Best Meal in Hakodate: Wagyu Sukiyaki & King Crab!
This family-run spot was one of the best meals we had during our entire trip in Japan. They totally nail it by combining two amazing things: Wagyu beef and King Crab.
Amazing Food We got the Wagyu and Pork Sukiyaki set and the King Crab. The beef and pork were outstanding, perfectly marbled, it just melted on your tongue. The King Crab was also great; steamed and prepared well and loaded with meat, and a perfect, luxurious addition.
Friendly Family Service The cozy restaurant is run by incredibly sweet and dedicated owners. Their service was fantastic. Super friendly and personal! They made great conversation and even gave us a detailed run-through on how to cook the sukiyaki perfectly. This personal touch made the whole experience unforgettable.

The crab was served warmed, its meat firm and fresh, elevating the entire experience. Before we left, they gifted us a bag of sweets, a gesture of kindness we'll remember. We'll definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends heading to...
