The company was first established in 2002 and since then, the company has grown not only in Hokkaido but have spread out to the main island of Honshu.

Sichuan Mapu Tofu, crab with fried rice, stir-fried pork & cabbage with miso, shrimp in chili sauce, Gomoku spring rolls, and dumplings, to name just a few.

Bar Waduro is a high end cocktail bar. For those with a bit of money to sip on some professionally made drinks, Bar Waduro is in a convenient location. There are a huge amount of drinks to choose from and each the menu is organized into liquor bases. They have whiskey (both bourbon and scotch), vodka, tequila, gin, rum, and assorted shochu and sake. You can either enjoy a drink straight or on the rocks, or try one of the cocktails. These cocktails are superb and are worth the money. The menu however is only in Japanese so be best to have some kind of translating device or a translator.
When going here, be observant that the final bill may be more than expected. There is a sit down charge here (which comes with a small bowl of nuts), and that charge is ¥1000 per person. This is an expensive charge that is added onto any drink ordered. There are a few food items to nibble on and to add to the drinking experience. Overall, the drinks made here are second to none (the martini is particularly good), but the cost may put some revelers off. This bar is a suitable for a special occasion and sampling one or two different drinks before moving on elsewhere.
