling down. When ordering for the first time, choose the main dish and a few signature skewers, then add some fried items, salads, and dessert. The table won’t get too crowded at once, and you can also better manage the two-hour pace.

The 3,300 yen plan: Things you need to know before checking out

Dining recommendations for travelers from Taiwan

If some of your companions don’t drink alcohol, first confirm that the plan and drink rules meet your needs. Hanamaki is the most concentrated area of nightlife in Sapporo. After dinner, you can take a walk to Yanagidori Street, take the train back to Sapporo Station, or go back to your hotel for a rest; you don’t have to schedule dinner too early. If you want to have a more authentic local izakaya experience, start with chicken skin and eel skewers and inner-organs stew, paired with draft beer or non-alcoholic beverages, and make this dinner the most exciting stop on your night in Sapporo.
