I ordered the anniversary course. It was a 180-minute all-you-can-drink course limited to weekdays, but when I pointed out that they told us the last order was early, they said, "I was logged in at this timing." Having a meal while flies are flying around is unsettling. The hygiene aspect is quite concerning.

I was surprised by the different tastes of oysters from 6 different locations. It would have been nice to have steamed oysters as well. The dumplings were delicious even without any sauce, as the filling itself was flavorful.

I finally visited the retro Chinese restaurant in Tanuki Koji Shopping Street in Chuo Ward, Sapporo, which I've been curious about for a while. I ordered the following items: Seisu's potato salad for ¥680, smoked herring cream cheese for ¥700, xiaolongbao (4 pieces) for ¥700, and thin-skinned dumplings (8 pieces) for ¥750. I thought the flavors would be stronger, but they were just right. It was a second round so I couldn't eat too much, but the small appetizers were helpful. I enjoyed the meal as the menu was extensive, and I would like to come back to try more dishes next time. Thank you for the delicious meal!

However, it seems a bit restrictive even for individual orders. I don't think they offered all-you-can-drink. Besides the appetizer, each person ordered one dish. If you're not very hungry, it might be tough. - Tomato and fluffy egg stir-fry: This was the most delicious dish! Highly recommended. The aroma of the fried eggs is amazing. - Thin-skinned dumplings: It would be ideal if they were a bit crispier. - Xiao Long Bao: Just the right amount of soup inside is ideal! - Black vinegar sweet and sour pork: This is delicious! Black vinegar is good for dieting. If you can drink, all-you-can-drink is a good deal! I want to eat the egg dish again.

I went to an izakaya on Tanukikoji Street that exuded a Showa era vibe! It was a place I had always wanted to visit, so when I went to Sapporo, I finally went there! I made a reservation for 22:00 at night, and when I arrived, it was Saturday night and the place was bustling with customers. As soon as I entered the restaurant, it was like stepping into the Showa era! Everything from the tables to the coasters had a retro and charming Showa feel. The menu was extensive, and since I was very hungry, I ordered a lot of dishes! Here's what I ordered: - Xiao Long Bao (4 pieces) for 770 yen - Lu Rou Fan (935 yen) - Specialty: Jagatoro (880 yen) - Sichuan Mapo Tofu (1045 yen) - Large Shrimp Avocado Mayonnaise (1210 yen) - Spring Rolls (3 pieces) for 770 yen - Shanghai-style Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork (1045 yen) The appetizer was a cute bear-shaped monaka with a mysterious sauce that was both sweet and spicy. The spring rolls were amazing! The crispy sound when you bite into them was irresistible, and the taste was just delicious! I couldn't stop eating them... The Specialty Jagatoro lived up to its name! It was a generous serving of buttery mashed potatoes with a thick sauce. The Large Shrimp Avocado Mayonnaise had a delicious sauce, and you could even eat the shrimp tails! The Sichuan Mapo Tofu is perfect for those who love spicy food! I really enjoyed it! The seasoning was amazing! The Lu Rou Fan was a satisfying dish to end the meal. The Shanghai-style Black Vinegar Sweet and Sour Pork had plenty of tender pork belly pieces in a tasty black vinegar sauce. The combination of the sauce and pork belly was satisfying. Every dish was delicious, and it seemed like a great place for a second round! Since there are coupons on Tabelog, it's better to make a reservation before going to ensure you get a table! Thank you for the meal!

The appetizer, a cute bear-shaped monaka, was unnecessary. The xiaolongbao and dumplings had a strong flavor, so they could be eaten as is. I wish there was more ginger. The spring rolls were crispy and the sweet and sour pork had a strong black vinegar flavor. The meat was a bit tough but satisfying. The clam dish was foolproof with good ingredients. The broth was delicious. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes were a small dish with creamy eggs. The salt content was low. The crab fried rice was light and a bit dry. I tried it with the black vinegar sauce from the sweet and sour pork and the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

I went to Nyu Hanazono, which I was a little curious about. The interior of the store had a Showa-era vibe, but the staff were stylish and had a sense of cleanliness. The complimentary snack was a manju filled with cream cheese. I toasted with a mint lemon sour, which had chunks of lemon and was delicious. I ordered the 400 yen Kumomori raw oysters, but unfortunately, they had a lot of shells and lacked creaminess. Thank you for the meal.

Next up is Seisu Group, a shop with a quite interesting concept. From the tables to the chairs, plates, and chopsticks, the shop gives off a Taisho-era romantic vibe rather than Showa-era. Even the staff's attire is detailed and elaborate! Enjoy some gyoza and xiaolongbao with Shaoxing wine served warm. The gyoza is a healthy, vegetable-based option with no guilt, while the xiaolongbao is meaty and satisfying. Even salarymen frequent this shop, making it quite an interesting place to visit!

Afternoon drinking in March 2023 (*´ω`)o∪ At a Chinese tavern in the Seisu series in Tanukikoji 6-chome, they open at 3 pm and it's okay to drink in the afternoon (´∀｀)b The interior is deliberately simple, with a slight smell that may bother some. They offer three types of discounted HAPPY sets until 6 pm. The "A set" for 1000 yen includes 6 thin-skinned dumplings and a glass of beer ( ﾟДﾟ)ﾉDRY. The dumplings have large wings but the filling is average, and the taste is quite ordinary. I added a plate of 5 types of fresh oysters from Kushiro, "Konbu Mori," for 440 yen. The oysters were surprisingly large and delicious, very satisfying! Of course, I needed more drinks... so I ordered another beer for 600 yen. The atmosphere is like the early Showa period, but the prices are not particularly cheap. Use it wisely (´-ω-`) Thank you for the meal! (^ω^)

The staff's attire and the concept of the dishes were well thought out. I wanted to celebrate my friend's birthday, so I ordered a special plate and they were very happy. Going for individual items can be quite pricey, so I recommend booking a course for a better value.

The exterior has a nostalgic Showa retro vibe, perfect for taking Instagram-worthy photos, and it seemed popular among young women. A must-try dish is the famous creamy potato stew. The thickened potatoes and minced meat are a perfect match. It makes you crave for a bowl of white rice. The dumplings and xiaolongbao are also delicious. The drinks are endless.

I went to eat Chinese food without artificial seasonings after a long time. It was delicious as always. Not too salty. The cooking and taste were consistent. It's amazing that they can achieve this taste at this price without using artificial seasonings. Plus, they offer all-you-can-drink which makes it very affordable. Most Chinese dishes are full of chemical seasonings like MSG. But this place doesn't use them. I don't completely deny chemical seasonings, but I feel unwell if I consume too much. The daily special set for 500 yen (soup dumplings, steamed shrimp dumplings, spring rolls, shumai) is a great deal. The thin-skinned chicken wing dumplings for 750 yen are delicious. The mapo tofu for 950 yen has a gentle taste and is very delicious. It might be too mild for those who are used to strong flavors and lots of oil from chemical seasonings (lol). It is often criticized for being expensive, but the prices are similar to other places. It's different from cheap local Chinese restaurants with mysterious ingredients and heavy use of chemical seasonings. It's actually safe and affordable at this price. The happy hour set until 6 pm is a great deal! I recommend their party plans. Easy online reservations are convenient.

Having dinner at New Hanazono tonight. Located in Tanukikoji 6-chome. I usually like the deep atmosphere of 6th and 7th chome, with many interesting shops, but this place creates a wonderful "Showa era" vibe. First of all, the color and font of the sign are lovely. It gives off a somewhat old cabaret-like feeling. But the concept is Chinese cuisine, which is a surprising twist. I ordered from a maid outfit girl. The winged dumplings, mapo tofu, fried rice, etc. were just average in taste, but the atmosphere is simply fantastic, making you feel happy. I want to go there next time wearing a patterned shirt and sunglasses. Thank you for the meal.

When walking along Tanukikoji Street, I came across this restaurant that exudes a Showa era vibe in its name and appearance. However, there was also a sense of artificiality that caught my attention. Upon researching, I found out that it is operated by a chain restaurant company that aims to provide authentic Chinese cuisine with a retro world view. Intrigued, I decided to visit and ordered without any prior knowledge, opting for their specialty dishes like "Mao Zedong Lamb Chops," "Rattan," and "Famous. Potato Mousse." The dishes that arrived were quite visually striking, with the spicy Rattan and Lamb Chops contrasting with the mild Tomato and Egg Stir-fry and Potato Mousse. The Potato Mousse, a mashed potato and minced meat dish, was surprisingly good. Unexpectedly, the Corn Spice Fritters were extremely salty, making me quite thirsty - a perfect accompaniment for beer. Next, the Lamb Chops arrived with an overwhelming amount of spices labeled as "secret seasoning," but the excessive saltiness overpowered the flavor of the lamb. It seemed like I would be thirsty until bedtime tonight. While the unique experience of trying the Lamb Chops was interesting, I doubt I would come back for more. Lastly, the Rattan was oily and greasy, with the saltiness overpowering the spiciness. Although it lacked the satisfying noodle texture of a proper noodle dish, I still enjoyed the spicy soup and ingredients, especially the three large oysters in the "Oyster and Seafood" version I chose. As I ate, the spices from the Lamb Chops that were hidden by the salt seemed to combine with the Rattan's spices, causing me to break out in a sweat. Ultimately, I left some soup behind and finished the meal. With the Lamb Chops alone costing 2,000 yen for two, the total bill came to almost 7,000 yen. Despite the retro vibe, the prices seemed slightly high for the present Reiwa era.

I went to the restaurant with my friends. The tables were small, making it difficult to find space for the dishes that kept coming, but they were brought at a good pace so it was manageable. It had a unique concept that was somehow calming. The food was all delicious, especially the chicken breast with garlic chive sauce at the beginning, which I really liked. However, the roast pork at the end of the course was a bit too strong and heavy in flavor.

A Chinese-style izakaya located in the 6th block of Tanuki Koji, affiliated with the neighboring restaurant "Seisu." The retro atmosphere inside the restaurant gave me a sense of nostalgia. They offer a wide variety of Chinese dishes, including creative options. It took us some time to decide, but we ended up ordering the "Specialty. Potato Melt," "Thin-skinned Wing Dumplings," and "Crab Fried Rice" to share. Along with the complimentary bear-shaped manju, all the dishes we ordered were delicious. Despite the cozy atmosphere, the bill ended up being unexpectedly high, so I recommend being cautious if you plan on lingering over drinks.

The retro appearance made me hesitate to enter, but it turns out it was intentional. The interior of the restaurant was full, so I sat at an empty table outside. There were many interesting menu items that caught my eye. Everything I ordered was delicious, with no disappointments. I couldn't try everything I wanted, so I will definitely be back to try more. A restaurant I can't wait to visit again.

- "Seisui" is a Chinese izakaya operated by Andseis Co., Ltd, which creates a Showa retro atmosphere but targets a younger crowd. The drinks and food are delicious, and the casual atmosphere makes it easy to visit. Depending on the season, there are seats available outside, making it convenient for daytime drinking. - "Drooling Chicken", 935 yen: The intense flavor of cilantro, slightly spicy sauce, and nutty flavor complement the tender chicken perfectly. It's delicious and a must-try. - "Thinly sliced potato cold dish", 660 yen: The crunchy texture, salty taste followed by a hint of sweetness from the potatoes make it delicious. Definitely a dish you should try. - "Lemon Sour with Oba Yukari", 660 yen: Named after a person, "Oba Yukari" surprisingly tastes good. With shiso leaves inside and a yukari rim like a Salty Dog, it's refreshing and delicious, especially on a hot summer day. Thank you for the meal!

After enjoying soba noodles and beer at "Minato," we wandered over to Tanukikoji. We found a place to drink at Tanu 6! It was around 3:45 pm on a Friday. There was one customer outside, four inside, and about four more arrived later. We wondered why everyone was out at this time on a weekday, but we were part of that group too. We sat at a table outside with three people. I ordered a mugi shochu (barley shochu) highball for 715 yen. Cheers! We had an appetizer for 495 yen, which was a cute monaka with some kind of paste and sauce inside. I can't remember the details, but it was a specialty. We also had "jagatoro" for 880 yen, which was mashed potatoes with a generous amount of minced meat sauce. It had a nostalgic taste and was quite filling for one person. We tried the soft-centered century egg tofu for 715 yen, which had century egg tofu, green onions, cucumber, and sesame oil. You mix it to your liking after transferring it to a plate. I wished it had a bit more flavor. I always order century egg tofu when it's on the menu because I like it. We stayed for about an hour and paid around 5,000 yen for the three of us. Outdoor drinking was so enjoyable! ♡
