Kakuryu is conveniently located at the entrance of Otaru Denuki-koji and near Otaru Canal. The recommended dish is Otaru's local gourmet "Ankake Fried Noodles." It has been featured on TV and is one of Otaru's specialties, along with sushi and Kaisen-don (seafood bowls.)  Kakuryu's signature starchy sauce is rich and thick, combining a luxurious chicken broth made exclusively from chicken thighs and soup extracted from the flavor of more than 10 different ingredients. In addition, "Wagyu Ankake Fried Noodles," using wagyu beef from affiliate Wagyu Kurosawa and "Grilled Eel & Wagyu Rice Bowl," in which you can enjoy both eel and wagyu beef at one time, are also popular. Signs in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Korean are posted at the entrance, as well as a ticket vending machine for ordering. The restaurant only has counter seating, and children and adults are welcome. It is a must for lunch or a light meal in Otaru!

[Otaru Masazushi Main Branch] is located on Otaru Sushi Street, which is lined with well-established sushi shops. They have strived to protect traditions and ensure continued careful selection of ingredients to better present the [relaxation] of a meal to our customers. In order to be able to reliably offer [Maguro] (tuna) year-round, each November (the prime season for tuna) they buy up carefully chosen tuna of at least 300 kg. The fish, procured from the Atlantic Ocean near Canada, is known to be some of the best in the world. Just one taste and you'll never forget the sweetness and tenderness that makes it practically melt in your mouth. They have a full selection of multi-course meals, which they recommend for business meetings or dinner parties. They invite you to enter the soothing world of a warm, calming wooden atmosphere, sincere staff, and a menu of dishes made with the utmost attention to flavor.

The fish used in our sushi are sourced straight from the Otaru market - guaranteed fresh. The best way to enjoy the pick of the season's ingredients is with our "Seasonal sushi selection". Enjoy ten pieces of sushi accompanied by our homemade Japanese omelette. The deliciousness of the fish is the key to tasty sushi. We offer sushi that you can only eat in Otaru, sourcing seafood freshly caught in the waters around Hokkaido. We choose our dishes with great care, pouring in our hearts and souls for a result that will satisfy our customers. Otaru is famous for its glassware, and these dishes were made specially for us to set off the colors of the sushi. We have a wide selection of all kinds of alcoholic drinks including sake, shochu liquor, and wine. Besides sushi, we also have baked dishes, tempura, and more, so you can come here for a family meal or drop in for a drink on the way home from work.

The restaurant carefully selects ingredients by working closely with local suppliers and nearby farmers. Rakuten satisfies your appetite with izakaya cuisine that uses abundant high-quality seasonal ingredients unique to the region of Hokkaido. The owner runs the restaurant with his daughter and grandchildren in a family atmosphere. Various dishes are served, such as the spicy and satisfying "Spicy Lamb with Mint Sauce" and "Cold Noodles with Sea Urchin and Salmon Roe" to enjoy the delicious seafood taste. A full lineup of alcoholic beverages to match the cuisine is also available. The modern and relaxed Japanese-style restaurant is ideal not only for the drinker but also for date nights and dinners with friends.

The miso ramen is Rapita's most popular dish! White and red miso pastes are blended together in an original combination. The broth has a richness and depth that expands throughout your mouth with every sip... it's superb! The original medium-thick curly noodles used are specially ordered from Shirokuma Noodles. They're a perfect match for the broth! They came to fruition after Chef Sugawara carefully considered the kind of noodle that would go well with the soup. He accepted no compromises in their making, so Suguwara has confidence in his creation. Seeking even further heights in flavour, we offer a menu of seasonal items in addition to the standard and children's menus. In the winter, the charred garlic ramen is very popular! We also offer large servings and donburi (rice bowl) items. Complete with a car park, this ramen restaurant will satisfy men and women of all ages.

We use only the freshest seasonal ingredients. Our menu features sumptuous items that let you experience the natural flavors of Hokkaido and the Erimo peninsula. The exceptional ingredients we use, which naturally include crab and "ikura," are specially selected at the peak of their freshness and taste to ensure your complete satisfaction. Our menu almost exclusively features seasonal ingredients from the Erimo peninsula, also known as the "treasure chest of the sea." We offer the latest flavor sensations. Locals and tourists alike will gain an appreciation of why Sapporo is truly deserving of the title "treasure chest of the sea." We take our cooking seriously, and we specialize in serving delicious and enjoyable food. Our menu selections will allow you to fully experience the bounty of Hokkaido's sea. The bar area downstairs is set in a pleasant, open atmosphere. Stop by, relax, and enjoy some memorable times.

Our shop's soup is most best for making "soy-sauce ramen". It is carefully simmered for over a month in order to get the perfect shoyu tare sauce. From this complex process, its profound flavor is achieved. Not a fan of frozen meat, we only use fresh Hokkaido meat for our roasted pork fillets. Because we are also opposed to dense soup, we add water to achieve just the right amount of richness. We have always believed that even the flavor of the soup should connect with the customer's heart. "Unchanging spirit and sincere service" is our motto and we constantly aim to serve our customers with a smile. Aside from the ramen, the building in itself is noteworthy. Constructed at the beginning of the Showa era, this stone warehouse has a dignified charm. Inside, there is an atrium with plenty of open space for an enjoyable dining experience.

I think a restaurant's ability is clearest when looking at its appetizers. Dishes at a restaurant with delicious appetizers will all be delicious. Appetizers are easy for chefs to try ideas. We are always trying new things. Carpaccio made with chicken. It looks simple, but really, it is thoughtfully prepared. Once all of the tendons are carefully removed, the meat is added with kombu overnight, then finished with an original yuzu-pepper sauce. More than anything, we want our guests to feel at home, relax, and have an enjoyable time. We aim to help by providing memorable dishes. We are happy to accommodate anniversaries and celebrations. Guests are more than welcome to stop by any time for a simple glass of wine and a snack.

Even among many Japanese dishes, [sushi] may be the best when considering its [beautiful] appearance, as it can colorfully express the sense of the season on a plate and table, and the guests can appreciate it with their eyes as well. In that sense, counter seats at a sushi restaurant may be the most luxurious, exceptional seat. Nevertheless, sushi restaurants should never forget about the comfort. Our [Sushi Isono] offers a pleasant moment with someone you like. You can also enjoy communicating with people sitting next to you. Since we opened in 2013,  our master chef has wished to offer a beautiful space where the guests can relax and enjoy sushi. Furthermore, a high sense of beauty seen everywhere in our restaurant will entertain you as well. Please come to enjoy our sushi at the time you visit  Sapporo, whether you are from Hokkaido, or outside Hokkaido!
