I visited a social gathering of industry associations. The membership fee wasn't that high, but there were a lot of amazing dishes. I forgot to take photos, but there was also cake for dessert. Each dish was quite generous in portion size, so I was very full. The taste was also delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I found this restaurant where I could eat hairy crab the day before. I actually wanted to go to a different restaurant, but I couldn't make a reservation at any of their four locations. I searched around and found this place. I made a reservation and ordered the hairy crab just in case. I also ordered live squid, crab miso classic, two draft beers, a highball, and was undecided about ordering grilled lamb. In the end, I didn't order it. I was alone, but I enjoyed the relaxed semi-private room. I felt like the selection of shochu was lacking, probably because they focus more on sake. I would consider going back.

I have visited this place many times. It is located south of Susukino, along the Ekimae Street. They have spacious seating where you can relax. You can enjoy a variety of Hokkaido dishes here. They also offer all-you-can-drink options with a wide selection available.

All-you-can-drink included, around 5,800 yen for all-you-can-eat. The taste may not be my preference, but it's good for those who prioritize a relaxing atmosphere in a private room.(o^^o)\(//∇//)\\(//∇//)\\(//∇//)\\(//∇//)\\(//∇//)\\(//∇//)\\(//∇//)\

This is a smoking-allowed Japanese-style izakaya located in a mixed-use building in Susukino. Their specialty is a dish called "Daruma," which is a crab dish where only the meat is served. It's convenient because you don't get your hands dirty and there's no meat left behind. The dish is served warm, similar to the Hairy Crab from Okhotsk. Other than Daruma, the menu doesn't have many unique items, so it's a local izakaya for casual dining. However, the service is extremely slow, so it's recommended to avoid the all-you-can-drink option. This place is recommended for those who liked the old izakaya classics.

I saw a lunch menu sign while walking and decided to go in. I wondered if all the seats were private rooms. They provided warm tea and a wet towel, and brought me the lunch menu. *Lunch Menu* - Seafood hot pot (yuzu soy sauce, miso butter, kimchi stew) 1,280 yen - Camembert cheese hot pot 980 yen - Charred pork jaw broth hot pot 880 yen - Charred chicken sukiyaki hot pot 780 yen - Chicken salt chanko hot pot 780 yen - Beef sukiyaki hot pot 780 yen - Special hot pot of the day 780 yen, 7 options available. Comes with rice, pickles, side dish, salad. I asked the chef for an explanation of the hot pots and ordered the charred pork jaw broth hot pot. It was served piping hot and remained hot until the end. The hot pot contained charred pork, tofu, wheat gluten, Chinese cabbage, shimeji mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, and mizuna. The chef explained that charring the pork added richness to the soup. The soup was light yet delicious. The side dishes were dried daikon radish and mentaiko cheese omelet, both tasty and went well with freshly cooked rice. The salad was crispy and fresh. I mentioned it would be nice to have udon as a topping, and the chef immediately made some for me (half portion), complete with sliced leeks and burdock root – a true craftsman. It seemed like it would also go well with ramen. A water agar jelly dessert was included, with a subtle sweetness that was enjoyable. They also recommended hot coffee, but I was too full to have any. I look forward to trying the other hot pots in the future. I was told I was their first customer on the third day of their lunch service. Keep it up, chef! (2021.01)

I'm in the middle of a Susukino night out, hopping from one place to another. I was drawn to this izakaya's specialty, the crab daruma, so I decided to visit. I was seated in a semi-private area separated by curtains, creating a mysterious atmosphere. The appetizer was three cold tuna croquettes, each a small bite. The local sake was reasonably priced at 550 yen each, so I ordered the Kuriyama Junmai Ginjo and Hokuto Suison. To complement the crab daruma, which was a bit on the smaller side, I also ordered the seafood scallop gratin for 680 yen. The daruma was packed with crab meat, and it had crab miso at the bottom, which was a nice touch. The seafood scallop gratin had not only scallops but also shrimp, squid, and crab legs, making it a generous portion. Overall, the restaurant was known for its affordability compared to the crab daruma.

I came alone on a Saturday night and was given a semi-private table. The menu had a variety of seafood dishes, including seasonal and popular items, making it difficult to choose. I decided on the famous crab dumplings, along with crab miso, oysters, and tachipon, and also ordered some sake. The selection of sake was impressive, perfect for a sake lover like me. The oysters and tachipon were fresh and chewy, while the crab dumplings were packed with meat and satisfying to eat. The combination of crab and crab miso was excellent, especially when enjoyed with sake. It was a blissful dining experience. Thank you for the delicious meal. I would love to come back again.

When I went to Hokkaido and checked into the hotel, I unpacked my luggage and went to have dinner. The restaurant I went to was called Wagokoro Sakurairo, located about a 5-minute walk from Susukino Station. It is known for its specialty dish, the "Daruma" of boiled hairy crab, and offers a relaxed dining experience in private rooms at a reasonable price. I had made a reservation in advance, so I was smoothly guided to a semi-private table on the 4th floor of the building where the restaurant is located. Looking at the drink menu, I was pleased to see a wide selection of local sake, all priced at 550 yen each. Although I could have ordered drinks individually, I decided to go for the all-you-can-drink option. There were various drink plans available, including one that allowed you to enjoy local sake, but since my companion didn't drink much, we chose the Standard Plan. We ordered a highball and a Calpis chu-hi to start off the all-you-can-drink experience. The complimentary dish was a simmered dish. We proceeded to order food items from the menu, which included daily recommendations and classic dishes. We started with the live squid, which was a "Maika" since it was October. The fresh and chewy squid had a delicious taste. Next, we tried the specialty dish, the Daruma of boiled hairy crab, which was stuffed with all the crab meat and miso at the bottom of the shell. It was delicious and surprisingly affordable at 1680 yen. We continued to enjoy the food and drinks, including a Kinmedai simmered dish, which was surprisingly large and tasty at 2280 yen. We also had ikura soy sauce marinated, which had a nice texture. Overall, every dish was delicious, and the staff at the restaurant provided a pleasant dining experience. I would definitely want to come back here when I visit Sapporo again.

I visited this restaurant for the first time during a trip to Sapporo with my colleagues. Personally, I think that the most delicious type of crab is the hairy crab. The meat is sweet and the crab miso is delicious! However, because the legs are short, it's a bit troublesome to have to pick out the meat to eat. So, I always take out all the meat first so I can easily savor it, mix it with the crab miso, and then eat it. This large king crab definitely has a satisfying taste! I will definitely visit again when I go back to Sapporo! Thank you for the meal.

I visited for the first time to try the steamed hairy crab daruma. The hairy crab was delicious and reasonably priced, with lots of meat packed inside. I was very satisfied.

All of them are delicious! Very calming ✨

Even though it's just a regular izakaya, I don't understand why they charge a service fee. It's the restaurant's policy, but I'm not satisfied with it. I won't be visiting again.

There are private rooms, it's a quiet restaurant that locals find delicious and reasonably priced, but tourists may find it lacking.

A decent, average izakaya.
