12 street food places in Sapporo we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Sapporo | Street Food across every city.
Sapporo's street eating is tied to its markets and seasonal festivals as much as to any permanent stall. Nijo Market and the Sapporo Curb Market sell the morning catch, the Sapporo Station Ekiben Stalls feed travellers, and Donguri's chikuwa pan in Odori is a local snack. The calendar fills the streets too, from the Snow Festival Food Street and Autumn Fest stalls to the Odori Beer Garden, with the Susukino Yakitori Yokocho alley running into the night.
