The soba noodles are made from locally sourced buckwheat flour, giving them a strong texture, and the natural seaweed adds a unique umami flavor. The noodles have a rich aroma, a light and refreshing taste, and a strong texture.

Friday at noon. I made a reservation for a table and met up with my close friend who has a small appetite. It's nice to be able to drink with friends now that the COVID restrictions have been lifted. We were led to a cozy second-floor table with dim lighting and stylish light bulbs, seating ourselves across from each other. The atmosphere was lovely and got us excited! We ordered the daily course menu for 2,200 yen each, which included appetizers, soup, today's special dish, soba noodles, dessert, and coffee. The estimated time was about an hour and a half. First, we ordered beer! Sapporo Perfect Classic draft beer for 680 yen each. Cheers! It was delicious to drink beer with my friend after a long time. The appetizers included salmon quiche, chicken ham, smelt marinated, and leafy vegetables. The conversation flowed along with the appetizers, and we ordered two more beers. The fish broth soup was next, and we enjoyed it slowly as we waited for the dishes to arrive. We ordered glasses of white wine for 710 yen each. The special dish was fried cod and burdock with américaine sauce, served with herb bread. The fluffy cod with rich shrimp sauce and crispy fried burdock was delightful. We couldn't stop chatting, so we ordered more wine. We had soba noodles made with seaweed, which were black and twisted. They were easy to eat due to their short length, and we tried them with wasabi and nori, but they didn't have much addictive quality. For dessert, we had Catalan cream, chocolate cake, and soft drinks. We chose yuzu tea in both iced and hot versions. We spent a total of 2 and a half hours there and paid a total of 9,960 yen for two people. We didn't feel rushed and had a great time chatting leisurely, but the serving pace of the restaurant was slower, taking 2 and a half hours. It might be better to avoid it if you're in a hurry. We ended up drinking more than we planned, which was both good and bad. I was surprised that my friend with a small appetite finished everything.

I saw the photos and felt like I absolutely had to go there and try the food someday. I bookmarked it. This is a review for "Sapporo Modern Restaurant Erimo-tei." The exterior has a high-class Japanese restaurant feel. I visited after researching the lunch menu on Tabelog and thought I could enjoy it. I ordered based on the visual appeal. I had the New Manmaru Tomato Cheese Curry with rice, salad, and half-sized soba for 1,800 yen. I also had the Vegetable and Kurobuta Seiro with mixed rice, soba, and dessert for 1,650 yen. The menu with a whole tomato on top was impressive! Both dishes were satisfying and delicious. The soba was also tasty. I will definitely go back again! Thank you for the meal, Sapporo Modern Restaurant Erimo-tei!

On a certain weekday, I visited a restaurant called Erimo Misaki, located on the north side of Sapporo Station's north exit. The entrance looked a bit upscale, with a dark interior and a high-end burnt brown color scheme. The red fabric chairs added a nice touch, and there was also outdoor terrace seating. Japanese pop music played in the background. I decided to try the "Hokkaido vegetables and Oshamanbe black pork seiro (1650 yen)" with cold soba. The dish looked luxurious and the thick slices of black pork loin on top of the springy noodles were delicious. The dish also included steamed cabbage, purple cabbage, shimeji mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli, potatoes, and a light dashi-flavored omelette, all drizzled with refreshing ponzu sauce. The cold soba that came in a separate bowl was flavorful and had a good texture, served in a sweet and light cold broth. The chirashi sushi in a chawanmushi cup was cute and consisted of tempura crumbs, small rice crackers, chopped seaweed, marinated tuna, white fish, and egg, all on a bed of lightly vinegared rice. Lastly, I enjoyed a bite-sized chocolate cake with a strawberry. Overall, the restaurant seemed to cater to tourists, but the lunch was reasonably priced and suitable for locals as well. It provided a quiet and elegant space for mature ladies to enjoy a peaceful conversation. Thank you for the meal.

I discovered a restaurant that doesn't seem to be common at the Zatsueki North Exit, so I decided to visit. The interior of the restaurant, designed by a British person in a 70-year-old inn, is stylish. It seems suitable for special occasions or business entertainment. I ordered the modern course menu, and each dish was delicious and the portion size was just right. The fried cherry salmon was especially tasty. The buckwheat noodles at the end had a unique texture, almost like crunchy countryside soba noodles. It seems like they also serve lunch, so I'll come back next time to try their soba noodles main dish.

The restaurant was full, even at 1 pm, but the atmosphere was nice both during the day and at night. I managed to find a seat at the counter and ordered the Tomato Cheese Curry and the Yukis's No-Water Vegetable Curry with rice and salad. The Tomato Cheese Curry was beautifully presented and tasted light and refreshing. The Tomato had a slight tanginess, which paired well with the creamy cheese and curry. The salad at the end was a nice touch. The white rice was delicious too. The Cold Soba was made with black buckwheat mixed with natural seaweed, giving it a strong texture. The broth had a gentle flavor of kelp, making it a refreshing dish. It would be a great way to end a night of drinking or as a light lunch option. Overall, the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This shop is located near Sapporo Station, heading north along Tarukawa Street from the west side of Yodobashi Camera, then turning left (west) onto Nakadori before reaching Dospara. I had been here once before and had a discounted meal on the terrace with a group purchase coupon or something similar. This is my second visit after a long time. I saw it listed on Sapporo's crowdfunding list, so I decided to come back. The interior of the shop has a slightly dim but stylish bar-like atmosphere, and there is also a terrace seating available during the summer. I was seated at the counter this time. I ordered the "Hokkaido vegetable and pork seiro" lunch set (1650 yen), which came with chirashi sushi, soba noodles, and a mini dessert. The soba noodles were quite thick, more like inaka soba. Personally, I like thicker soba noodles, but these were a bit too thick for my liking. The steamed vegetables and pork were delicious and went well with the ponzu sauce. I would love to try it again. The dessert was a chocolate cake with strawberries. I have a slight visual impairment (I have surgery scheduled soon), and the dark interior made it difficult for me to see. However, a young female staff member kindly guided me, which I greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I found a nice-looking restaurant while wandering around and decided to visit. The prices seemed high, but I saw that lunch could be eaten for around 1000 yen, so I went in. The interior was so stylish that I was glad I came. I ordered the daily course for 1680 yen, which included pate and vegetables for the appetizer, pumpkin soup, crispy grilled salmon, collar soba noodles, and dessert. The portions were small, so I didn't feel full, but it was a nice meal to enjoy in the afternoon. The most delicious dish was the catalana. Next time, I want to try the porcini mushroom soba!

I had been avoiding going out due to my back pain in September 2020. I even turned down lunch invitations. But then I received a message saying, "You're going to eat chicken cutlet, right?" What does that mean? They said they wanted to bring me a meal since I couldn't go out for lunch. It was a kind gesture, but I still had to get up and get ready to accept it, meaning I was actually in a condition to go out after all. So I ended up going to lunch at Erimotei near the north exit. It was a Tuesday afternoon, so I was technically working, even though I was recovering at home. I'm such an annoying woman! I should probably stop accepting calls on weekday mornings, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's all fun and games though! Now, onto the food I had: I had the round tomato cheese curry with half-sized soba for 1,350 yen. There was a whole tomato in the center of the round plate, which you crush to add tomato flavor. It's delicious on its own, but when you add cream cheese, it becomes even creamier. It's a tasty curry! In terms of portion size, it's quite elegant. The interior of the restaurant is stylish. If you're dining alone, I recommend sitting at the counter downstairs. For a group of ladies, the tables on the second floor are great. And if you have a small party, there are private rooms available. Overall, it's a great place for various occasions.

A super stylish restaurant located on the backside of Yodobashi Camera, near the north exit of Sapporo Station. It had been about two years since my last lunch visit, but the atmosphere and prices seemed unchanged. Upon opening the door of the all-black wooden house, it felt like entering a different world. We started lunch around 1:30 PM, with about half of the seats occupied. It was a lunch meeting combined with work. The elaborate menu was reminiscent of a traditional Japanese bento box, but I couldn't resist ordering the kombu soba, which had a unique texture with kombu mixed into the soba noodles, giving them a glossy black appearance. The smooth texture of the noodles was truly satisfying. The clam rice set was seasoned lightly, which suited my taste perfectly. Oh well, it's a carb-heavy meal today. I will definitely come back again.

I wanted to go to this restaurant located in a back alley behind Sapporo Station North Exit. It seemed to be full, so I had to wait a bit. There is also a basement and a second floor. The single house restaurant has a nice atmosphere, which raised my expectations. The soba noodles were thick, requiring a good chew. The tempura was large and a bit difficult for ladies to eat, but I managed to bite into it. It contained vegetables and mushrooms. After the meal, I added some black tea. A pot with tea bags was brought out, which was a bit nostalgic. My companion wanted to drink iced coffee, but unfortunately, they didn't have it in winter. It's a shame. I was able to enjoy my meal in a relaxed manner and I thought I would like to come back again. Thank you for the meal.

I used this restaurant for a business dinner on a weekday night. The dim and calm lighting was to my liking. The seating options include a long table on the basement floor, table seats and a counter on the first floor, and private rooms on the second floor, making it very versatile. This time, we were guided to a private room on the second floor, which had an 8-person table. The space behind the seats was a bit narrow, but overall it was a good room. Since it's not a completely private room, you can't have confidential conversations. Tonight, we had a course with all-you-can-drink for 6600 yen. The menu included shrimp marinade, prosciutto and tomato with balsamic sauce for appetizers, sashimi with sweet shrimp, turban shell, and white fish, brandade wrapped in crispy skin, caprese-style garlic shrimp, seafood and oyster gratin, red wine-braised collar short horn beef, and soba noodles. The food was delicious, but nothing particularly stood out. The service from the staff was good, making it suitable for business use. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a modern-looking soba restaurant near Sapporo Station North that I had been curious about for lunch. The interior was modern with Western music playing in the background. I sat at the counter and ordered the limited lunch set for 980 yen, which included soba, mixed rice, tempura, salad, dessert, and a half portion of soba. The soba had a smooth texture and a mild flavor, while the mixed rice had chopped clams for a nice texture and flavor. The tempura was crispy and delicious, especially when dipped in salt. The portion size was surprisingly generous for the price. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Before heading to a 1 pm appointment within walking distance, I decided to grab a bite to eat before leaving the office. I was undecided on what to eat, but then I saw a sign that caught my eye. Although the neighboring set meal restaurant was tempting, I was drawn to this place based on my mood. I arrived just before 12 pm and found several customers already inside the slightly old-fashioned Western-style building. I took a seat at the counter and looked at the lunch menu. I noticed a "limited lunch" option which included tempura, soba noodles, and seasonal rice, along with salad and dessert. I inquired and found out it was the last one available, so I quickly decided to order it. Phew, that was a close call! The meal arrived in about 15 minutes. First, I tried the soba noodles, which had seaweed from Rishiri Island kneaded into them. The unique curly shape of the noodles was interesting, and they had a firm texture. The subtle seaweed aroma paired well with the kelp-flavored broth. The rice dish was "tsubu-meshi," which included chewy clams and had a gentle seasoning and perfect cooking. The texture of the clams added a nice touch. It was delicious. As for the tempura, it was average. The thickly fried pieces made it a bit difficult to eat, but it was nice to be able to make my own tempura soba. The presentation, lighting, and overall atmosphere of the place were calm and modern, allowing me to enjoy a leisurely lunch without feeling rushed. I felt quite elegant. Next time, I think I'll try the Western-style dish. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a stylish restaurant with 8 friends, where we had a course meal and all-you-can-drink in a private room. The restaurant is a renovated old passenger house made of wood. The food was varied, including dishes with cheese, beef stew-like dishes, and even soba noodles. The soba noodles had a unique, firm texture.

On the final day of my business trip to Sapporo, I met up with a friend at Sapporo Station for lunch. We walked to the restaurant together. Due to a heavy night of drinking the day before, I was feeling terrible that day. I was relieved when my friend suggested having some light soba noodles for lunch. When we arrived at the restaurant, I was surprised to see how stylish and chic it was. The first floor had a casual L-shaped counter and two 4-person tables. It felt like a casual French restaurant. I ordered cold soba noodles, considering my hangover. The soba noodles were thick and chewy, requiring a bit of effort to chew rather than slurping them down. Normally, I can eat a lot, but due to my severe hangover, I unfortunately had to give up halfway through the meal. I felt bad for not finishing the dish that was prepared with care. I hope to come back and try it again when I'm feeling better next time.

On a hot day, three of us visited this stylish restaurant for lunch. We were seated at a spacious table on the first floor. Each of us ordered soba noodles for lunch. The soba noodles here were slightly thicker and smooth, without any sharp edges. It was a bit challenging for me, but I managed to get the hang of it! My dad commented, "It has more chewiness than I expected." That's true! The "Tsubu Gohan" that my dad was eating looked delicious (^▽^)/ Each dish was carefully crafted, and the tempura was crispy!

I went to this restaurant based on a recommendation from a colleague. Although I had reserved a table on the first floor with a view outside, I was seated on the second floor due to a mix-up. However, the second floor had a cozy atmosphere with semi-private booths separated by curtains. I had the lunch course, which included appetizers, salad, today's fish dish, collar-seaweed natural seaweed buckwheat soba, and dessert, all of which were intricately prepared. The standout dish was the soba noodles. I usually prefer thinner more delicate noodles, but the seaweed-infused curly soba noodles were a pleasant surprise and delicious! I also received a complimentary drink, herbal tea, when I made a reservation online. Although the portions were on the smaller side, I left satisfied with the ambiance of the restaurant and the taste and presentation of the dishes.

I was craving soba and looking for a place near Sapporo Station when I came across a restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Despite its dark exterior that made it seem intimidating to enter, the lunch was reasonably priced and the staff were polite, so I thought it was worth a try. By the time I arrived, the limited lunch set was sold out, so I ordered the regular soba lunch set instead. The set included soba, rice with toppings, salad, and a choice of tempura. I chose the salad, but my friend's tempura looked delicious and substantial. The noodles were hand-made with a good elasticity, and I enjoyed the chewy texture of the added ingredient inside. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal!
