I used it at the end of my solo trip. - Assorted sashimi: The thickness was perfect, the taste was great, and it was very satisfying. - Grilled blowfish miso: It was mild but quite powerful, with a rough and spicy grated daikon that complemented it perfectly. - Meat and tofu: The local tofu was robust and soaked in dashi, yet the tofu flavor still stood out, surprising me. - Fresh sea urchin: The biggest hit. I wasn't a big fan of sea urchin, but this dish completely changed my mind. It felt like I had fully experienced the delicious food of the local Hakodate. It was not at all lonely dining alone, and the atmosphere was very nice. Local drinking parties are held frequently, and I can see why this place is loved. Thank you for the meal.

Jyoppari-san is a Japanese izakaya with a stylish sense of taste. They have dishes like crab miso gratin, pasta, and pizza. The crab miso gratin is rich and delicious, especially when eaten on a baguette. The sashimi and appetizers are also well-prepared and tasty. For dessert, they serve croissants, which are surprisingly good when heated in the oven and have a crispy texture with a hint of cinnamon on top. I wish they had a wider selection of drinks, especially different types of sake, but the sake they do have is delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I made a reservation in advance for the 5,500 yen all-you-can-drink plan starting from 17:30. The food was chef's choice. We started with a toast with Highball. The appetizers included homemade tofu, small shrimp and beans, and bamboo shoot with plum dressing, all of which were fresh and delicious. The sashimi consisted of tuna, salmon, octopus, and soy marinated in kelp, all very fresh. The marinated kelp was especially delicious. Grilled fish, such as salmon with rich fat, was also served. The grilled chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The tempura assortment included spring mountain vegetable tempura. Although soba was supposed to be served as a finale, I was too full to have it. The meat and fish were grilled on skewers over charcoal, giving them a delicious flavor. All the dishes were tasty, and the staff, mostly young part-timers, were working hard. I will definitely revisit. (April 2022)

This time, I visited a restaurant with a plan from a credit card company. They were very conscious of infection prevention measures from the moment I entered the store. I had heard that smoking was allowed, but fortunately there were no smokers that day! I felt like I had eaten a little too much for lunch, so I was worried if I could finish all the dishes when they were served, but everything was delicious and I finished them all! You can tell that each dish is carefully prepared. The Pacific saury, which is becoming a high-end fish, was delicious. The sake was only one choice, "Jyoppari," which is the same as the restaurant's name. I think there were four types: Junmai, Yamahai, Ginjo, and Daiginjo. If possible, I would have liked to have Aomori and Akita sake as well. I also wanted to know a little more about the wine selection if possible...

I revisited the popular restaurant Joppari in Suginami-cho after a few years. I used the course with all-you-can-drink option. It was nice that they serve Sapporo Classic beer. The charcoal-grilled dishes such as Hokke from Rausu and salt-grilled chicken were especially delicious. The soba noodles for the end of the meal were also elegant and satisfying.

In Suginami-cho, there is a izakaya called Joppari. The meat and fish were very delicious, especially the tuna namero meat dish was excellent. It is a cozy place, not suitable for large groups but perfect for 2 to 4 people. It was delicious! #Hakodate #Suginami-cho #Joppari

Located a little outside the bustling area of Hakodate city in Hokkaido, near Sugisawa Prison, hidden in front of Iwai Girls' High School, is a cozy little izakaya with a touch of creativity. It seems that this is an old established restaurant in Hakodate. While it may not fit neatly into the category of izakaya, it feels a bit disrespectful to call it a traditional restaurant. When I inquired, it was explained that it falls somewhere between a small restaurant and a traditional Japanese pub. Inside the small counter, the owner takes charge like a stage performer, while the wife busily serves customers and moves back and forth to the kitchen in the back. It becomes clear later that the young chef is in charge of the cooking, and he seems to have trained at a reputable Japanese cuisine restaurant. Starting with a refreshing draft beer, the chef's impressive service begins as he skillfully handles the charcoal grill behind the counter. The sashimi was delicious, as expected from a top-notch establishment in Hakodate. However, the real excitement lies in the creative dishes, particularly those cooked over the charcoal hearth that proudly stands inside the counter. The appetizers were delightful, and the crab miso gratin was simply amazing. The grilled Shiretoko free-range chicken over charcoal was rich in flavor. The tempura platter, reflecting the season of spring, was a treat. The nostalgic B-class snacks that followed, along with the classic dishes, were truly remarkable. We enjoyed talking, drinking, and eating to our hearts' content. Ultimately, when you're having a great time and the food is delicious, the details of the dishes become secondary. But that's because we're enjoying the tasty food and the pleasant atmosphere. After all, food and taste are not just about pleasing the palate, right? It's about experiencing joy and satisfaction in different ways, and that's the best part. It was a delightful experience. Thank you for the meal!

This place is recommended. It's a Japanese-style izakaya that is not typical of Hakodate. The food is delicious and affordable! You can enjoy a leisurely meal in a quiet atmosphere. The must-try dishes are the crab miso gratin and charcoal-grilled chicken. If they improve their selection of sake, I think this place will become even more popular. I will definitely go back!

The value of using Diners Executive Dining for 10,000 yen is questionable, but if you split it between two people, it has good cost performance, and each dish was delicious.

I tried uni and wagyu beef together for the first time - the saba crab miso gratin course came in a small regular dish, but when I looked at the people ordering one dish at a time, the one with the crab shell was larger and looked more delicious. The tempura included taro sprouts, asparagus, wild garlic, new onions, and rapeseed flowers in warm tempura sauce, along with salted potatoes. Inside a dome made of sweet potatoes, there was a meat and potato stew with a generous amount of sauce, which was comforting to eat. The firefly squid with yuzu pepper miso was rich in flavor, and the charcoal-grilled Hokkaido wagyu beef was delicious with a charcoal flavor. The uni and Hokkaido wagyu beef together made for a luxurious combination! The rice cooked with beans was served with hojicha ice cream and topped with freeze-dried cherry blossoms and black syrup. The restaurant had a counter with grilled fish and meat skewers, and it was a busy night. It seemed like a lot of effort was put into making the intricate dishes, so I would like to visit when it's not so crowded and enjoy the food at a leisurely pace. The parking lot is not right there, so it requires a bit of walking. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Tonight, I was invited by a local company in Hakodate to visit Sakana Nami Tomo Joppari in the Goryokaku area. When I saw the shop curtain, I thought they would serve dishes and sake mainly from Aomori, but it turns out the owner chose the name "Joppari" because he liked the Tsugaru dialect meaning "stubborn person." The restaurant is located near the center of Goryokaku, a bit off the main street, giving it a quiet atmosphere. I arrived slightly after 6 pm, and there were a few customers already. As time passed, more people came in, and by 7 pm, the restaurant was full with no reservations available. The meal was a course menu starting with appetizers, sashimi, meat dishes, fish dishes, main course, and dessert. The appetizers were elegantly presented in small beautiful dishes, each with a delicate and delicious flavor. The sashimi was fresh and cut into small pieces, while the local beef steak was tender and flavorful. The fish of the day was "hatata," which was firm and incredibly fresh, making it the best I've ever had. The course included surprising dishes like a cheese-based dish on a baguette, keeping things interesting and not boring. The dessert was a freshly baked croissant, which was a pleasant surprise and absolutely delicious. The meal ended with a refreshing sea bream tea rice dish. Each dish was uncompromising in quality, and the course was full of surprises and excitement. The only downside was that the portions were small but numerous, leaving you quite full. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience with a thoughtful and creative course. I apologize for only including photos of sumo wrestlers and the shop card due to the nature of the visit. I will add more photos on my next visit. I was introduced to a fantastic restaurant by the customers. Thank you for the meal!

I attended a New Year's party at this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. The exterior of the restaurant was stylish. I regretted arriving late and not being able to take photos. Inside, the atmosphere was elegant and different from your typical casual izakaya. The appetizer that I managed to take a photo of was also presented with a touch of elegance. The beer was served in cups rather than glasses. The dishes that came out were mostly delicious, although I felt the potato fries were a bit over-fried. The standout dishes for me were the delicious young chicken zangi, fluffy omelette, and fresh tempura. The dishes were served a bit slowly, almost as if they were individually prepared. We ordered a la carte this time, and the bill came out to just over 27,000 yen for four people. It was a bit of a surprise, but we did drink and eat quite a bit. This concludes my review from the visit on February 10, 2013.

I used it for a drinking party. We had a course meal and the sashimi was fresh, and the crab miso gratin was delicious. The course costs 5000 yen per person, so it's not exactly cheap. But I think the quality of the food is high. Rather than ordering a lot at a casual dining chain, I recommend this place for a satisfying meal at a drinking party. As for the atmosphere of the restaurant, I think it's perfect for having a lively time with friends or colleagues rather than a date.

I visited the restaurant "Sakana Nami Tomo Joppari" that I had been curious about for a while. The course includes all-you-can-drink for 5000 yen. The menu may vary depending on the ingredients, but overall, I was very satisfied with the taste, portion size, and price. The atmosphere is also nice. The all-you-can-drink menu (I recommend the sake joppari) included a pot of vegetables, salad, hokke fish, pizza, fresh oysters, teppanyaki chicken, and shime udon. Boiled peanuts were also served. The restaurant was very crowded due to the year-end season. One personal opinion is that if you pay for the party menu with a credit card, consumption tax will be added, which is a bit disappointing. So, I paid in cash this time. It's a restaurant that made me feel like visiting again.

I attended a New Year's party with friends, with a total of 6 people. It was the first time for all of us to visit this restaurant. We ordered individual dishes and opted for all-you-can-drink. We ordered dishes such as spinach salad, sashimi, deep-fried tofu with broth, and assorted skewers. The spinach salad was sweet and delicious. The pace of the meal was slow, and it took about 1 hour for the assorted skewers to arrive. The lemon sour drink from the all-you-can-drink menu was also tasty. The atmosphere was calm, with a clientele mainly in their 40s and older. The restaurant seemed more about stability than originality.

Today, I visited a restaurant with my classmates during my hometown visit. The atmosphere of the restaurant is great, and the owner and staff provide excellent and polite service. We started with homemade tofu, mashed beans, and bamboo shoot with plum dressing. They were all very delicious. For sashimi, we had bluefin tuna, salmon, octopus, and black soy. We also tried the grilled cherry princess chicken, Hakodate beef steak, crab miso gratin, and pork and onion skewers. Each dish was beautifully presented and appetizing. And of course, the taste was amazing. I apologize for not having photos, but please go and try for yourself with your eyes and taste buds. I am grateful to my classmates for choosing this restaurant.

I finally got to go. I had tried before but couldn't get a reservation. This time I made an early reservation and was able to make my first visit. The interior of the restaurant was larger than I expected. It was already bustling with customers. We sat at a table with three people. There was a hearth at the counter, creating a very nice atmosphere. The food tasted as good as the reviews say, but unfortunately many of the items I wanted to eat, like pizza, were sold out. However, it was delicious so I want to visit again at an earlier time. It's recommended for going with company bosses or colleagues. The sashimi was fresh, and it's a calm restaurant that adults frequent.

I have visited this restaurant several times, and it's surprising that there are no reviews on Tabelog because it's such a good place. Although the dishes may take a bit of time to come out, the overall taste is delicious. I haven't had any regrets ordering anything here. Some memorable dishes include the crab miso gratin, pork chop bowl, and the fried foods were also tasty. They even have Thai curry, which was a nice mild red curry. I would love to go back just to eat here. I will definitely be coming back for drinks as well.
