This interestingly named store is a chain of restaurants that can be found throughout all of Japan. There is only one ‘Hole in the Wall’ in Hokkaido and that can be found directly above Sapporo station in the Stellar Place shopping center on the 6th floor. These restaurants originally started as far back as 1952 and were one of the few that started to specialize in spaghetti. Back at that time, Italian food was still very new to Japan so there is a lot of history behind these stores. To make it more familiar with Japanese people they used Japanese ingredients making their own “Japanese-style spaghetti.”
This Japanese, Italian fusion cuisine has some interesting dishes on its menu. Hole in the Wall has five types of raw pasta, including spaghetti, tagliolini and tagliatelle. The menu has over thirty different pastas to choose from, many with toppings with a Japanese flavor such as squid, fish eggs, sea urchin and dried sea weed to name a few. There are lunch sets that come with a salad and drink. The antipasti menu has prosciutto, french fries in garlic butter, or garlic toast. Hole in the Wall also have some nice steak dishes on their main dishes.

The restaurant is quite small so it is not always easy to get a seat (especially for groups). It is run by two ‘dosanko’ staff who are very friendly and take a real pride in their food. For such a small restaurant, they really pack an extensive menu that will please any guest. The dishes are predominantly Italian, though they do have some French and Spanish thrown in for good measure.

The food menu has some great appetizers and snacks including home made pickles, plus olives, chicken liver pate, a cheese or salami platter, shrimp ahijo, and also a highly recommended beef served under a red wine stew. For more traditional Italian dishes, you can’t go wrong with their selection of pasta dishes. Plus they have risottos, and of course some pizza dishes. They serve up a mouth watering Chicken Genovese pizza. The drink menu has some delicious wines as well as beer, whiskey, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. Dosanko Dining is a top spot for a date, or for small groups up to four where you can sip in some nice wine and enjoy a fantastic meal!
