Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜Ippei

Cozy oden shop up a few floors in a building. There is the counter that seats about 8 and a 2 person table and another table that can seat about 6. The reviews were a bit scary before coming but the lady who worked there was *super* sweet. Very kind and spoke in simple Japanese for us. Felt like my grandma. It's not so scary if you can speak basic Japanese -- and you write your order on a piece of paper for them to know what to give you so you kind of have to know basic Japanese. The menu is on wall behind counter with no prices. Ended up paying just over 10,000 yen for 2 people in November 2022. But we ordered crab, which was like half of a king crab, and bunch of other random things like red clams and other less normal oden things. I recommend the ganpo, the egg, the chikuwa fish cake, and crab if you want a big hunk of crab.

Once you eat Ippei's oden, you will want to go there. It is a highly recommended shop. There are counter and table seats. Reservation required. It is run by a husband and wife. You can enjoy the best oden in a relaxing atmosphere. The soup stock differs depending on the ingredients. In addition, sweet simmered cod roe is also excellent. It's delicious no matter what you eat. Drinks are beer, sake, and tea.

The oden here is really delicious. Sorry for my lack of vocabulary. But it's nothing special, just delicious. And they carefully select sake that goes well with oden, and serve it at just the right temperature. I honestly don't want to recommend it, but it's a sea bream child.
