NotesTakoyaki bar, highballs served, outside seating, smoking outside
LocationThere are two takoyaki bars in Sapporo and both can be found in Tanukikoji shopping arcade.

There are two Takoyaki & Highball bars in Sapporo and they can both be found in the Tanukikoji Shopping Arcade. Both these bars are pretty much identical. They can both be identified by their bright red exterior plus they both have outside seating throughout the whole year (including winter). Takoyaki is a fried ball-shaped snack that is filled with chopped octopus (tako), pickled ginger and green onion. The balls are coated with takoyaki sauce (similar to Worcestershire sauce) and mayonnaise. Takoyaki is a delicious snack and the servings hold six takoyaki balls. At Takoyaki & Highball they have many different kinds of toppings they add on to their octopus balls. At these bars they have some unique toppings such as the cod roe with mayonnaise, melted cheese, or fried garlic. These are all equally good!

Each of these tako sets range from around ¥600 to ¥1200 depending on the topping and the complexity. At Takoyaki & Highball they also have other things on the menu besides takoyaki. They have a steak noodle dish, an octopus pizza, and an octopus ahijo dish. So, we have looked at one half of the business. It’s time to delve into the other part of this bar. The name is Takoyaki & Highball and so the drink of choice that accompanies the octopus balls is indeed a highball. A highball being whiskey (the whiskey being Jim Beam in this case) mixed with soda with a lemon slice garnish. It is indeed a refreshing drink and goes well with the food here! They also serve beer and cocktails such as a lemon sour. This is a great place to stop for a drink and people watch.

A very unique and cozy bar in central Sapporo. The theme has a jazz blues style going on reminiscent of a small bar down in New Orleans. Crowding the walls and roof are trinkets, statues, and posters from all around. Seating wise, there are a couple of counter seats and a couple more small tables. This bar is best to drink in very small of groups of up to 4.  The bar is singularly run by the owner. He speaks very little English however. The menu has mainly beer and cocktails on the menu. Drinks go for about ¥600 per drink, as well as the cocktails. There is a sit down charge of at least ¥500 per person so be warned as many customers are surprised when the bill comes. This is a cozy bar and has a great little atmosphere plus you can find some classic bottled beers here such as Budweiser, Corona, Kirin, and Guiness to name a few. 

This is primarily a bar though they do have some food here, albeit basic bar food. The name does say cafe and they do have coffee here and some cakes to enjoy. Overall, a good little bar to check out while in Sapporo.

For those who enjoy their sake, Fuu is a top spot to visit. Fuu is a Japanese izakaya located in Susukino on the basement floor. It is a large restaurant and bar with counter seating, small private booths, and large rooms for special occasions. It’s one of the few places that has an ‘all you can drink’ that has Nishon-shu (sake) on the menu. For around ¥2500 you can taste a large selection of different sakes from all over Japan! A real bargain. And if you don’t like sake, then they do have bottles of Sapporo classic included. The sake menu is written only in Japanese unfortunately so you will need someone who can read Japanese or have an app that can explain the different types of ske you can pick from.

While sampling your sake, you can enjoy some good Japanese cuisine for the full experience. Whats better than sipping on some sake with some nice seafood. At Fuu, they have an abundance of dishes to choose from. They have sushi, sashimi, fish, salads plus a selection of side dishes. At Fuu, the staff are very helpful and can assist you in your choice of sake. The decor is simple and wooden, and darkly lit giving off a nice atmosphere. Fuu is a great place to check out especially if you want to try a variety of different sakes.
