Japan is an expensive country. But like all expensive countries, there are opportunities to enjoy the local fare on the cheap. One such chance to fill your belly is by having a meal at HANAYAGI, a small izakaya (traditional Japanese restaurant) located in the southeastern corner of Susukino.
Proudly serving Yebisu beer!
HANAYAGI has everything you’d expect a bare bones izakaya to have: something from the pickle jar, the deep fryer, the grill, the fish cooler and the fry pan. And a really, really cheap all-you-can-drink menu (nomihoudai/ 飲み放題). Enter through a corner door and you’ll be greeted by the chef busy doing what he does best. Shed your shoes and choose from one of the low tables situated on the hardwood floors. HANAYAGI only employs one other staff, so get your order in quickly. By 8pm the restaurant fills for a frenetic few hours with hungry 20 somethings. The drink menu is pretty standard: Yebisu beer on tap, bottled Heartland and a handful of premixed cocktails. As for food, consider your eating needs covered. With a wide variety of items listed on both the menu and on the walls, you’re guaranteed to find something to satisfy your hunger…providing you can read Japanese!

Just ask, and the staff will do their best to accommodate your illiteracy.
HANAYAGI is perfect for a busy night. You can be in and out in an hour, satisfied with a belly full of great local cooking. Or if you’re agenda is on the boozy end of the spectrum, consider this your best deal to prime the motor cheaply (think 2 hours of all the beer you can drink for under $10…). For the price, this place has it all: good food, good vibes and good value all in one place. Just remember to give your compliments to the chef directly – he’s a salt of the earth Sapporite, happy to serve the people.

Start your night with a flight
BEER CELLAR SAPPORO is a great example of how the craft beer resurgence in America is influencing beer drinking abroad.In Japan, it’s confirming that beer lovers want more variety, complexity and depth in what could almost be called a national past time.As domestic brewing giants scramble to introduce craft-like products to market, the demand for real craft beer has been growing steadily. And while Japan is in the midst of it’s own brewing renaissance, many bars are focusing on opening American taps for their customers.
[the_ad id=”4264″]
Side plate of venison jerky
Specializing primarily in Oregon-brewed beers, BEER CELLAR SAPPORO has the same authentic taproom vibe that you would find stateside. Solid wooden and metal furniture, concrete floors and a big black chalkboard bring it all together.With eight beers on tap any given night of the week, visitors are certain to find something to quaff their thirst. Not sure what to go with first? Why not start with a beer flight tasting set of four 120ml glasses for ￥1,000 plus tax. Low ABV beers like the India Session Ale from Columbia River Brewing are great for those looking to pace themselves.
One of the many choices on offer
On the opposite end of the spectrum are double digit bruisers like the 10% ABV Grand Cru from Mazama Brewing in Corvallis. If nothing on tap catches your fancy, BEER CELLAR SAPPORO has five fridges full of bottles and cans for those craving a particular flavor. Prices on Oregon favorites like Rogue, Breakside, Columbia River, Coalition and Gilgamesh range from ￥500 cans to ￥3,000 specialty magnum bottles. Growlers are available but the price may be off putting for those on a budget.
Cheese platter
While a nomihodai (all-you-can-drink course) of Sapporo beer at an izakaya or Korean bbq joint is all well and good, you’ll never find a good IPA or stout on such a menu. BEER CELLAR SAPPORO’s food menu may be slim, but its selection of liquids more than makes up for it. They do have a cheese platter and a couple of small rustic side dishes. Planning your evening is as straightforward as can be: eat somewhere else first, and then come here for dessert. Maps, pictures and reviews are available here and here.

It’s a well-known fact that musicians travel, as they are travelers by heart. They may be called to the road to perform in the next town over, or at a gig clear across the country. And when their momentum really gets going, they hit the international scene. Sapporo is no stranger to hosting a wide spectrum of talent, from globetrotting buskers to world-renowned superstars. It’s also a city brimming with local talent with new bands sprouting up every year. As with any craft, being a musician requires a constant sharpening of ones skills. Even musicians on vacation get a hankering to practice their chops. If in the northern capital they should look no further than SHIRAKANSU, a first class music studio located in the heart of downtown Sapporo.
[the_ad id=”4264″]
Named after the coelacanth, a prehistoric fish that has evaded extinction for 65 million years, SHIRAKANSU is the newest generation of practice studios in Sapporo. Opened in 2015, it quickly established itself as the most accessible and well equipped of the downtown studios. While there are several other studios nearby, SHIRAKANSU is the easily the best. It boasts 12 practice rooms that accommodate anywhere from 3 – 15 people. Each room is fully equipped with gear any musician worth their salt would expect to find. Plug into to Yamaha EMX212 preamps, Hartke and Marshall stack amps, and EV PA systems. Drummers will be pleased to find well tuned DW, Tama, Pearl and Yamaha drum kits, pedals and cymbal stands and Paiste and Zildjian cymbals.
Far removed from the bring-your-own-gear ethos of the past, any folk or rock musician can show up empty-handed and still enjoy having a jam here. SHIRAKANSU offers a range of rental guitars, snare drums, microphones, and keyboards for a few dollars more. Drumsticks, headphones, guitar and bass lead cables – literally everything necessary to rock out is available to customers.
Open everyday for the better part of 24 hours, SHIRAKANSU has become the busiest studio in downtown Sapporo. And at ￥400/ hour for nonmembers and ￥300/ hour for members it’s a cheap way to have fun in the city. If you’re a musician spending a few days in Sapporo, call ahead or swing by to reserve a room for an hour or two. Just make sure to do it a day or two in advance. The staff is knowledgeable, energetic and able to overcome most communication gaps with a little patience. Remember that any trip is enhanced by some music. That’s a fact.
