This restaurant is located under the large Ferris wheel in central Sapporo in the building Norubesa. It is on the ground and has a nice ambient atmosphere on the inside plus a nice seating area on the outside in the non winter months. This place is especially good for large parties as there are some large tables near the windows. It is also a popular spot for dates and romantic dinners as each table is candle lit. There is smoking on the main floor which may make non smokers uncomfortable. The food here is beautifully presented and there are some unique dishes that you don’t usually find elsewhere. For example they have lamb cutlets, roast beef and seasonal salads. They also offer set meals ranging from ¥4000 – ¥6000.

The taste of the dishes, although good, is outdone by the presentation and doesn’t really compete. The servings are not big and you are looking at around ¥1000 a dish. The cocktail menu here is extensive and well presented. There is also a good wine selection and again, the wine servings are a little small. As mentioned, there are dinner and party plans that can be ordered if you don’t want to pay per dish. It’s best to reserve a table a few days prior so as to secure a spot. There is also an all you can drink option.

Each table is set up with its own keg on tap that can be poured by the revelers.

There are different kinds of ‘all you can drink’ options. These include the cheapest lemon sour, or a strawberry sour option, plus other fruits to mix. Ordering food is not super simple as it should be. To order food you need to use the QR code that is given to you to access the menu. From there you can order from the link. This is a little laborious. After ordering the waitperson will bring out your food where you can cook it on the grill that they set up for you. This is a great place to because they have outside seating which isn’t often found in Susukino. There is also inside seating. If you do want to sit outside you will need to make a reservation well in advance so fingers crossed for good weather!
