Japanese Restaurant Kurumaya （日本料理 車屋）| Japanese Restaurant | Sapporo

Actually it  is quite difficult to find restaurants serving delicious shabushabu （しゃぶしゃぶ） during the lunch hours, but I've found a great restaurant in Sapporo.
This is "Japanese Restaurant Kurumaya （日本料理 車屋）".

Located on the 25th floor of ANA Hotel （全日空ホテル） near JR Sapporo Station,

we can enjoy the wonderful cityscape from the restaurant! Lucky us!

They serve almost all kinds of Japanese food such as grilled eels （うなぎのかば焼き）,

tonkatsu （とんかつ）,

and tempura bowl （天丼）. Ops! We ordered several other Japanese dishes although we came here to eat shabushabu only! Hahaha!

Voila!
This is shabushabu!

Look at the beef! How beautiful it is!

The kishimen noodles absorb the yummy yummy beef and vegetable juice, and taste wonderful!!

My guests and I were so happy to have such fantastic lunch today!

Table De Rivage （ターブル・ドゥ・リバージュ）| Cafe Restaurant | Onuma

Would you like to enjoy the perfect view and dishes by Lake Onuma? If so, I recommend "Table De Rivage （ターブル・ドゥ・リバージュ）"↓

As this cafe restaurant is located by Kogetsu Bridge （湖月橋）,

we can enjoy picturesque scenery from the windows like this↓

The seat type is selectable among the three: normal seats in the restaurant,

terrace seats outside, and

cursing terrace seats on the lake!!!!

How about booking this special cruiser for your anniversary? Perfect, isn't it?

When you come here, I really recommend Onuma Beef （大沼牛）, brand beef in this area.

We enjoyed the "Onuma beef stew set （大沼牛ビーフシチューセット） today, although this seasonable pasta set sounds wonderful! Hahaha!

Are you ready? It's show time!


This is not a normal mushroom soup! They use King Shiitake Mushroom （王様の椎茸）, a brand shiitake mushroom for this potage! Super yummy x 2!!!

Homemade row bacon is on the very fresh salad picked today in this region! Perfect!

I really love this homemade pickles!! Can I have another helping??? Hahaha!

Voila!
This is beef stew! Everybody in our tour group loved this perfect stew! The beef tastes very rich !!! It is so tender that we don't have to use knife for it!!

Are you interested in their dessert, too?
This homemade chocolate cake is not too sweet and very delicious!

Drinks are selectable; coffee or tea↓

After enjoying the lunch course, we walked around the restaurant. This area is filled with water lilies. I'm sure we can appreciate the flowers on the lake in late June to July!

This is the cruiser table! Next time, I'll definitely book it! Isn't it marvelous to enjoy delicious meal and wonderful scenery at the same time??

This picturesque lake and beautiful Mt. Komagatake （駒ケ岳） gave us a very relaxing time!

When you come here in the winter time, the scenery is like this↓

How romantic it is!

They serve winter special menu, which is available usually at "Gengoro （源五郎）", their sister restaurant, only.

How wonderful we can eat a Japanese lunch set in this restaurant!

Onuma Beef, a brand beef is a must, isn't it?

Do you know jyunsai （じゅんさい）, water shields, floating-leaved aquatic plants? This clear, slimy, jelly-like substance is very yummy!!!

Smelts are caught in Lake Osuma.

I really recommend this restaurant every season!

Minatonoyatai （港の屋台）| Food Stall Complex | Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf MOO

I love food stalls, because the dishes are not expensive, but delicious!! If you want to share several dishes from different stalls, how about "Minatonoyatai （港の屋台）", located on the second floor of the "Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf MOO （釧路フィッシャーマンズワーフMOO）"? This is in downtown Kushiro.

See!? There are 10 food stalls on the floor! Sounds fun!!!

We can take a seat at a stall, enjoying conversations with owners, or take several dishes from different stalls, sharing them with our friends at the center tables.

One of my friends chose "Robata Shidukawa （炉ばた 志づ川）"↓

Look at the set menu! They are so reasonable!!!

Voila! This is a sashimi set! Oops! The owner tripped near our table, and sprinkled soy sauce over the sashimi! Hahaha!

Look at the samishi! All of the fish is caught off this town, and very fresh! Yummy x 2!!!

Another friend chose "Shokujidokoro Fuji （食事処 藤）"↓

Wow! Wow! Wow! How big the grilled Atka mackerel （ホッケ） is↓ Yes! Kushiro （釧路） is one of the famous fishing towns in Hokkaido.

Anyway, I chose "Kushiromeibutsu Zanginoyokozuna （くしろ名物 ざんぎの横綱）"↓

They serve delicious fried chicken called zangi （ザンギ）, and fresh seafood. Actually I negotiated with the owner, and asked him to make an original set!

Voila! This is my own set!

Do you have any idea what they are?

I know it's controversial, but this is whale meat! Actually Kushiro is a whaling town, where we can enjoy fresh juicy whale sashimi. Yummy x 2!!!

And this is Pacific saury （さんま）. Kushiro is proud of one of the biggest catches of the fish in Japan, whose best season is fall! Naturally I should eat it!!!　
This is very fatty, and super-delicious!!!

I also ordered beef tataki （牛のたたき）↓

This is a Japanese-version of roast beef. Very appetizing, isn't it?

On the first floor of the "Kushiro Fisherman's Wharf MOO （釧路フィッシャーマンズワーフMOO）", we can enjoy souvenir shopping.

I love this stall complex!
