Visited on October 18, 2022. This restaurant is extremely popular, as expected. I made a reservation over a month in advance. In my younger days, they would have guided me through a course with all-you-can-drink, but at my age now, I preferred to order a la carte. Of course, I started with a draft beer, Sapporo Classic. Although I have some stocked at home until the end of the year, nothing beats Sapporo Classic. The appetizers that came out were stylish, with ikura and kombu shaped like Hokkaido. These little thoughtful touches make me happy. I also ordered "Potato Butter & Shio-koji", "Shirako Ponzu", "Kin-ki Simmered", and "Hokke and Salmon Belly". Everything was delicious, at a level beyond typical izakaya dishes, more like what you would get at a luxury ryokan. I highly recommend the "Potato Butter & Shio-koji" - in fact, I ordered a second serving. The only mistake I made was forgetting to ask about the type of potatoes used. The atmosphere was comfortable, and the food was excellent. I will definitely make a reservation to come back next year.

I wanted to enjoy the flavors of Hokkaido at an izakaya, so I made a reservation and went. It was a great decision. I arrived before opening and waited outside, and even though non-reserved guests kept arriving, the place was fully booked for the day. It seems to be very popular! When the doors opened and I entered, the lively staff welcomed me with enthusiasm. From the energetic fisherman's flags to the spirited calls, my excitement level was high even before placing an order! They served a variety of fresh seafood dishes, including the famous tsukko-meshi, as well as Hokkaido's seasonal flavors like potatoes and corn. Everything I tried was delicious. The call for the tsukko-meshi brought a sense of nostalgia for those who grew up in a sports-oriented environment! The cost was around 5,000 yen per person.

A Hokkaido restaurant specializing in salmon roe was bustling with customers. Despite struggling to make a reservation over the phone for several days, we finally secured a spot on the fifth day. The reservation was definitely worth it as the restaurant was fully booked even on a weekday. The atmosphere was very Hokkaido-like, with energetic staff members, and we enjoyed delicious food in a fun environment. The overflowing salmon roe in the ikura rice dish left us very satisfied.

Local customers also seem to frequent this restaurant. The seats are always full with a bustling atmosphere. They serve dishes like shrimp, saury, scallop butter, hokke, and a large portion of ikura donburi that comes with a loud shout. Everything makes you feel the essence of Hokkaido with all five senses. Especially the shrimp and huge saury were a first for me. The prices are reasonable, and you can eat to your heart's content for around 5,000 yen per person. A great restaurant to visit when sightseeing in Sapporo. They also have a branch in Esukonfīrudo.

At the Hachikyo main store in Susukino, Sapporo, on a Friday night, there were many crowded restaurants. Luckily, we were able to get into Sumire in the front, and even got a private room. We enjoyed the famous Tsukko-meshi and other dishes, all of which were delicious with a little bit of creativity. The customer service was fantastic. Although it's not a cheap restaurant, we were satisfied because there were six of us and we were able to try a variety of dishes. Thank you for the feast!

I finally managed to get a reservation and went to the restaurant. The food was so delicious that I forgot to take photos. The meal exceeded my expectations, even the dessert was amazing. The staff were all friendly and it was clear they were enjoying their work. In the city, many part-time jobs just pay by the hour, but this place was exceptional.

I used this restaurant for a drinking party in Sapporo. It seems to be a famous place, with various people's signatures lined up. The orders were as follows (not the official names): - Pickles - Shrimp - Herring - Herring minced cutlet - Octopus tempura - Potato butter - Tsukko rice Everything is just delicious. The tsukko rice is the one where they keep pouring ikura in front of you with a loud shout, overflowing and fun to watch. The restaurant plays enka music all the time, creating a nostalgic atmosphere. I recommend this place to those traveling to Sapporo.

Hachikiyo is famous for its ikura (salmon roe) donburi, which is served in generous portions. It is an amusing experience, but personal preferences may vary. I felt that one visit was enough for me. The hokke (Okhotsk atka mackerel) was delicious, but the ikura was not really to my liking. The staff recommended the freshly arrived shrimp, which turned out to be boiled shrimp. It's worth a visit at least once.

I came to Hokkaido for the first time because I wanted to treat my children to delicious tsukko meshi. We ordered a large portion for our family of four to share! The zangi was crispy and the sauce was very tasty. The restaurant and staff were bright, cheerful, and provided excellent service.

It's a well-known famous restaurant. I made a reservation a month in advance anticipating the crowd after the dome live. The timing was perfect as I arrived at 9:15 after the live ended at 8, for my 9:30 reservation. This place always guarantees deliciousness no matter what you order. You can quickly taste Hokkaido flavors and experience catharsis with their tsukkomi rice. It's a delicious and fun restaurant.

An acquaintance made a reservation for me. When I entered the restaurant, the layout seemed familiar. I heard the call for Ikura Donburi and it confirmed my suspicion. I remembered the beautifully arranged dishes like Hokke and Kegani. Everything was delicious. The finale was definitely the Ikura Donburi! The enthusiastic staff made the experience fun and lively. Thank you for the meal!

The sashimi platter with half a snow crab, salted sea urchin roe, grilled butter scallops, Ezo deer sausage, tarako (cod roe) shirako, and potato fries were all delicious. The Housetsu Daiginjo Niseko limited edition junmai was also fantastic. I didn't get to try the famous tsukkomi rice this time, but I definitely want to order it first next time.

When you come to Hokkaido, you can't miss ikura, scallops, shrimp, sea urchin... And the place that made it all happen was Hachikyo Main Store. I've never seen such a generous ikura bowl before. I enjoyed all the dishes. Thank you for the meal!

First visited in 2014. I wanted to eat a Hokkaido-style ikura don, so I revisited Hatchi-Kyo. My target was the "tsukko-meshi" only. When I called the restaurant to make a reservation, they said, "We can accept your reservation if you can leave by 6:50 pm as we have other reservations." Convenient. I entered the restaurant at 6:00 pm and as soon as I sat down, I ordered, "Tsukko-meshi and a bottle of beer. That's all." After a while, a man with a three-minute haircut and a twisted headband came to the table to explain the rules. ・Be thankful to the fishermen. Many people die in accidents every year. ・Don't leave any food. If you do, please donate. ・Don't press the rice. These were some of the rules. Then, the man shouted loudly towards the restaurant, "Okay, let's have the tsukko-meshi today. Here we go!" Other staff members responded in unison, creating a lively atmosphere. After about six rounds of this, the ikura-filled "tsukko-meshi" was ready. It truly looked like a jewel box. It was a delightful and enjoyable dish to see and hear. The ikura was so thickly piled that it was hard to reach the rice at first. So, I ate the ikura slowly while digging through. At this point, I started to worry about my uric acid levels. Once I reached the rice, the ratio of ikura to rice was about 1:1, and it was delicious. I was already satisfied with the tsukko-meshi, but since this was my third visit to Hatchi-Kyo, I decided to try something extra. I ordered the "masu ikura tsukko-meshi" for comparison. The first tsukko-meshi had salmon roe, while the second one had trout roe. Although genetically similar, the taste differed due to their upbringing. After the man's performance of <okay, let's go>, I compared the two bowls and noticed a significant difference in the size and color of the fish roe. The salmon roe had beautiful large eggs and a deep red color, while the trout roe was more modest. After tasting both, I found that the salmon tsukko-meshi won in terms of the texture of the ikura, but the trout tsukko-meshi won in terms of low salt content and compatibility with the rice. The comparison of these two dishes was quite interesting. Overall, I don't think the value for money is that great, but considering the performance aspect, it's not bad to think of it as enjoying a large serving of ikura don at a cabaret club. Thank you for the unique experience in Sapporo. Bon appétit. --- Tsukko-meshi <medium>, Rock seaweed miso soup (¥2,690), Masu ikura tsukko-meshi <medium>, Rock seaweed miso soup (¥1,980), Appetizer <ikura grated> (¥500 x 2)

In Hokkaido, where all izakayas are expected to be delicious, standing out in such a competitive environment is crucial for success. This particular restaurant specializes in ikura donburi, and they have nailed it. The must-order dish for almost all customers is the "tsukko meshi." Until you say stop, the ikura keeps overflowing from the bowl with a chant of "oisaoisaoisa." It's not just delicious, but also entertaining. If you see another table enjoying it, you'll definitely want to order it too. And if you do, you'll surely feel energized for tomorrow. That's the ikura donburi experience. I will definitely come back!

When you come to Hokkaido, be sure to visit this place, I don't even remember how many times I've been here! I made a reservation about 3 weeks ago this time. Reservations are a must. It was my first time visiting with children, but they have cutlery, sunken kotatsu seats, and they even asked if we wanted the sauce for Zangi served separately. The staff were very kind. When we shouted "Eisa!" the kids were so surprised that they froze in place, haha.

Ikura-don, they pour more and more ikura on it. This is a place where people with gout should not visit! It seems that the ikura-don (and masu) promotion is still going strong, even after all these years. I first visited this place over 10 years ago, and it doesn't seem like the menu has expanded, the interior hasn't changed, and I'm not sure if the taste has changed. It used to have more of a Rausu town vibe back then. The operating company seems to have grown since my first visit, with 7 locations in Susukino. I remember they even had a Genghis Khan restaurant in Singapore at one point, but it seems like they stopped expanding overseas. They have a very energetic vibe overall.

I came to Hachikyo-san's restaurant! It's a lively place with a specialty of rice topped with lots of salmon roe! The staff have a unique way of calling out orders! There are various other menu items and the beer goes down smoothly!

Sushi restaurant in Susukino. Reservations are essential. You can enjoy simple dishes with a fisherman's touch. Although the specialty is tsukko rice, I decided to try other dishes. The appetizer of masuko, pickled herring, Shiretoko salad, buri sashimi, simmered bluefin tuna, raw cod roe with wasabi, potato salad with horseradish, and Kei's staff meal of green onion rice were particularly good. The pickled herring, a local dish, is a fermented food with plenty of vegetables like turnips. The simmered bluefin tuna was undeniably delicious. A special dish for tonight. Kei's staff meal of green onion rice is original and has a buttery aroma. There are many choices of dishes, but it's wise to prioritize the daily recommendations. The restaurant has a Showa era atmosphere with enka music and Yujiro Ishihara playing. Surprisingly, there were many young customers and foreigners. When leaving, there were about 20 people waiting in line. I repeat, reservations are essential.

I arrived around 17:30 to line up for the restaurant that opens at 18:00, and there were already 3-4 groups lined up because it's a popular place! The staff were very friendly and we had a pleasant meal. The dishes from Hokkaido were fresh and delicious as expected. The prices are typical for a tourist area.

Gourmet Trip Vol. 10 - Night Visit to Hokkaido in 2022. The location is along Sapporo's To-dori street, just a short walk from Susukino Station. Upon arrival, there was a line in front of the restaurant... Apparently, everyone had made reservations but still decided to line up. After about 15 minutes, we were able to enter the restaurant, so it wasn't a big deal, but it was frustrating not being able to go in right away. The interior of the restaurant had sounds of the sea playing, creating a great Hokkaido atmosphere that tourists would appreciate. Here are my thoughts on the dishes I tried: 1. Buttered Potato with Salted Squid 490 yen The combination of buttered potato and salted squid was delicious. The quality of the ingredients made it a standout dish. 2. Tarako (Cod Roe) Pon 890 yen Creamy and without any strange aftertaste, this dish was a Hokkaido specialty that did not disappoint. 3. Salmon Toro Yukke (Raw Salmon with Egg Yolk) 590 yen A great appetizer with a rich flavor that paired well with salad. 4. Hoke Menchi Katsu (Minced Hoke Fish Cutlet) 550 yen A juicy and flavorful fish cutlet that was a must-try in Hokkaido. 5. Grilled Half Salmon and Hoke Belly 1,490 yen A dish showcasing the bounty of Hokkaido, with deliciously fatty salmon and hoke belly. 6. Tsukko Meshi (Salmon Roe Rice Bowl) 2,290 yen The restaurant's specialty dish, a rice bowl topped generously with salmon roe. The high-quality roe was flavorful and not too salty, making it a delightful meal. 7. Scallop Butter Yaki 790 yen A dish I didn't try, but reportedly comparable to the high-quality scallops I had at Sapporo Market. Overall, the restaurant offered a high level of seafood quality and cooking expertise, making it a popular spot in Susukino. It's a great place to enjoy delicious seafood dishes in Sapporo without breaking the bank. I highly recommend it, especially for tourists looking to experience the best of Hokkaido cuisine.
