The reunion party was great, even though it was just a part of it! The main dish was motsunabe, with a rich salty broth that was delicious! There was also bonito tataki, salmon sashimi, vegetable salad, chicken karaage, and teba karaage, among others, although I forgot some dishes because I didn't have photos. I think there was a dessert and a finale dish too? There are many private rooms where you can relax. It's a unique restaurant that is cheap and even offers game meat. It's also nice to have a casual drink alone at the counter! Even at this age, drinking with colleagues is calming (^-^) I will visit again. Thank you for the meal (^o^)

Night of the second day in Sapporo. During the day, my wife and I went shopping around, and we returned to the hotel after 5:00 PM. When we called the yakiniku restaurant we wanted to try, they didn't answer the phone even though they were supposed to be open. It was too much trouble to look for another place, so I convinced my wife to try "Minna de Korerumon," a place I had wanted to visit. We entered the restaurant at 5:30 PM (just 30 seconds walk from the hotel exit) and were seated at a table with a sunken kotatsu. We ordered the all-you-can-drink option for 120 minutes, of course starting with draft beer. Here is what we ate: - Cherry liver and cherry tongue tataki: The unique flavor of the liver was delicious, and the cherry tongue had a good texture. - Domestic chicken breast tataki: Sweet and tasty chicken sashimi, really delicious. - Spicy shrimp salad chosen by my wife: A large plate of spicy shrimp salad with a generous amount, very tasty. - Today's recommended dish, spicy miso stir-fried Hokkaido pork intestines: Also delicious with a spicy kick. After spending an hour and a half in the restaurant, I had 8 glasses of beer with the all-you-can-drink option and called it a night. I feel bad for my wife for having to deal with my drunkenness. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal!

In May 2023, I went to a bar with a colleague from my first job, even though we are now at our third workplace together. It's funny how our first and third jobs ended up being the same. We've known each other for almost 40 years now. We met up at Sapporo Station, a popular nightlife spot for salarymen, called "Hokkaido-tori Building." We talked about our past experiences and future plans, reflecting on our long careers as salarymen. We discussed the ups and downs of life, the uncertainties, and the unfairness of it all. But we also agreed that everyone is equal in the eyes of God, and we won't know what kind of life was best until the very end. We enjoyed a drink-all-you-can deal for 60 minutes at 759 yen, with a variety of fresh sashimi dishes like chicken tataki and a sashimi platter with mackerel, octopus, and cherry salmon. The fried tofu, octopus dumplings, and konjac were also surprisingly good choices. It was a nice evening catching up with my colleague over some good food and drinks. Maybe we should do this more often.

Located in the basement of a building in a dining area just a few minutes' walk from the station, this restaurant used to offer lunch for a low price, but now it has increased to 600 yen. You must pay upfront before entering, and they only accept cash for lunch. The seating is at the counter, and the interior allows smoking, although the air conditioning seems to keep the smoke from spreading too much. Despite a slight delay in receiving my order, the meat and vegetable stir-fry I got was impressive with a generous amount of vegetables piled high on a large plate. The seasoning was a bit strong, but the abundance of vegetables made it a satisfying meal, especially for those on business trips. Although it may seem like there's not much meat at first glance, it's just hidden beneath the mountain of vegetables. This dedication to providing such a large portion is commendable, even with the recent price increase. The service was polite, but by 1:10 pm, a sign outside indicated that they were preparing to close. Despite my previous reconnaissance visit where I encountered the same sign, it seems that this popular spot tends to sell out quickly. In the evenings, they offer a 759 yen all-you-can-drink deal for one hour, with an additional 385 yen for an appetizer.

I decided to try this restaurant because it had a good reputation and the food looked delicious. I went in the early evening, and there were no other customers. They told me to leave in 2 hours since I didn't have a reservation. I decided to go for the all-you-can-drink option for sake, and for food, I wanted to order oysters and sashimi, but they were both unavailable. I ended up ordering tofu and pickles, but I couldn't stay for the full 2 hours and left for another restaurant. It was a bit disappointing that the menu items I wanted were not available, and I wish they had informed me before I sat down.

I had often seen this restaurant on Tabelog and decided to visit for the first time. In conclusion, everything I ate was delicious! The photos show lamb sashimi, mentaiko tamagoyaki, and steamed crab shumai, but the boneless chicken wings, sweet potato tempura, and cucumber sashimi with plenty of wasabi were also delicious. I must come back again! I enjoyed plenty of highballs too!

During a regular lunchtime, I found myself around Sotetsu Building, which was unusual for me. I was looking for a place to eat among the salarymen. It was my first time coming here for lunch, so I ventured down to the basement of the building. I chose "Minna de Koreru Mon" from the few restaurants offering lunch. After some deliberation, I decided on the "Fried Chicken Set @500" from the menu, which included four one-coin lunch options. The restaurant operated on a pay-first system during lunch hours, and I paid in cash. The interior of the restaurant was like a company cafeteria, almost full of customers. In about 7 minutes, my meal arrived. It consisted of a large amount of cabbage with dressing, five pieces of fried chicken on the side, two pickled vegetables on top of rice, and miso soup. The rice was slightly clumped together, which was disappointing. The miso soup was a bit salty with seaweed and green onions as ingredients. The freshly fried chicken was not very big, but it was crispy, fragrant, and had a soy sauce flavor with a mild sweetness. It was definitely worth the price. The amount of cabbage was surprisingly large, and I struggled a bit, but I managed to finish it. Overall, it was a great deal for one coin. Looking around, it seemed that dishes like "fried chicken" and "ginger pork" were popular, but next time, I would like to try the stir-fried vegetables or grilled fish. Thank you for the meal.

Around 7:30 pm on December 19, 2020, there weren't many customers due to the pandemic. The chain restaurant offered all-you-can-drink (by the hour) at a very cheap price. The food was delicious, including duck sashimi, grilled oysters, staff meal, rolled omelet, octopus cucumber kimchi, tsukune, and grilled hokke. The total cost with the all-you-can-drink option was around 6000 yen. The staff was friendly, but the service was a bit slow considering the place was not crowded.

This shop is located in the underground dining area of the Second Doori Building near the west exit of Sapporo Station. The building is known for having several budget lunch spots, as featured on a local TV information program. I first found out about it when I attended a lunchtime classical concert organized by Rokkatei Honten nearby in January 2020 and decided to eat here on my way back. Unfortunately, I forgot my phone at home that day, so I couldn't take any pictures to write a review. I planned to come back for the next lunch concert in March, but it got canceled due to the pandemic, so I couldn't visit for a while. On this day, I had some business near Sapporo Station, so I decided to revisit and ordered the same "Meat and Vegetable Set Meal" (500 yen) with extra servings of side dishes (+100 yen) as last time. The rice came with two pieces of miso-pickled vegetables on top, and miso soup was included. It's a simple and affordable pub lunch, and the option to get extra servings for only 100 yen is a nice touch. The portion was too much for me, so I ended up taking some home as usual, but the cost performance is great. The taste is like a hearty meal for men, not bad at all. You can also order their lunch as a bento for takeout, but it won't come with miso soup. This shop offers very affordable all-you-can-drink options in the evening, although the food items may not be as cheap. It's more suitable for those who want to focus on drinking and only order the required two food items. I took a photo of the cheapest course, but there are slightly more expensive all-you-can-drink courses that offer a wider variety of drinks in small increments. I definitely want to come back again (probably for lunch). Thank you for the meal.

Meat meat meat! I want to eat meat! So, I went to this restaurant. The main reason I chose this place is because they have lamb sashimi! Amazing! I want to try it! It was Saturday, so I made a reservation, which was a great decision because it was so crowded. It seems to be really popular. The staff seemed busy, but they were friendly and I liked the service. Unfortunately, the limited quantity menu item I was interested in was sold out. I ended up ordering two types of chicken sashimi, horse liver sashimi (a favorite of mine!), chicken wings, and crab dumplings. It was a real meat festival! The lamb sashimi was incredibly delicious! It looked like beef sashimi, but when you eat it, it tastes like lamb! There was no gamey taste, just a strong lamb flavor. The horse liver sashimi was also rich and tasty! It cost around 1580 yen, but it was definitely worth it. The chicken sashimi was still frozen and large, which was a bit disappointing for me. I prefer it when it's thinly sliced with green onions on top. The chicken wings and crab dumplings were recommended and they were delicious. The restaurant has a 90-minute time limit for seating, but they offer a course where beer is 250 yen and cocktails are 150 yen, making it quite affordable to eat and drink. I can see why this place is so popular! It's a great restaurant for meat and alcohol lovers. Thank you for the meal!

It's been quite a while, but I saw the word "ちょい飲み" (casual drinking) and decided to check it out. They still offer all-you-can-drink, but they have also introduced a new option called "ちょい飲み". Beer is only 250 yen. There seems to be a time limit for seating, but no restrictions on the number of items you can order. Let's start with a beer. The appetizer was marinated squid. Unfortunately, there was only foam on the beer. The snacks included cheese tofu and chicken tataki with green onion and ponzu sauce. There were also various other small dishes on the menu. It's really nice for solo drinkers. I enjoyed my solo drinking with additional beers. I also added some potato fries, which came in a small portion. It's great! I thought it might be a lot to order two items with the all-you-can-drink option, but this was just right. The cheese tofu goes well with beer! The chicken tataki also pairs nicely with beer! And the portion size is really good! Finally, I enjoyed my third beer with steamed chicken and wasabi. It's 60 yen more expensive than the all-you-can-drink option. If you drink four beers, the all-you-can-drink option might be better. But for me, who prefers smaller portions, this was perfect. It seems like they will continue to offer "ちょい飲み" for a while. I definitely feel like coming back again.

We chose a restaurant that only closes on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day for our New Year's couple drinking in Sapporo. When we arrived, the building itself seemed dead, but luckily there was "Minna de Koreru Mon" right next to it. They immediately told us, "You can stay for 1 hour." We weren't planning on staying for more than an hour, so it was an attractive offer for us. Even though the closing time was near, the place was crowded, showing that it's a popular spot. We opted for the all-you-can-drink option, which was cheap and easy to make up for with just 2 drinks. The food options were limited to 2 items, which was a bit disappointing for us. The appetizer was lotus root with sesame oil, which had a soft texture and was tasty. The edamame turned out to be roasted soybeans, which were delicious. I ordered chicken skewers with salt and pork skewers with sauce, while my partner ordered a pickled vegetable assortment and roasted soybeans. The skewers were simple but good, with a decent amount of meat on them. The seasoning was not too strong, and we enjoyed them. The staff also asked us about our drinks, which we appreciated. Overall, we had a good experience and enjoyed the food and drinks.

Since drinking at Asou, it's been a while since I had a girls' night out with three drinking buddies♪ We were planning to go to the ham cutlet shrine in this building, but ended up at a different place because it was full. The all-you-can-drink deal here is cheap! Even though I satisfied my beer craving with one drink, it's also okay to not have beer. 60 minutes of all-you-can-drink without beer for 390 yen, appetizer for 350 yen, and food is ordered by two items per person. We had deer shabu-shabu for two people at 2560 yen, 4 boneless chicken wings for 500 yen, watermelon and avocado Caesar salad for 720 yen, and edamame for 380 yen. We finished with champon for 320 yen. It was my first time having deer shabu-shabu! They cooked it just right so it was delicious. The chicken wings were exactly what I wanted. Since the deer meat was light, I also wanted juicy meat that went well with beer. Dosuika, which I wondered about, is actually harvested in Hokkaido. The deep-fried dish and avocado salad were a good match. When drinking with friends, you can try dishes that you wouldn't choose on your own, which is nice. We extended the all-you-can-drink deal and cleared the food quota. We're done for today. The total bill was 8650 yen.

Three women challenged the 60-minute all-you-can-drink deal at Rindo in Dotonbori Building. They were rejected by Hamukatsu Shrine but managed to come here together (^^)b It was Wednesday at 7 pm. They were led to a private room, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was unknown. Laughter could be heard from various places, creating a lively mood. They started with the 60-minute all-you-can-drink deal for 390 yen per person, with a requirement to order at least 2 items. They didn't need beer since they had enough at the previous place. Of course, one hour was not enough, so they happily moved on to the second hour (*＾-＾)ノ■☆■ヾ(＾-＾*) Cheers! They ordered a 350 yen appetizer of crunchy kikurage mushrooms, followed by deer shabu-shabu for 1280 yen (2 servings) and finished with champon noodles for 320 yen. The deer meat was thinly sliced and frozen, and the friendly staff helped them cook it in the pot. Surprisingly, the deer meat had a delicious flavor, and they enjoyed it while chatting and laughing. They also ordered additional drinks and food by pressing the "ping-pong" button on the table to call the staff. Drinks were served promptly, while food items took a bit longer. They ordered plum wine, whiskey highball, boneless fried chicken wings (500 yen for 4), and a Caesar salad with watermelon and avocado for 720 yen. The salad was huge and a great deal. They also ordered edamame for 380 yen to help with digestion. After two hours of fun, the bill came to 8,650 yen for the three of them. It was a long-overdue drinking session, and they had a great time being taken care of by the most mature young person among them. It was a funny scene of two older ladies being looked after by a younger woman.

We arrived at Sapporo Station with two of my subordinates for a management meeting combined with a meal. We reserved a private room with all-you-can-drink beer. We started with a toast and asked for recommendations. The recommended dishes were Pacific saury sashimi and pheasant hot pot. We also ordered deboned chicken wings, Ezo deer lamp meat skewers, oyster fry, shrimp chili salad, dashimaki tamago, and roasted deer. Oh, didn't we order grilled Atka mackerel too? Anyway, the food here is delicious, and the lively staff members are great! The addition of game meat to the menu is interesting. The Pacific saury sashimi, pheasant hot pot, and deer were particularly tasty! I learned something new with the pheasant hot pot chopsticks being placed in carbonated water. The service was quick and efficient, and overall, it was a satisfying meal. We stopped discussing difficult topics while enjoying the food. Thank you for the meal!

Visit date: 1/16/2019 On this bitterly cold day, after work, I met up with my brother-in-law and we all went to the Koremon Sapporo Station Nishiguchi Mae store. We arrived around 6 pm and were led to a private room. We opted to extend the 60-minute 490 yen all-you-can-drink option to 120 minutes. We started with a toast with Sapporo Classic beer! The appetizer was mentaiko potato salad. We had the following dishes: - Salmon sashimi: The freshness was decent. - Boneless chicken wings: Easy to eat since the bones were removed. - Dashimaki tamago: A delicious dashi-flavored rolled omelette. - Nagaimo potato: Regretted ordering this as it was coated in old oil. Since the all-you-can-drink option is affordable, we will continue to visit in the future.

"I always end up coming alone to 'Minna de Korerumon' where everyone can come together. But the other customers all come in groups! The place fills up quickly, with about 80% full in no time. If you enter before 6pm, the all-you-can-drink deal becomes even more cost-effective, like a happy hour. It's already a good deal without it, so it's much appreciated. I always start with the classics. I always order two dishes, so today I enjoyed the salmon sashimi and dashimaki tamago by myself. The appetizer was a spring roll with a salt sauce flavor. It goes well with beer. Under the salmon sashimi, there were sliced onions hidden, quite a generous amount, and with a bit of spiciness. It became a perfect snack with beer, and I finished it all. I wanted to order more variety, but I couldn't eat anymore. The dashimaki tamago had a soft and gentle taste. The grated daikon radish served with it was neatly shaped. I don't visit here often, but the staff always remember me and always greet me. They are all very kind and have natural smiles. I feel a bit sorry, but I only had three beers today. I will definitely come back next year. That's how I feel."

This was my first business trip to Sapporo, and my friends and I found this restaurant that seemed very Sapporo-like. Surprisingly, they offer all-you-can-drink for 690 yen per hour. If you prefer happoshu instead of draft beer, it's only 590 yen. And if you stick to sour drinks, it's 490 yen. Well, we went for the 690 yen course as we enjoy draft beer, cold sake, and shochu on the rocks. If you go over an hour, you just pay for what you drank. They also serve fresh shishamo sashimi this season. We ordered that along with mackerel sashimi. The deer meat skewers we tried for the first time were tender and delicious, and the oysters were great too. It was a reasonably priced place where we had a great time.

Visited Koremon after work on 8/21. This was my third visit. We were the first ones there and were seated in a private room. We ordered the 1-hour all-you-can-drink special for 290 yen from 5-6 pm. Started with a toast with beer. The appetizer was simmered lotus root. We had homemade cheese tofu, Koremon's special boneless chicken wings, Hokkaido grilled oysters, the original dashi rolled omelette, and chicken heart skewers with salt. The food was delicious and the drinks were cheap. Highly recommend this izakaya.

Visit date 18/7/25 On this day, it was over 30 degrees Celsius in Sapporo. After work, we went to Koreumon with everyone. Since we didn't make a reservation, we sat at the counter seats. First, we ordered the 120-minute all-you-can-drink for 980 yen, and toasted with barley, hops, and ginger ale. The appetizer was simmered bamboo shoots. We also ordered Koreumon's special boneless chicken wings, which were deboned and easy to eat, very delicious. The homemade cheese tofu had a rich cheese flavor and was delicious. The horse sashimi with salt sauce yukhoe was fresh and paired well with beer. We also had 3 grilled oysters from Senpoushi in Kushiro, which were plump and delicious. The Koreumon's original dashimaki tamago was excellent, with a strong dashi flavor. The onigiri with mentaiko was enjoyed by the non-drinking wife. Koreumon is a great place to enjoy both affordable all-you-can-drink and delicious food. We will definitely visit again!

Due to the year-end rush, we were told in a high-handed manner that there was no reservation upon entering, and we had to wait for quite some time. The food was delicious, but it took a long time to come out. (We were told that the seating time was 2 hours, but we ended up staying for over 4 hours due to the delayed food arrival.)
