Food and Dining in Sapporo - Sapporo travel guide - Go Guides

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 flavor.

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.
