The bento box came with tempura, rice, and miso soup. It was made by the hotel and everything was delicious. The bento box was packed full of properly cooked dishes. The grilled beef came with rock salt on the side. The sashimi was also fresh and satisfying. The tempura included small fish which was a nice touch. In the private room entrance, there were chairs from Umeda Shotoku lined up!

The dining at the hotel has a calming Japanese touch. I chose a limited meal as I stayed there. Hokkaido offers many sweet potato dishes, which become more delicious with age due to their subtle taste. It may be too mild for younger people. Drinks are self-service, and there are desserts available too. They also provide containers for taking coffee to go.

The view of the well-kept Japanese garden from the window adds a touch of luxury. The breakfast set here includes three options, all for 3,000 yen. It may seem reasonable for a prestigious hotel breakfast, with a variety of dishes that look lavish. I chose the vegetable set to recover from last night's drinking. Other than grilled Atka mackerel and rolled omelette, it consisted of vegetarian dishes with vegetables, sweet potatoes, and tofu. Sometimes, a set meal like this is nice. Thank you for the meal.

The hors d'oeuvre with scallops and jellyfish salad, Shaoxing wine-marinated eggs mixed with champagne, dried kinki fish with wasabi from Fujisaki Wasabi Farm, is exquisite. The fermented butter shrimp dumplings with chili sauce are also a sophisticated Japanese-Chinese dish that is very good.

I stayed multiple nights with a breakfast included plan, where I could choose between a Japanese set meal or a buffet. On the first day, I chose the Japanese set meal. The restaurant had a spacious open space with a stone garden, creating a great atmosphere. I could choose between rice or porridge, both made with Hokkaido-grown Yumepirika rice. I could also have seconds of miso soup. The buffet included orange juice, milk, coffee, tea, special apple pie, and fruit cake. The meal consisted of grilled rockfish, pickles, salad, seaweed salad, tofu, and more, all with delicious seasoning. The Yumepirika rice was especially tasty. The only downside was that the grilled rockfish was a bit underwhelming. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

Lunch with a senior colleague with work connections. The garden was lovely, but I couldn't take photos inside due to the business meeting. I only have pictures of the food. There are private rooms available. The meal wasn't heavy, but it was suitable for a leisurely business lunch. It was a leisurely lunch in a hotel-like setting.

The view of the garden from the private room at the women's gathering was amazing! The partitions provided social distancing, and the 3,500 yen course with temari sushi and all the other menu items was just the right amount to leave you satisfied without being too full. The service from the staff was also great. I will definitely visit again.

The breakfast at Sapporo Grand Hotel is a choice between a Western-style buffet or a Japanese set meal. Due to COVID-19 precautions, the Japanese set meal may be a better option. It includes small dishes, tofu, grilled dishes, roasted seaweed, miso soup, salad, simmered dishes, rice, pickles, and dessert. The variety is great and feels like a good deal. Everything is delicious, I even had seconds of rice! The apple pie for dessert was also tasty, and the staff were very friendly. Overall, it was a fantastic experience. The breakfast is included in the room package, but if purchased separately, it costs 3,000 yen, which seems expensive!

I received 9,000 Smile Sapporo coupon points, so I decided to have a luxurious lunch at a hotel. I went to a beautiful Japanese restaurant on the 4th floor of the main building of the Grand Hotel. I ordered the Matsuhana Bento for 4,600 yen, which came with sashimi, tempura, meat, vegetables, and many side dishes! I thought of having a little beer to accompany it, but ended up drinking too much. The weather was nice, the restaurant was bright, and the beautiful garden made me forget about the city for a while. The service was excellent, as expected from a hotel. I left feeling full, satisfied, and grateful for the delicious meal!

There was a request for a celebration, wanting to eat Japanese food. ✲Service & Atmosphere✲ There were hardly any customers due to the timing. The service was polite, but lacking in details such as no explanation of the dishes and not noticing when drinks were empty. ✲Food✲ The main dishes were delicious, and the small side dishes showed attention to detail and were both tasty and visually appealing. The desserts were also well-crafted and varied, ensuring a satisfying experience. ✲Overall✲ While the service at this top-tier hotel left something to be desired, the food was excellent and left me very satisfied.

On the third night, I had lunch at Sapporo Grand Hotel. I ordered the "Seafood Small Pot KinKi Course" for 7500 yen. The contents were... The appetizer platter was delicious! I was surprised by the high quality. The sashimi was flounder and tuna. The tuna was really good. There was also grilled sea bream with yuzu, seafood small pot with golden thread, shrimp, clams, etc. The tempura was well fried, especially the snow crab and shrimp tempura. The shrimp tempura was delicious, they really brought out the quality of the ingredients. The meal ended with sea bream rice and dessert with coffee. Overall, I was satisfied with the lunch.

I selected a collaboration menu with Wanda Memorial Hospital. The grilled Ainame fish in Nishiki style was delicious with just the right amount of fat. The corn tofu was also quite good. Overall, the seasoning was elegant. The calorie-controlled set meal had a decent volume, making me feel like I wanted a bit more, but for 2,200 yen including dessert, I was satisfied. The high-quality atmosphere of the restaurant is the best part. It was delightful to see a duck and its ducklings swimming in the pond through the glass.

In October 2018, I visited the Japanese restaurant "Kanraku" at Sapporo Grand Hotel. This restaurant offers a beautiful view of a Japanese garden while you enjoy your meal. As I walked towards the entrance, I could see the stunning autumn foliage in the garden through the large windows. I had reserved a window-side table, which allowed me to fully appreciate the beauty of the garden. I opted for the "Hana Kaiseki" lunch set, which included a variety of dishes such as sashimi, grilled fish, simmered duck, tempura, and scallop rice. The presentation of each dish was exquisite and the flavors were outstanding. The dessert, consisting of warabi mochi and a pudding made with Japanese sugar, was a delightful way to end the meal. The restaurant also offers a selection of Hokkaido sake, which complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, the service was impeccable and the ambiance was truly captivating. I ended up spending a relaxing 2 and a half hours enjoying the wonderful view and delicious food. It was a fantastic dining experience.

When staying in Sapporo on a business trip, one of the hotels I want to stay at is the Sapporo Grand Hotel. It seems to be popular among relatively high-quality international travelers, making it difficult to book. So whenever a reservation becomes available, I quickly grab it. It is a prestigious and traditional hotel. It is conveniently connected to Sapporo Station through a covered walkway, making it comfortable even in the harsh winter. The hospitality is outstanding from the moment you enter the main entrance. The breakfast is served at the Garden Dining, a restaurant where you can enjoy your meal while overlooking a beautifully maintained artificial garden. The restaurant has a sophisticated atmosphere with a long bar counter and several tables for two or four people. The black-themed decor creates an adult ambiance. You are led to your table by a staff member at the entrance, where you can pick up a newspaper and enjoy your breakfast alone. The Japanese set meal arrives in about seven to eight minutes. It is a pure Japanese set meal, with grilled salmon, thick rolled omelette, and rolled kelp on the plate. The simmered dishes include taro, carrots, radishes, and imitation crab. The vegetable salad comes with chilled tofu, potato salad, pickled vegetables, seasoned seaweed, rice, and miso soup with seaweed. The grilled salmon, seasoned with sweet salt, is cooked perfectly without burning. The simmered dishes have a thick texture with kelp stock. The taro, radish, and carrot are all soaked in the broth, but they are not too soft or too strong in flavor, allowing each vegetable to retain its taste. The entire meal is carefully prepared. Enjoy the rice with tofu, seasoned seaweed, and pickled vegetables. The rice is cooked to a soft, slightly sticky, and slightly sticky texture, with a good amount of stickiness and a delicious flavor. However, since all the dishes can be enjoyed even when cold, I wished the rice was a little hotter. After the meal, you can enjoy Sapporo Grand Hotel's special apple pie and hot coffee self-serve. Having cake in the morning may seem unusual, but as a pie lover, I always have to try it. The light scent of cinnamon and the subtly sweet apple are delicious. It's something I never do, but I consume sugar in the morning and head to work. My score is based on this apple pie. Being able to have a calm and quiet meal in the morning, with high hospitality, is highly appreciated. (King Nobu)

I used it for my daughter's 100th day celebration. I also ordered the Okiizome meal. As expected of a long-established hotel, the service was good and the food was skillfully prepared and delicious. It may have been too luxurious for an Okiizome meal, but I hope it means my daughter will never go hungry. This time, I requested a private room. The beautiful garden, which you wouldn't expect in the city center, provided privacy and a comfortable atmosphere. Both parents were very satisfied. Thank you very much.

On Wednesday morning, the grilled fish was hokke. It was a bit pricey, but the luxurious visual presentation was exciting, and the various elegant Japanese side dishes showed the craftsmanship of the chef. Thank you for the feast.

On Tuesday morning, June 20, 2023, I had a stomach-friendly breakfast. The miso soup had a very good flavor and was very delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Breakfast includes coffee, tea, and various desserts such as apple pie in a buffet style.

Sapporo Grand Hotel morning 3,000JPY was delicious <(_ _)>

The ducklings in the pond in the garden of the Grand Hotel, a symbol of early summer, have grown quite a bit. The Kankaku Kaiseki course is priced at 15,000 yen.
