SAGARMATHA CHULA （サガラマタ チュラ）| Indian/ Pakistan Restaurant | Sapporo

There several recommendable Indian/ Pakistan restaurants in Sapporo, and today I'll show you one of my favorites. We visited "SAGARMATHA CHULA （サガラマタ　チュラ）" located near JR Soen Station （JR桑園駅）.

It is ornamented with Indian/ Pakistan decorations, and very cozy.

When you come to the restaurant during the lunch hours, please be careful! It is always packed with curry lovers especially during the time.

Look at the lunch menu! "Chula set （チュラセット）" including curry and naan is only 650 yen! Wonderful!!

I ordered "Special Sagarmatha set （スペシャルサガラマタセット）", which comes with a small salad↓, and

a drink. I chose Lassi. Yummy x 2!!!

Here comes a main part! How huge the naan is!!!

I really recommend this naan, which is baked in a stone oven for a short time!!!

We can select our favorite curry among 10 kinds, and I chose Dall Curry.

Look at these!! It has a lot of beans! Yummy x 2!!!

Of course we can select its hotness when we order curry, but we can adjust it after eating it with this spice paste.

That's a great service, isn't it?

There are two alternatives for chicken; Tandoori Chicken and Chicken Tikka, and I chose the first one. How juicy it is!!!

The restaurant staff is very friendly, and the dishes are very delicious. Why don't you come here to enjoy Indian/ Pakistan dishes?

Shiretoko Kaninoya （知床かに乃家）| Seafood Restaurant | Utoro (Shiretoko)

If you are tired of eating dishes at hotels in Shiretoko, why don't you go to local restaurants such as "Shiretoko Kaninoya （知床かに乃家）"↓

Looks very cozy and homey, doesn't it?

They serve fresh local seafood dishes such as seafood bowls, sashimi, boiled crabs, sushi, grilled fish, and so on.

We ordered a lunch set. Until it came to the table, we ate fresh sea urchin with beer!! Yummy x 2!!

Voila!
This is a lunch set!!!

■Sashimi (whelk, queen crab, scallop, and salmon)
These sashimi are very fresh and tasty!! Yummy x 2!!

■Crab soup
After finishing it, we put rice in it in order to make crab rice porridge! Perfect!!

■Chawanmushi (steamed custard)

■Cooked flounder
This is one of the typical local dishes cooked at home.

■Chanchanyaki (grilled salmon with miso sauce)
This is also one of the Hokkaido dishes. When it is cooked well,

salmon, vegetables, and sauce are mixed together like this! The tip to make delicious chanchanyaki is to choose delicious salmon! I recommend this local dish to you!

Last, but not least, we enjoyed this panna cotta.

Shiretoko Goko Lakes Park Service Center （知床五湖パークサービスセンター）| Souvenir Shop & Food Court | Shiretoko

Shiretoko Goko Lakes Park Service Center （知床五湖パークサービスセンター） is a rest facility located near the entrance to the ground pathway （地上歩道） and the one to the elevated wooden path （高架木道）.

I really recommend to drop by this place before or after walking to Shiretoko-goko lakes because it has a souvenir shop with a wide variety of local goods, and a food court serving delicious local cuisine that we cannot eat in areas other than Shiretoko!!

Let's enter it!

One of the most popular items here is....................

Shika deer burger （鹿肉バーガー）!! I know shika deer （エゾシカ） are very cute, but delicious at the same time!! They sell shika deer jerky, too!! Hahaha!!

How about rugosa rose and mountain cranberry soft ice cream （はまなすこけももミックスソフトクリーム）? Sounds very Shiretoko, doesn't it???

Yummy x 2!!! They also serve mountain berry juice! Which would you like to try, the soft ice cream, or juice, or both????

This pacility is just in front of the parking lot, and you cannot miss it!!

Oronkoiwa Rock （オロンコ岩）| Sunset | Utoro (Shiretoko)

If you stay at a hotel along the ocean in Utori, I recommend to go to Oronkoiwa Rock （オロンコ岩） in order to see the beautiful sunset.

A site in front of the cruiser landing place is one of the best spots to see the sunset around here.

Look at the rock and the birds!! Oronkoiwa Rock is home to a lot of slaty-backed gulls. We were able to enjoy the wonderful nature in the world natural heritage site!!!

Here comes the sunset show!!!

It's beautiful, isn't it? There are no city noise around here! We feel the natural sounds only!

The ocean is getting red as the sun is setting.

Although the cloud blocked the horizon,

I was so happy to share the wonderful natural phenomenon with my tour guests!!

When you come to Utoro, you should absolutely enjoy this great sunset!!

Would you like to take a rest in downtown Otaru, eating delicious desserts? If so, how about "VERY VERY STRAWBERRY （ベリーベリーストロベリー）"?

This is an Italian cafe restaurant.

They serve delicious pasta and pie, but I personally recommend their yummy desserts.

I ordered a "strawberry & pudding parfait" named "Very Very Strawberry", the most popular dessert in this cafe restaurant. You must be surprised at the size! This is for four to five persons, but I ate it alone! Hahaha!

Voila!
This is "Very Very Strawberry", a huge gelato & pudding tower!!!

This home-made raspberry gelato is sour and sweet!! Yummy x 2!!!

The vanilla gelato is very milky, and the pie is so flaky! I love this gelato mille-feuille tower!!!

Look at the a lot of strawberries and raspberries!! Perfect!

Without this delicious pudding, I wouldn't recommend this dessert! This pudding is very rich and mild!!!

P.S.

If you have an average appetite, I recommend you to share this sweets with your friends! Hahaha!!
