In Sapporo, in the entertainment district of Susukino there is a cozy little restaurant that has a menu full of delicious dishes! The term ‘Dosanko’ is used for people born and raised in Hokkaido. 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!

There are other souvenir spots to pick up a treat in town, such as Select 108, which also has local wines among other things. But there is something nice about getting down to the roots of a small town, finding not only locally produced wines, but also Japanese sake, and other locally produced spirits.
