Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜Hanawasabi

Fabulous food from fresh ingredients. Top notch service from the owner. Food highlight was sashimi platter and the pan fried gyoza- we tried both the chicken and pork ones. Both tastes amazing 😍 The atmosphere is intimate and relaxing. Very welcoming to tourists. Slight language barrier however, host used a translator, so no problem at all. Would highly recommend who seek a genuine local dining experience.

Mind bending Itzakaya. Chef n Owner was an artist. Freshest sashimi, including the places at the fish market. Staff was professional but not stuffy. Get a rez or lose out!

This is a store with a great personality from the owner. There were many times when we couldn't get in because it was full, so we recommend making a reservation in advance 🙆🏻‍♀️The food is also great from the appetizer. I always order the skewers, sashimi, sesame mackerel, and gyoza. Recently, they started selling gyoza 24 hours a day, so I'm happy that I can eat a lot of them at home!
