Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜Izakaya Aiyo TanukiKouji 4-chome

Great Izakaya! Highly recommend! Nice decor with great customer service. English may not be a strong point but they make up in courteousness. Price is reasonable too, though on the higher side. Ordered the oysters, which are large, fresh, and delicious. Then tried the Hokkaido beef rump. It was served medium rare, but I like my rump more on the medium well side due to the fat deposits. They had no issues putting it back on the grill for a little longer. Good natural flavor. The Tsukune was great! Good balance of flavor as well as being a large portion. Then finished off the meal with an order of Hamachi sashimi. Served with raw and seared slices. Very tasty and a great price for the quality and quantity. Good assortment of drinks from sake to wines, with cocktails and highballs in between. Sat in front of the chef, who had no problems taking my order or getting someone to help me. Ambience and general mood of the guests were friendly and lively.

Beautifully designed izakaya with delicious dishes and very friendly staff. ❣️
