Visited on a holiday on February 5, 2023 for lunch with my wife. The restaurant, Wanohachi Souan, is located on the 24th floor of the Premier Hotel Nakajima Park, offering a great view of Nakajima Park. Lately, I've been sticking to Japanese cuisine as my stomach isn't as strong as it used to be. We ordered the Wanohachi Prefix Course for 3,200 yen, which included a variety of dishes such as appetizers, soup, sashimi, a choice of main course, rice, dessert, and coffee or tea. I opted for the tempura and the Shiretoko chicken and Kujo green onion hot plate sukiyaki for the main course, both of which were delicious. We enjoyed our meal with beer and sake, finishing a bottle of sake easily. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant. Overall, it was a great dining experience and I look forward to coming back. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited the restaurant for a special event and made a reservation. The staff was very friendly and approachable, which left a good impression on me. Personally, I found the meat to be very tender and deliciously cooked. The view outside was also very beautiful, making it a recommended place to visit for special events.

"The grand feast course (July-August) ¥8000: - Appetizer: A refreshing chilled soup with ground chili pepper, tender simmered octopus from Hokkaido, crab with miso, and crispy spring rolls with edamame. - Soup: Clear broth with fresh conger eel and Kyoto eggplant, topped with green onions and yuzu. - Sashimi: Assorted fresh fish of the day, including red snapper and amberjack. - Fried dish: Fried young ayu fish with summer vegetables and yuzu sauce. - Grilled dish: Grilled Yamagata Prefecture Hinata Ranch Kurobuta pork with grilled vegetables. - Rice: Eel and rice cooked together, served with various condiments and dashi broth for ochazuke. - Dessert: Panna cotta with red-fleshed melon. It was delicious, although perhaps my expectations were too high. Thank you for the feast."

Premier Hotel Sapporo Nakajima Park, 24th floor. This is my 1000th "visited" place. I was debating between choosing a course or a bento, but I decided on the course. I had informed them of my main dish preference when making the reservation. The prefix course included grated onion salad, which was very delicious. The sashimi was tuna and striped jack, and the eggplant soup was also tasty. The main dish was deep-fried young ayu with summer vegetables, and the tempura coating was unexpectedly firm. The rice with ground sansho pepper was also delicious. I recommend this place for a casual lunch.

You can feel the early summer of Hokkaido from the view of Nakajima Park from the window. You can't help but look at the 100th Anniversary Tower and the Sapporo Dome reflecting the sunset in the distance. I received a kind escort from the waitress and enjoyed a toast with sparkling wine. Tonight, I enjoyed the June "Grand Feast Course (¥8000)" and various types of sake to accompany the dishes. - Appetizer: Steamed abalone and shrimp with amber jelly, served with lucky beans, grilled trout with red miso, and grilled bamboo shoots. - Soup: Ayu fish in Yoshino style with jade eggplant, zucchini, and plum paste. - Sashimi: Big prawn and sea urchin, served with wasabi, shiso leaves, or as is. - Fried dish: Deep-fried beltfish and white asparagus in delicious broth. - Grilled dish: Roast Japanese beef with green asparagus, Inca wake, and paprika in fruit sauce, truffle salt, and fried garlic mustard. - Rice: Kettle-cooked rice with sakura shrimp, served with tender miso soup. - Dessert: Red meat melon juice and blancmange. Enjoy the taste of Hokkaido in every bite. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant as part of a stay at a premium hotel. It is located on the high floor of the hotel, so the view is very nice. I had the special banquet course, which featured mainly shellfish dishes such as grilled turban shell and abalone with crab meat. Everything was delicious. The main dish of roasted pork was fragrant, and the bamboo shoot rice had a nice crispy texture. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

On White Day, I used the Valentine's Day gift to my girlfriend for a lunch date. The service quality and manners of the staff at the restaurant were excellent and worth the price. I visited a while ago, so I don't remember the taste very well. I'm sorry! However, I think it was Japanese cuisine with a delicate taste. There wasn't anything that was super delicious or really bad. I feel like my feedback isn't very positive, so I'll stop here. But, the fact is that I had a great time with my girlfriend. Thank you very much! It was a great meal (*´ー｀*)

The location was good, the food was served one dish at a time. The atmosphere was nice, and the choice of three main dishes was enjoyable. It was a recommended restaurant for a slightly elegant lunch with friends for a small celebration or a long-awaited reunion. On a certain day in September, I received 1,000 points as a limited offer from a certain point service. It was a welcome surprise to receive 1,000 points after a long time, but I decided to use it for a fun experience rather than for accommodation, as there are now discounts for traveling within the prefecture. I had originally planned to go to "Wano Hachisouan", but ended up going to "Nadaman" with my sister on a previous occasion because the former was fully booked for the long weekend. It felt like fate, so I decided to choose this place. The course was 3,200 yen per person for three people, totaling 9,600 yen. With a coupon worth 2,200 yen that could be used for purchases over 9,000 yen and the 1,000 points received, we made a reservation for 6,400 yen for three people (practically one person for free). The restaurant operates on a reservation-only basis, but the deadline is one day before, making it relatively easy to make a reservation. There is an underground parking lot, and if you spend over 3,000 yen on food, parking is free for up to 3 hours, which is convenient. There are three main dishes to choose from, which you can select in advance on the reservation form. Since there were three of us, we each chose a different main dish. Due to the influence of the pandemic, the restaurant opens at 11:50 am. We arrived right on time. As it is located on the 24th floor, we took the elevator up. We were guided to our seats by a waitress, and we had a great view of Nakajima Park from the 24th floor. We were asked about drinks, but since it was not a special occasion, we were served warm tea. We had pre-ordered, so the dishes were brought out one by one. - Hachisouan Prefix Course 3,200 yen: - Appetizer: Autumn eggplant potage - a slightly rich flavor that seeps in. The large eggplant was juicy and delicious. Ginkgo nut and pine needle skewers - ginkgo nuts seasoned only with salt. Plump and with a good salt accent, it would make a great snack with alcohol. Persimmon with sesame and mustard - sweet persimmon with sesame sauce. The spicy mustard adds a nice kick, making this dish also delicious. - Warm dish: The soup dish was a turnip soup simmered in Yoshino style. It was said to contain red leaf sea bream. Although it was described as Yoshino style in the menu, the soup did not have much thickening agent, and the clear broth was deeply flavorful. The turnip was soft and soaked in the flavor throughout. The only disappointment was the red leaf sea bream. The plump sea bream lacked flavor when eaten, but the crispy skin was well grilled and had a fragrant aroma, as well as a fatty taste. The faint scent of yuzu at the end left a good impression! - Fresh dish: Salted and seared bluefin tuna sashimi substitute - I really liked this dish. I love sashimi, but this salted bluefin tuna was a first for me. There were 3 pieces, so I tried them in different ways. Eating it as it is - after feeling the saltiness, the umami of the bluefin tuna spreads in the mouth. Adding sudachi citrus - the acidity and umami of the bluefin tuna paired perfectly. This was my favorite way to eat it. Adding olive oil - it was like an Italian dish. It felt a bit heavy with the umami of the bluefin tuna and the oiliness of the olive oil. Perhaps the impression would have been different if it were not bluefin tuna, but skipjack or yellowfin tuna. - Choice of three main dishes: - Grilled large conger eel - Shabu-shabu of lamb loin - Tempura, which I chose. I first tried the shabu-shabu of lamb loin. The tantan was miso-based and not spicy, making it easy to eat. The mushroom extract was a nice touch. The seasoning was a bit strong, perhaps because it was an autumn menu. The grilled large conger eel that I chose unexpectedly had a light taste. It came with truffle salt, but I felt that there was a lot of conger eel and not enough salt. The conger eel itself was not seasoned much (I assume), so it was quite bland when eaten as is. I wished it had a bit more flavor.

Premier Hotel on the 24th floor, 97 meters above ground! A Japanese restaurant overlooking Nakajima Park below. After working during the New Year holidays, I treated myself to a rewarding lunch. Despite the anxiety of the increasing number of infections during weekend lunch hours, I felt reassured by the low risk of only having 2 groups dining and the option to choose the "prix-fixe course" for 3200 yen. I also enjoyed a glass of white wine, specifically Otaru Kellner for 850 yen, a crisp and refreshing dry wine that complemented the meal well. The meal consisted of: - Fried lotus root cake with white miso soup - Sashimi of red snapper and pickled beets with a mild vinegar flavor - Steamed pork and winter turnip with homemade sesame sauce and sweet baked apple - Main dish of red snapper and winter turnip hot pot with watercress and yuzu - Vinegared rice wrapped in bamboo leaves with shiitake mushrooms and dried gourd - Miso soup with Nameko mushrooms and seaweed - Pear sorbet for dessert, served with coffee or tea The meal was accompanied by complimentary parking for diners. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Today was a great day with lovely weather at the Premier Hotel right next to Nakajima Park on the 24th floor. It was a meeting between the families of my third son and his wife-to-be. The first dish of tofu and sea urchin was delicious! The ripe tomato dish, sea bream rice, and dessert were also great. Delicious food always makes conversations flow smoothly, even with first meetings. Although we couldn't drink alcohol due to the pandemic, it was probably for the best (laughs). I wonder if they also serve lunch here? I would love to come back with friends for lunch and enjoy the wonderful view!

Visited Hanayashiki-an for the first time. Opted for the prefixed course. Since lunch is by reservation only, there were no other customers around, allowing us to relax. The simmered turnip in the first picture was sweet, soft, and delicious, you could eat it whole. The other dishes were also very tasty. The service was great, and the view from the window overlooking Nakajima Park was lovely. It was a wonderful lunch experience.

I had a calm lunch meeting at a hotel with a stunning panoramic view. It was my first visit to the Susukino area, and the empty hotel lunch had a high-class feel. The lunch course was the only option, priced at 2,600 yen before tax. It may seem a bit pricey, but the colorful dishes were quite nice. The tempura included shrimp and eggplant, and there was a decent amount. The sashimi slices were small but fresh. The salad was average, and the steamed vegetables were healthy and lightly seasoned. The mushroom hot pot, although not made with matsutake mushrooms, was decent. The meal had a good balance of rice and side dishes, leaving me quite full. Dessert and coffee were included, making the overall price not too high for a hotel lunch. However, at 3,000 yen, it's still not cheap, but it's a convenient choice for those who want to have a leisurely conversation or discuss business matters that may be difficult in a busy city setting. The course might be a bit too much for women, but for men who want a satisfying lunch, it's a good option.

Feeling too tired to search for a restaurant, I decided to eat at the hotel's restaurant. Since I didn't have much of an appetite, I chose the cheapest course of Japanese cuisine, thinking it would be gentle on my stomach. And it was the right decision! The dishes were beautiful and delicious, and all my fatigue disappeared instantly. I don't remember the names of the dishes, but each one was carefully prepared and had a perfect taste. The steamed dish with a pot was filled with the aroma of matsutake mushrooms, and the flavor of the broth was truly soothing. The sashimi and the cuts of vegetables were incredibly smooth. The cross-section of the radish had a shining film of water, showing that the cell walls were not crushed. And of course, the sashimi was delicious! I was amazed by the skill of the chef. The staff in kimono were working efficiently. When I mentioned my food allergies, they immediately accommodated my request and remade a part of the dish. Among all the dishes, the sautéed barrel-front pork that impressed my friend who doesn't like pork was outstanding. The slightly burnt taste of the soy sauce-based sauce paired well with the sweet pork meat! I heard that the same course is even more affordable for lunch. If I were a local in Sapporo, I would definitely become a regular customer. The night view from the window was also nice!

Visited for the first time with someone during the year-end and New Year period. The restaurant is located on the 24th floor of the former Novotel, now Premier Hotel, so the view is great. I will leave the details of the food to the photos. The prices for drinks are on the higher side. The meal included caviar on top, shark fin sauce over rice, and dessert of custard cream and pudding. Although I managed to eat everything, I felt like I could have left some based on my personal preferences. There were plenty of staff members, but sometimes they didn't notice us or forgot our requests, so I can't say the service was functioning perfectly. In 2019, I hope to explore various Japanese cuisine restaurants in addition to sushi. Thank you in advance! ^ ^

I had the course meal and it was really delicious ^ ^

Sai-kyo Tsukemono: =========== The pickles at Sai-kyo are delicious and flavorful.

Bad value for money

A not very sexy lunch. The vendors prepared it for the staff because the only time available for a briefing was lunchtime. They prepared about 20 meals. I can't complain. It's probably expensive. When I opened the bento, I could see that they used a variety of ingredients. However, the main dish is uncertain. When I tried each one, they all had a refined flavor. It would be great for a variety of snacks with alcohol at night. But it doesn't really suit a lunch. I can finish it all, but I feel like I had a wasteful meal.

Welcome. ---------- April 2016 ----------Near Nakajima Park, there is a 24-floor hotel called Arthur, Novotel, and now Premier Hotel. Konnichiwa. A lady in a kimono and a man in a suit are briskly moving around and providing service. Lunch consists of traditional Japanese set meals and multi-course meals, enjoyed while overlooking Nakajima Park. Premier Hotel recently had a commemorative buffet, which was fully booked and required reservations. The large hall was filled with ladies and children making noise. The tables were a bit small and too close together. The main dish was pork shabu-shabu, with a refreshing and spicy grated daikon radish. The tempura included shrimp, pumpkin, sillago, white fish, and shiitake mushrooms. The tempura had a crispy texture and was served with rock salt instead of dipping sauce. The fried chicken was well-cooked, with a crispy coating and juicy meat. The sweet and sour fried wakasagi fish was tender. The eggplant and pork in cherry miso stir-fry had a sweet and savory miso sauce. The cutlet with foie gras was a delicacy from the French restaurant on the 25th floor. The silver cod marinated in miso was delicious, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette) was soft and fluffy. The sea urchin and squid were a delightful combination. The firefly squid with vinegar miso and sakura shrimp cooked rice were also highlights. The pickled kelp and cucumber salad with octopus head was refreshing. The carpaccio with salmon and sea urchin was a must-try. The sushi included tuna, salmon, golden-eye snapper, and squid. The pickles were crunchy and delicious. The drink options included coffee, orange juice, and water. The atmosphere was elegant and perfect for a refined dining experience. It is best to avoid bringing young children to this sophisticated setting. Thank you for the meal.

We had a Japanese cuisine kaiseki dinner at Wanoya Souan on the 24th floor of Novotel Sapporo, enjoying the night view and scenery. We reserved counter seats this time since there were only two of us. The counter was spacious and the lighting was dim, creating a calming atmosphere. The distance between us and the next customer at the counter was good, and there was a screen to provide privacy. The meal included: 1) Appetizers: homemade tofu, pickled yellowtail, and cabbage with sakura shrimp, paired with beer. 2) Sashimi: Botan shrimp, scallops, and tuna, with surprisingly delicious tuna. 3) Grilled dish and simmered dish: Seasonal fish was cod, and the simmered vegetables were carefully prepared. 4) Fried dish: Salmon and tofu skin tempura, scallops, and two types of vegetables. We added prawns for an additional charge. 5) We also added Kin-ki hot pot since it was a cold day. It had a whole Kin-ki fish half and was satisfying for two people. It was delicious and reasonably priced at 1890 yen. 6) For the main course, we had a perfect-sized ikura (salmon roe) bowl and clam soup, followed by homemade ice cream. We ordered Dewazakura Daiginjo Yuki Manman and Isojiman Junmai Ginjo for drinks. The former was slightly bland, but overall, the quality and cost of the food were good. However, there is room for improvement in the quality control of the sake.
