Burger King not a super well known fast food chain in Japan but it is spreading. This chain serves as a guilty pleasure for those expats living in Hokkaido, or maybe as a rare escape from Japanese food for those traveling from abroad. There are only six Burger King stores currently in Hokkaido as of 2025, so finding one is a little rare. The easiest Burger King to find is in Otaru as it is at the very exit from the station. The others are a little out of the way and require a car to get there. Burger King first arrived in Japan in 1993 and has continued to spread across the country. The menu keeps the same with the brand being the home of the ‘Whopper’ and you can find your favorite items on the menu. All these stores have parking, and a couple of them have drive through. Most meals are around the ¥1000 mark so if you are looking for a quick bite and want something that reminds you of home, Burger King is a good fast food option.

| Location | This izakaya is located right near Susukino. It is just a 2 minute walk from the station. Around the corner from the MacDonalds 〒060-0063 Hokkaido, Sapporo, Chuo Ward, Minami 3 Jonishi, 4 Chome-9-2 Kamiya Building 2F |
This is a very unique izakaya in the center of Sapporo. What sets this place apart from anywhere else is not only the decor but the menu. Upon entering, you will see a huge array of toys, posters, and other memorabilia from the 1950`s. It’s a great look and what sets it all off is the lighting and the music. Music from that era also adds to the experience. Once inside you can choose counter seating or table seating. Tables cater to about four people. The menu. The menu is written only in Japanese and covers three or four huge pages. The food here is pretty basic and consists mainly of fried dishes. They have oden, grilled meats, and other finger food on sticks. A couple of unique dishes that you could try are the frog legs or the sparrow eggs. Not for the faint hearted. The food here is pretty cheap as well as the drinks. There is an all you can drink option for 90 minutes. Individual drinks such as beer and highballs (which are the main two items), are only about ¥500 per drink. This is a definitely a must see while in Sapporo!

This is a great Izakaya which has fantastic views overlooking Odori Park. If you do want the perfect window seat, then it’s best to make a reservation prior. Aburiya is located in the Hokuyo Bank building on the 4th floor. This izakaya excels in seafood plus they also have meat dishes as well such as succulent lamb chops. There are a variety of sushi dishes and sashimi dishes, salads, fish, steaks and much much more. You can order all these dishes individually and for such a nice izakaya in such a prime position, the prices are really reasonable. The staff are friendly and it’s a great dining experience. Highly recommended especially during the Snow Festival! For drinks, they have some great sake here and wine that compliments the food very well. This is an absolutely fantastic spot for views and local cuisine. Enjoy!

Miyataya Coffee was founded in 1989 in Kiyota Ward, Sapporo. Initially, it was set up as a specialty coffee shop for offices, but after setting up tasting tables in the roasting factory, it began operating as a cafe. As it stands today, there are over half a dozen stores in the Sapporo area. Most of the cafe stores are roadside establishments renovated from brick or stone warehouses or old houses. These cozy places create the perfect atmosphere to enjoy some good coffee. They have a selection of coffees plus a variety of teas at their stores. Food wise, they make their own sandwiches by hand every morning at the Toyohira store and delivered fresh to each store. They also have other foods, including pastas and Japanese curries. Miyataya is a comfortable place to enjoy a coffee and the success of their chain stores is a testament to their coffee.
The toasted bread here is particularly good as well as the english teas. Lunches here will only set you back ¥1000 which includes a meal and a coffee. For your nearest store, check the map above and enjoy your Miyataka Coffee.
