5 japanese izakaya places in Sapporo we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Sapporo | Japanese Izakaya across every city.
The izakaya is where Sapporo unwinds, and Susukino holds most of them, plates of Hokkaido seafood and grilled lamb arriving alongside the beer. Isari, Hokkaido Seafood Izakaya Saburo and Sumire sit in the heart of the district, with Jingisukan Daruma turning out the city's signature lamb. Zangi Ichiban keeps a counter nearer Sapporo Station for the fried-chicken end of the genre.

Sumire Susukino ★ 4.3
susukino · Chuo-ku, Sapporo 060-0063, Japan
