What is the attraction of Sapporo's famous soup curry?

Look out for the big, fresh, lumbering vegetables that only Hokkaido can offer! The vegetables' natural sweetness and the richness of the spice match to create a delicious taste unique to Hokkaido. In addition to tender chicken and stewed cubes, there are also dishes containing seafood, which, when broken up with a spoon, add to the flavour of the ingredients and make them even tastier. The combination of ingredients and soup is addictive - try the soup curry.

Recommended way to eat

Soup curry can be served with a variety of toppings, with the spiciness and amount of rice adjusted to your liking. In particular, there is a wide variety of toppings, such as fried vegetables, natto (fermented soy beans) and onsen tamago (hot spring eggs), to name but a few, so you can get lost in the maze. Select the ingredients that match the menu you have ordered. Soup curry originally contains a lot of ingredients, so it is recommended to limit the toppings to about two items. If you are unsure, feel free to ask the staff for advice.
