Chicken soup curry with vegetables
If you are in the entertainment district of Sapporo, and are looking for a late dinner, or one of those extremely late “grab a bite after a night out” scenarios, then Kuma-chan could answer those needs. It is a tiny, comfy restaurant settled in downtown Susukino. It is tucked away on the second floor on the main street, and can be found by its sign on the sidewalk. It is self run by the owner, and due to the small size, reservations are not possible. The menu is straight forward and comes in a few languages, so it is easy to order.

Take your pick of half a dozen soup curry dishes including chicken, vegetable, lamb or the Kuma-chan special. Topping are extra and the spice level ranges from one to seven.

Delicious udon noodles
If you are looking for some Japanese cuisine, Kasyunan is a Japanese restaurant that primarily concentrates on soba and udon noodles plus other Japanese side dishes. The restaurant is located on the sixth floor of the popular shopping mall, called Stellar Place. With plenty of seating, and with its extensive menu, Kasyunan is a good choice for lunch or dinner. The two main noodle dishes in Japan are soba (thin buckwheat noodles), or udon (thick wheat flour noodles). They both come hot, or cold.

Fantastic tempura
The menu comes in a variety of languages, and is pictured, which helps when ordering. The Japanese menu has more on it than the translated menu, so make sure you look at both menus for a full selection! The noodle dishes come with extra toppings or as a side dish as part of a set. The set lunches and dinners are fantastic. Besides the soba and noodle dishes, there are fish dishes, crispy tempura dishes, vegetable dishes, and curry dishes. All are set out in Japanese bowls and dishes. The rice bowls have an option of four different toppings. Kids meals are also available for the young ones. The drink menu has juices, soft drinks, beers, and wines.

Huge selection of wine
During the day, Niseko is a winter wonderland for snowboarders and skiers. During the winter evenings, it’s a great spot to unwind and share a drink with friends and family. Mick’s Bar is a popular bar and one of the bars running through the Niseko circuit. Mick’s bar mainly excels in wine, but they also serve up craft beers, whiskey, sake, and if you are looking for something to nibble on, they have delicious cheeses and cured meats. You can order by the bottle, by the glass, and these wines are also available on order. The friendly owner, Mick, knows his stock and is happy to assist!
[the_ad id=”4264″]
Fantastic cheese platter
The large selection of Mick’s wines come from around the globe, including Australia, New Zealand, Italy, France, Portugal, Spain and another half a dozen more countries. Wines start out at ¥2500 a bottle. After a cold winter day, there are also bottles of sake to warm you up. And of course, what goes better with wine, but with a delicious assortment of cheeses. You can savor a Shiawase Hard Cheddar, Takara Smoked Eden, or a Takara Ash Rolled Cheese, just to name a few. The cheese plate here is highly recommended! Mick’s is a great choice for couples, or for small groups.
