Open cooking area!
Located in Odori, Sapporo, the North Continent restaurant is renowned for having some of the best hamburg steaks in Hokkaido. Although it’s on one of the main streets in Sapporo, it can be easily missed! Keep an eye out for the sign (see picture). There is seating for about 40 people, though it is wise to make a reservation for small groups as it does get busy. If you can get counter seating, the views of the chef as he cooks the hamburgers a la flambé, is a great spot for a photo and adds to the experience of the restaurant!
