Best restaurants in Sapporo

Sapporo eats like a northern port city: miso ramen was invented here, soup curry was invented here, and the seafood that comes off Hokkaido boats (crab, sea urchin, salmon roe, scallops) ends up in kaisendon bowls at Nijo Market and the Curb Market before 9 a.m. Jingisukan, lamb grilled on a domed iron plate, is the beer-hall meal. Susukino, the entertainment district, has ramen alleys open until dawn.

Sapporo's dining is compact: nearly everything worth eating is between Sapporo Station and Susukino, a twenty-minute walk. Tabelog ratings matter most for the seafood market stalls, where the tourist-facing ones near the entrance are the lowest rated, and for ramen, where the famous Ramen Yokocho alley is outscored by shops a few blocks away.
