Local food and restaurants in Hokkaido

Jingisukan brings lamb and vegetables together on the grill, making it a good meal to share in Hokkaido. Sapporo’s soup curry is quite different: a spiced broth with chunky ingredients and rice served alongside.

Choosing a meal in Hokkaido

Hokkaido is too large to treat as one dining neighbourhood. You can look for jingisukan across the region, while soup curry is closely tied to Sapporo. Choose the town you are actually visiting before looking for a table.

Tips for choosing a restaurant

Look for restaurants in the Hokkaido city where you’ll be staying. Prefecture-wide results can include places well beyond a practical outing from Sapporo, Otaru, or Hakodate.
