Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜Hayashi Shoten

Food were tastefully rendered, and the owners were very hospitable. The family-run izakaya is ornamented with curated articles from all around the world, and promotes travel. We ordered pad Thai, Massaman curry, side dishes fish and chips, sausages, all are very delicately done. A little gem in Hokkaido city that is worth paying a visit to.

Very nice atmosphere! Staff were very friendly, and helpful! I went for lunch, and tried both the monthly menu, the Vietnamese pho, and the regular hayashi rice. Both were excellent, the pho had a delicious soup, and just the right amount of toppings, and the hayashi rice, kind of like a beef stew, was rich and tasty. I will be going back for dinner sometime soon!

The service is exceptional and the lunch menu a great deal. Hayashi Rice was more like a stew, with a very deep and rich taste. The rice has a great texture. Cash only during lunch. I didn‘t have any on me and they wanted to let me eat for free!! Of course, I got some cash from a nearby konbini and payed. Even by Japanese standards, I was surprised. If you need a casual, quick lunch near Sapporo Station, this is it! They also have a lot of local craft beer.
