Choosing a meal in Sapporo
Soup curry took root in Sapporo, and seafood from around Hokkaido also arrives at the city’s markets. If you are new to soup curry or travelling with children, check the restaurant’s spice levels. Nijo Market is an easy stop while exploring central Sapporo; the Outer Market by the Central Wholesale Market is another place to browse crab and seafood. For a crab meal, check the species, origin, menu and price rather than assuming every plate is locally caught.
Where to look for restaurants
Sapporo Station is handy for a meal on arrival; Odori and Susukino work well after exploring the city. On snowy days, keep the walk from your hotel or station in mind.
