    Hokkaido Sapporoshi Chuou-ku Minamigojounishi 4 Crystal Building 1F
    This Mongolian-style barbeque in Susukino, Sapporo was founded 60 years ago. It is an interestingly built restaurant with a large almost 15 meters square horseshoe counter with the kitchen in the center. When you sit down you will have a charcoal fire with pot right in front of you where they will prepare a dish of mutton along with other meats and vegetables. This is how Daruma works. They also offer an iconic side menu with their special kimchi and chanja (spicy cod).

    I was puzzled by the dish name Jingisukan [Genghis Khan] as I am pretty sure the great Khan had nothing to do with Hokkaido, and I smelt a hype here. I did some research afterward, and indeed...

Chicken wings covered in secret sauce is one popular menu item.

    The spicy ramen are amazing. These ramen are really really hot. So nothing for people who aren’t used to spicy food. You can of course order less spicy food, but I recommend the hot ones. Amazing...
