Sapporo is famed for the quality of its seafood, which is caught in the cold waters off the Hokkaido coast. Crab is probably the most prized, but shrimps and cold-water fish are also packed full of flavour.
In winter, you can try a unique Sapporo dish, soup curry! It’s packed full of vegetable and roast chicken, with varying levels of spice for you to choose from. For the biggest collection of restaurants, head to Tanukikoji station, you’ll find every regional cuisine here, along with plenty of Japanese options.

Read itIn a city as large and cosmopolitan as Sapporo, it really isn’t that hard to find good international food or traditional local cuisine. Variations, of course, abound and you’ll be able to pick and choose between pan-Asian, European, Japanese and even and Indian fare. Seafood is a particular favourite in Sapporo. Consider splashing out on a crab banquet while this far north – the cold-water crustaceans up here are considered the tastiest and best in Japan. Of course, this all comes at a price and if you’re after budget food then it’s best to stick to simple noodle stalls.
