It's been a while since my business trip to Hokkaido, and of course, it had to start with Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue), right? So, we went to Hassen. I had tried to visit this place on my last two trips to Hokkaido, but both times the chef was off for his COVID vaccine, haha! Finally, I made it back to Hassen this time. My colleague also loves this place, so we were both super excited. We started with some draft beer and shochu while ordering a variety of dishes: - Appetizer (sliced jellyfish with mountain wasabi) - Salt Genghis Khan (1100 yen for 2 servings, with seconds) - Beef heart - Shiitake mushrooms - Green onions - Beef toro rice The sliced jellyfish with mountain wasabi as the appetizer was amazing. The fresh jellyfish with the perfect soy sauce dip and a kick of wasabi, it was so delicious. We quickly finished that and moved on to the salt Genghis Khan. The thick cuts of meat had a milky flavor and paired perfectly with the spicy green onions. We also tried the beef heart, which had a satisfying texture and went well with the wasabi. We even ordered some grilled vegetables this time, including shiitake mushrooms and sweet green onions. To finish off, we had the beef toro rice. The fatty beef melted into the hot rice, and with the added wasabi, it was just perfect. We drank a lot and ate a lot, and the total bill for one person was 6500 yen, which is quite reasonable for the amount of food and drinks we had. The chef and his assistant may look intimidating, but they were actually very kind and made the experience very pleasant. If you're ever in Sapporo, I highly recommend trying their amazing salt Genghis Khan! Thank you for the delicious meal. Yeah, I seriously ate and drank so much that night. It was a bit scary how drunk I got. I even ended up going to another bar afterwards!

I visited around 7:00 PM on September 5, 2023. Since it was a special trip to Hokkaido, I made a reservation about a month ago. The meat was really tender with no strong taste, and it was cooked on a grill instead of in a Genghis Khan pot. It was so delicious! I highly recommend it! The staff were nice, with a Kansai dialect.

I finally fulfilled my long-awaited wish to visit Yassen-san. It's a popular restaurant where you have to make a reservation in advance to get a table! The jellyfish appetizer and the leeks eaten with the meat were delicious, and the beer just kept flowing (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))). The rare beef sagari melts in your mouth. But the highlight was the main dish, the salted jingisukan, which was incredibly tender and had no strong flavor, it was a game-changer for me! My friend who came from Tokyo was also delighted. I definitely want to go back again. Thank you for the wonderful meal. m(_ _)m

Taste: ★★★★+ Atmosphere: ★★★+ Service: ★★★ Cost performance: ★★★★+ I was amazed by the tenderness of the lamb, you can hardly feel the unique aroma of lamb, and the meat slides in smoothly. It is a popular restaurant, so be careful of the smoke. Personally, I like the taste and atmosphere. I was nervous when I read comments about the stubborn master, but during the cooking, the chef's passion was evident. As I was leaving, he gave me his business card with a smile, and he was a friendly person. Thank you for the meal!

In the basement of Susukino mixed-use building. Without reservation, the service is too cold, the atmosphere is too smoky, and the staff speak with a Kansai dialect (this is Sapporo)… But they have delicious salted Jingisukan that makes you want to go back♪ ■■Thank you for the meal■■ aiming for a 70-character review rather than a long poem. Just writing as a memo.

First visit in 2023. I will introduce Sapporo's Genghis Khan. I have visited about 10 sheep meat shops in Sapporo, but Hassen was the most delicious. Hassen opens at 6:00 p.m. When you arrive at the store a little before that time, you can tell that there are reservation customers lining up. When the time comes, an old man comes out and guides the customers in a Kansai dialect, saying "Hang your clothes on a hanger and hang them outside the store. Put your bag in a plastic bag. It will smell, you know." I read in a review that "the old man's tone is harsh," but it was just a normal Kansai dialect. It might feel harsh if you're not used to it. The first dish is lamb meat provided for each person without question. In general, Sapporo's Genghis Khan involves grilling lamb marinated in seasoning sauce or grilling lamb and then dipping it in soy sauce, but this shop serves salt-marinated lamb meat grilled without dipping it in soy sauce. It's straightforward. The lamb meat chunks are thick, so I put them on the seasoned charcoal grill with experience. Following the old man's instructions, I wait patiently without flipping the meat. While waiting for it to cook, I nibble on the appetizer "sashimi jellyfish and mountain wasabi." This appetizer is also delicious. The crunchy texture of the jellyfish and the combination of vinegar soy sauce and horseradish are good. It's so delicious. It could be adopted as a one-dish dish in other restaurants, but I have never seen it anywhere else, so there might be some ingenuity. While enjoying that, the surface of the meat is grilled, so I cut the meat chunks into bite-sized pieces with the provided scissors. Since the cut surface is raw, I sear it further before eating. Yummy! It's tender and the umami of the lamb meat comes to the fore. I have eaten Suffolk breed raw lamb meat multiple times at other restaurants, but this one has a higher level of umami. I wonder why? Is it the difference in salt marinade? Is the source of lamb meat different for the old man? Or maybe there's some ingenuity in the preparation at the store. Since the old man doesn't explain the meat, I don't understand the reason for the deliciousness and feel puzzled. The inside of the store is smoky from the charcoal grill. Well, it's a masterpiece if it's delicious. The salt lamb meat is delicious enough to eat as it is, but it becomes even more delicious when you use the provided spicy green onions. At that point, you no longer care about the smoke from the charcoal grill. Just devour the meat. Happy! With that said, I quickly finished the salt lamb and additional dishes can be freely ordered. I wanted to reorder the lamb meat, but since it was my first visit, I resisted the urge. I ordered "asparagus" and "sagari" as additional dishes. The delicious one was the asparagus. I was expecting green asparagus because of the season and Genghis Khan, but thick white asparagus was served, and when grilled on the charcoal grill, the burnt sweetness and the crunchy fiber lightness were emphasized and delicious. Green asparagus and white asparagus have completely different textures. You can enjoy the differences in ingredients that come with charcoal grilling. By the way, the sagari meat was quite ordinary and did not reach the excitement of the lamb meat. This shop might be good for salt lamb enthusiasts. When I visit next time, I think I will order salt lamb again for the second round. And the finale is "beef toro rice." The old man keeps saying, "One bowl of rice per person," so you can't order white rice. Even though rice goes well with lamb meat... But the deliciousness of the "beef toro rice" that I ordered without rice is truly a rewarding dish where the meat melts in your mouth. Even during the meal, the old man's strong tone is still there, but well, it's softer compared to drinking establishments in Nishinari. Above all, the old man is a lubricant. It's so exciting.

Mysterious shop located deep underground. The menu is non-existent and the place is quite cramped. The atmosphere is intimidating, catering only to black belt customers. Despite the uncomfortable setting, the food was surprisingly delicious. The jellyfish appetizer was particularly tasty. When I exclaimed how good it was, the waiter said, "You can only get this at the market." I then enjoyed the simple salted lamb dish. The meat was thick and flavorful, and the sesame and green onions were incredibly delicious. It's a place where you can easily enjoy a meal, but it's also a unique experience that adds to the overall enjoyment.

Visited with five friends. As soon as we tried to enter the restaurant, we were stopped and told, "Put your bags in a bag!" The straightforward owner lived up to his reputation. We ordered lots of meat, ate and drank heartily, costing about 8,000 yen per person. As we continued, the owner started smiling and we had a great time. Thank you for the delicious meal. We will definitely visit again.

The salt Genghis Khan is top quality. The customer service is third-rate. It seems like anyone would get angry, so let's make it a Hokkaido specialty. I prefer to communicate with the owner, but our compatibility was not good. When you want to eat something delicious, I recommend it.

Gourmet Tour 2nd stop - Finally tried the salted Genghis Khan I've been wanting to eat! It's always fully booked for group dining and too casual for a casual drop-in... After being rejected a few times, I finally made my first visit to this restaurant. Two middle-aged men are running the place. The smoke is intense, so we hang our jackets outside and put our belongings in garbage bags to bring in. Reminds me of the style I'm used to from Tabushi in Hakata. When seated, the Genghis Khan is automatically served for the number of people. Grilling the Genghis Khan on a charcoal brazier is great. It's delicious! Goes really well with alcohol! The Sagari I was aiming for was sold out... The Genghis Khan was so delicious that it didn't affect my appetite. We ordered the "Beef Toro Rice" with minced domestic wagyu beef on top of rice as our final dish. I took one bite and passed it to my junior. I'll file a complaint for rice harassment! (just kidding) while stuffing my stomach. The service and smoke may bother some people, but I recommend it for casual dining. Thank you for the meal!

The junky charcoal-grilled Jingisukan with thick, flavorful meat is great. I prefer it without any artificial seasoning. The appetizer is jellyfish with white wasabi dressing. The menu is omakase style. Around 6000 yen per person, with about three lemon sours. The asparagus is delicious, Hokkaido style. The affiliated restaurant is recommended as it is cleaner. Still, delicious.

I visited a recommended Genghis Khan restaurant in Tokyo with my colleagues during a business trip. The restaurant was filled with many business cards from other visitors. It was my first time trying grilled Genghis Khan, and the flavor of the lamb was amazing. The beef rice bowl at the end was so delicious, it melted in my mouth and I can't forget it. We had a great night with my colleagues.

At first, I hesitated to enter the shop in Susukino. It was located in the basement of a building, and there were coats hanging outside the entrance. The staff, two older men from Kansai, seemed busy and would scold you (not seriously) if you bothered them. Besides us, there were three couples dining, each group sitting separately around a large table. I had never tried Genghis Khan before, and the meat was seriously delicious. I also tried the beef sagari, but the Genghis Khan was the best. The jellyfish appetizer was also really tasty. Don't forget to order the beef toro rice at the end. I definitely want to go back.

This place is always popular and it's difficult to make a reservation. Since the phone line is always busy in the evening, I usually can't make a reservation in advance, so I have to try my luck by going there directly on the day. Fortunately, I was able to get in this time, so I was lucky! This place only serves one type of Genghis Khan (Mongolian barbecue) which is thickly sliced and seasoned very deliciously. The jellyfish vinegar appetizer is also delicious and I would even order it as a standalone dish. On this day, I had seconds of Genghis Khan, ordered the beef toro bowl, and sagari (skirt steak) as well! It was really delicious!

When you decide to go to Sapporo, be sure to make a reservation at this restaurant! Even if you plan to eat seafood, you must try a little bit of this famous salted lamb dish at Hassen. Its unique seasoning is addictive and delicious! The photo shows two servings, along with the leeks topped with chili peppers as a side dish, which is truly addictive when eaten together! The large-sized jellyfish served as an appetizer with mountain wasabi is crunchy and tasty! The beef toro rice dish at the end is a must-try! Sometimes customers are told that there is no rice left, so if you plan to go for a second round, it's best to order it early! Thank you for the meal!

I was hesitating between Shirokuma and this place, but decided to come here. I made a reservation a week ago and entered as soon as they opened. The entrance was chaotic and exciting. The beer only had perfect foam. I don't usually drink a certain company's beer, but had to order it here. The jellyfish appetizer was a first for me and it was refreshing. Since I didn't know what was on the menu, I just ordered 2 servings of salted lamb barbecue. The owner's father first cooked it for us and taught us how to eat it. By 6:30, the place was fully packed. When everyone started grilling, the smoke was intense and we were scolded for ordering? It was all very amusing. The casual atmosphere created by the Kansai man's jokes made it easy to chat with other customers.

Located just a 2-minute walk from the No. 5 exit of Hassamu-Susukino Station ◆―――――――◆―――――――◆This is the real deal Genghis Khan! Milky, tender, and just the right aroma!◆―――――――◆―――――――◆I asked the locals and decided to give it a try! Couldn't get through on the phone, so went directly to the store haha. Seems like you can get in if it's late! It's quite a deep spot in the basement of a cabaret building, with a nostalgic atmosphere inside. The Genghis Khan was milky, tender, with just the right amount of Genghis Khan smell, meaty and incredibly delicious. The beef toro bowl was irresistible. Definitely a place to go back to when in Hokkaido!ｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰTabelog rating: ☆3.67Budget: 5,000 yenBusiness hours: 18:00-Closed on SundaysAddress: B1F, New Bimatsu Building, 4 Minami 5 Jo Nishi, Chuo-ku, Sapporo City, Hokkaidoｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰｰ

I finally went to Hassen, which I had been curious about. Since I couldn't get a reservation at the main store, I went to this branch. The restaurant was located in the basement of a mixed-use building. I was very curious about what kind of Genghis Khan cuisine would be served, but it turned out to be a simple salt-based Genghis Khan. It was very delicious and we finished it quickly. My sister, who came with me, is not good at eating Genghis Khan, but she kept saying how delicious it was and finished it quickly. If I go to Sapporo again, I will definitely go back to Hassen for their Genghis Khan. Next time, I want to visit the main store.

I received a recommendation from a follower who is from Hokkaido for a Genghis Khan restaurant in Sapporo that is popular among celebrities and athletes. We tried their signature dish, the salt Genghis Khan, which was surprisingly tender and not gamey at all. The flavor was just right and it was addictively delicious. We also ordered the spicy green onions, chicken wings, pork belly, and rice with beef toro, all of which were equally delicious. The pork belly was surprisingly sweet and the beef toro rice was so creamy and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and I would definitely love to visit this restaurant again when I go back to Sapporo!

The Genghis Khan here is delicious! The meat is quite thick, and there aren't many options for flavors - mostly marinated in sauce. Each serving seems to be around 150g. It's best to avoid ordering kimchi. If you don't mind the service from the staff (uncle), then there are no issues at all. Thank you for the meal.

The meat was tender, without any lamb smell, and delicious. However, the oil from the meat, green onions, and sauce made me feel a bit bloated. The restaurant interior is extremely hot, so caution is needed in the summer. Other customers were also sweating while eating. The staff were constantly arguing loudly, which was surprising. You have to put your belongings in a plastic bag at the entrance, so it's recommended to wear clothes and bring items that can handle any lingering smells.
