Chicken soup curry with vegetables
If you are in the entertainment district of Sapporo, and are looking for a late dinner, or one of those extremely late “grab a bite after a night out” scenarios, then Kuma-chan could answer those needs. It is a tiny, comfy restaurant settled in downtown Susukino. It is tucked away on the second floor on the main street, and can be found by its sign on the sidewalk. It is self run by the owner, and due to the small size, reservations are not possible. The menu is straight forward and comes in a few languages, so it is easy to order.
[the_ad id=”4264″]
Cozy Kuma-chan
Kuma-chan which translates to “little bear” has two main dishes on its menu. Roast Beef Donburi & soup curry. Donburi or ‘Don’ is a Japanese “rice bowl dish” consisting of either fish, meat, vegetables or other ingredients simmered together and served over rice. At Kuma-chan they have the Roast Beef Don which comes with raw egg, lettuce, and dried seaweed (nori). Mix it all together and enjoy! The roast beef for these dishes comes in 100, 150, 200 0r 300 grams. Kuma-chan also has soup curry. Take your pick of half a dozen soup curry dishes including chicken, vegetable, lamb or the Kuma-chan special. Topping are extra and the spice level ranges from one to seven. Rice comes with all soup curry bowls. Teas, juices, lassis, beer, and Zimas are on the drink menu.

Delicious udon noodles
If you are looking for some Japanese cuisine, Kasyunan is a Japanese restaurant that primarily concentrates on soba and udon noodles plus other Japanese side dishes. The restaurant is located on the sixth floor of the popular shopping mall, called Stellar Place. With plenty of seating, and with its extensive menu, Kasyunan is a good choice for lunch or dinner. The two main noodle dishes in Japan are soba (thin buckwheat noodles), or udon (thick wheat flour noodles). They both come hot, or cold.

Fantastic tempura
The menu comes in a variety of languages, and is pictured, which helps when ordering. The Japanese menu has more on it than the translated menu, so make sure you look at both menus for a full selection! The noodle dishes come with extra toppings or as a side dish as part of a set. The set lunches and dinners are fantastic. Besides the soba and noodle dishes, there are fish dishes, crispy tempura dishes, vegetable dishes, and curry dishes. All are set out in Japanese bowls and dishes. The rice bowls have an option of four different toppings. Kids meals are also available for the young ones. The drink menu has juices, soft drinks, beers, and wines.

There are four stores in Sapporo (check map above), with another four located throughout Hokkaido, in the towns of Asahikawa, Kushiro, and Obihiro (see map below). What makes Ikinari steak such a popular brand, is their diverse menu at affordable prices. Though you may not be getting pricy, thick steaks, you will be getting a decent lunch or dinner, especially if you have a meat craving. 
[the_ad id=”4264″]
Tomato based pasta
As with all Japanese steak sets, you will receive a few vegetables, plus a sauce to dip or pour over your steak (the blue cheese sauce is quite nice for an extra hundred yen). Side dishes include a choice of rice or bread. With Ikinari Steak, you will also be given a small hot plate on which you can sear your steak (after cutting), to your desired texture. All the menus have generally the same choice of cut of meat, though each shop varies slightly in its desserts, and side menus. If you don’t like steaks, then there are pastas and a few alternative dishes on the menu!

Ushitei is a delicious chain of restaurants of grilled mince steaks, that are served with a selection of cooked vegetables in an array of sauces to choose from. The Ushitei chain was originally opened in 1981 in Sapporo, under a different name. In the early days, the main ingredient was steak, but since then, the mince steak was added as a “Sauté of Meat” dish. This combination with their special sauces and side dishes makes for a great lunch or dinner.
[the_ad id=‘4264’]
When ordering at Ushitei, the mince hamburg steaks range from 150 grams to 350 grams in sizes. The dishes come with a side rice dish. The set menu option comes with a drink and with a soup option. There are a number of soup dishes to choose from, as well as the hamburg sauce. Take your choice of three sauces to dip into. And for an extra couple of hundred yen you can order toppings to add to your dish! The drink menu has juices, coffees, and select beers that will go with your sizzling meal. Enjoy!
