Soup Curry Cayenne (スープカリィ カイエン)| Soup Curry Restaurant | Sapporo

"Soup curry" is a soup type curry, which is one of the local cuisines in Sapporo. As each restaurant has each recipe, we can enjoy many types of curry, ingredients, and broth here in Sapporo. Would you like to go around all restaurants? Actually, I'm trying to! Hahaha!

Today I'll show you "Soup Curry Cayenne (スープカリィ カイエン)", which is located near Sapporo Dome and Hitsugigaoka Observation Hill.

It has been renovated recently.

What I like this restaurant is we can choose the types of broth, degrees of hotness, and ingredients & toppings for curry. Yes, we can enjoy soup curry customized depending on your taste!

This is the broth list↓ Typical soup curry restaurants serve only one kind of broth, while they prepare nine kinds of broth all the time!!! Amazing!!!!

Toppings can be chosen not only among several regular ones but also among today's specials such as huge maitake mushroom, w cheese, opened gumbo tempura, big clam, whey pork, and lamb loin steak. Sounds wonderful!!!!

How about monthly curry??
They serve Wagyu beef (Japanese Black) curry this month! Yummy x 2!!

The master said, "If you cannot eat up the meat, you can take it out. Don't worry about it!"
I said, "Don't worry about it. I'm sure I can eat it up!"
I was so excited when I imagined such big meat would be served for me!!!

Here comes the rice first!
They serve many kinds of curry such as chicken vegetable, pork, stewed pork, beef, seafood and so on. What I chose today is..............

Finally, I chose autumn soup (onion base with coconut milk and fish broth), Nanbu chicken (very juicy brand chicken raised with additive-free feed) and vegetables.
How gorgeous it is!!!

Opened gumbo tempura is added for additional topping! Yummy x 2!!!

Look at the ingredients in the soup!
My soup curry is well-balanced! Broccoli, cloud ear mushroom, lotus root, potato, gumbo, enoki mushroom, egg, cabbage, potherb mustard, paprika and so on................

How HUGE the Nanbu chicken is!!
(Now I understand what the master said means!!!)
The additional dish was prepared for the chicken. I cut it into small pieces,

soaked it into the delicious soup, and enjoyed it! The brand chicken was very juicy and tasty!!!

The autumn soup (onion base with coconut milk and fish broth) tastes very rich and well-seasoned although the soup is not actually fatty. I love it!

After eating the delicious curry, I drew a lottery on the iPad at the restaurant and got the third prize (discount ticket for the next time). Luck me!

What should I eat when I come here next time??? They have wide variety of curry, ingredients, broth, and toppings!
You know what? The most reasonable curry here is only 500 yen
Wow! Wow! Wow! I love this restaurant very much!

Heiwaen Ranzu (平和園 蘭豆店)| BBQ Restaurant | Sapporo

If you want to enjoy BBQ in Sapporo at reasonable prices for lunch, I recommend "Heiwaen Ranzu (平和園 蘭豆)" in Toyohiwa ward↓

Look at the banner! We can eat a BBQ set for 500 yen apiece!!!! How wonderful the restaurant is!

Let's enter it!
I love its horigotatsu seats; low, covered tables ppaced over a hole in the floor of  Japanese-style rooms.

They serve a lot of kinds of lunch sets, but I always order 500 yen Jingiskan (lamb) BBQ set. It is a best buy, isn't it??

The set includes a big mug of soft drink! Again, the set is only 500 yen!

Voila!
See! I'm sure this is a best buy for lunch! The meat comes with vegetables, salad, big miso soup, big rice, namul, and kimuchi. Am I in the heaven?? Hahaha!

This BBQ restaurant is a branch of Heiwaen (平和園), one of the most popular BBQ restaurants in Obihiro. The quality of meat and sauce is perfect!

Anyway, have you ever heard Jingiskan? It is our local cuisine, a lamb BBQ, in Hokkaido, and very popular not only for tourists but also for local citizens!

It really suits with Sappro beer! Hahaha!
Usually, a cheap lunch set tastes also cheap, but this set doesn't! The meat is very juicy and delicious!

We really enjoyed 500 yen lunch today!

Kani Goten (かに御殿)| Fish Market & Seafood Restaurant | Shiraoi

Shiraoi is located along the Pacific Ocean and blessed with delicious seafood. If you want to enjoy a fish market and a seafood restaurant at the same place, how about "Kani Goten (かに御殿)"?
The shop is on Route 36 and we cannot miss this 15-m long beer object on the roof! Hahaha!

The building has two areas; a seafood market on the left and a seafood restaurant on the right.
Look at the large space! We can enjoy local fresh seafood such as crabs, salmon, scallop, abalone and cod roe......

The restaurant serves about 70 kinds of dishes such as sushi, sashimi, ramen, tempura, seafood bowls and so on........

Let's enter it!
This is so huge restaurant that they can accommodate more than 1,000 people here. The space on the 1st floor is for individual customers and the 2nd floor is for group tours.

I ordered a sea urchin set↓

The set includes a small dish of seaweed

and a miso soup.

Look at the main dish; huge amount of sea urchin in egg soup!

Actually I really love fresh sea urchin!

I put a lot of sea urchin on hot rice and ate it! Yummy x 2!!

Of course my guests enjoyed seafood here very much, too.
This is a salmon row bowl↓ They also serve small seafood bowls so that we can enjoy several kinds of dishes for lunch!

If you like crab, how about this scab rice?

Do you like both ramen and sushi? In that case, I recommend a ramen & sushi set.

You can enjoy your favorite items at the same time!

Would you like to take out sushi? They serve sushi lunch boxes↓

We really enjoyed freash seafood here in Shiraoi!

biei SENKA (美瑛選果)| Shop Run by JA BIEI | New Chitose Airport

"biei SENKA (美瑛選果)", which is located on the 2nd floor at New Chitose Airport, is a shop run by JA BIEI (Japan Agricultural Co-operatives BIEI), and sells a lot of kinds of delicious vegetables and other items produced and made in Biei, an agricultural town in Hokkaido.

Look at the long line!
I also have to get popular sellers!!!

"biei SENKA (美瑛選果)" reminds us of rich and tasty vegetables such as potatoes, corn, pumpkins & onions, and

other agricultural products such as rice produced in Biei.

They also have processed items, such as

"Dice Milk", which is a snack made of rich milk and fresh cream produced in Biei. I love it!

How about freeze-dried roasted corn and beans? They are very sweet even without adding any sugar!

Well, well, well, we were queuing for their delicious corn bread. The bread is so popular that we cannot buy more than three boxes per person.......

The bread was featured by "BRUTUS" magazine and selected as one of the best souvenirs in Japan.

I've got it!

One box has five pieces of corn bread.

They don't use any sugar nor water to make the bread so that we can fully enjoy the natural sweetness of sweet corn.

The corn content for the bread is more than twice as large as the flour content!!! Wow! Wow! Wow!

I broke up the bread!
Look at the huge amount of corn! We were so impressed with the bread!!!

This bread is available only at New Chitose Airport! I also recommend their bean bread! Let's 0pen the box!

Voila!!

Beans are fully topped with bread!!!

Oh! There are also beans in the inside!

I'm crazy about their bread!
