Sapporo is a good place to compare Hokkaido dishes with distinct cooking styles, from soup curry and miso ramen to Jingisukan.
Choose a dish
Soup curry
A Sapporo specialty with a thin, aromatic spiced broth, large pieces of vegetables and options such as chicken or seafood. Many shops let diners choose the spice level and rice portion.
Where to look
Soup-curry restaurants across central Sapporo; check spice, rice and topping choices.
Hokkaido-style lamb or mutton grilled with vegetables on a domed skillet. Some shops marinate the meat first; others serve it plain with dipping sauce.
Where to look
At Jingisukan restaurants in town; check whether the meat is marinated and which cut is served.
