Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜ルー &スープカレー BONANZA

Our first curry soup experience in Sapporo. It was delightful. At first the concept of a curry soup seemed strange but the more you eat it, the more it works and is delicious. It was empty when we went before 8pm on a Thursday but we reckon it gets crowded during lunch hour. There wasn’t an English menu however it is quite simple to order: Step 1 - choose your meat / veg only, Step 2 - how big a rice portion you’d like Step 3 - choose the spice level Step 4 (optional) - add on side dishes We went for Chicken and Pork and spice levels 2 and 3 respectively. The meat was cooked to perfection (melt in your mouth, fall off the bone) and the spice levels were good.

Dang good. My first time having soup curry and there was absolutely nothing wrong with this dish. There is no english menu, but you can use a translation app and the server is happy to give you his recommendations. We loved it!

I'm so happy Bonanza is still around! I visited in 2017 when they first opened. We had stayed at an AirBnb nearby and were able to try their soup curry the day before we left Sapporo - at that point the restaurant had barely been open a week. I particularly miss their curry broth on cold days, and have not have a better soup curry since. The broth was rich and soothing, with a pleasant herbal taste. The fried vegetables were a great match with the soup. I can't even remember which particular protein I had, but I can only remember the feeling of comfort and satisfaction from that piping hot bowl of soup curry. Thank you Bonanza, for a lovely meal. I hope I get to taste your soup curry again sometime soon.
