Zanshin is a cool little bar in Susukino, Sapporo. It is particularly well known to snowboarders, skiers, and skateboarders. The staff here are and were semi pro skiers and snowboarders and definitely bring friendliness and some wildness to the bar!

There is some counter seating plus a couple of couches and tables fro larger groups.
There is also a very small upstairs area that has room for sitting only. There are a couple of basic food dishes that the staff can cook up for you. This includes a nice curry and rice bowl. This bar opens quite late at 21:00 and kicks on to the early hours of the morning. It can get busy around 1:00 to 2:00 in the morning. The bar is on the 5th floor and is above the club ‘Riviera’ which is on the basement floor. After the club closes, many revelers tend to head up to Zanshin.
