Daimon Hitsujitei Matsukaze — Restaurant in Hakodate

Before we start Daimon Hitsujitei Matsukaze is now called Sakupa Matupa. We had a hard time finding it but just go with Google Maps and look for all the wine bottles in the window. It is well worth the effort because this place is great. We ate the #2 set dinner with two kinds of lamb, one venison, assorted vegetables etc and then ordered more premium lamb, assorted vegetables, add on asparagus (more beer and sake) and it was all terrific. We had a very nice sauce and/or salt and pepper and the food was delicious. Before I forget the service from owner Ryoya Okuyama was great even though he was very busy. His English and Mandarin are also good. We were having such a nice time and didn't want to leave so we ordered another set menu and finished that. It is a wonderful place with all kinds of local charm and we...

This shop specializes in deer and lamb meat.

The service is truly exceptional and deserves 5 stars. The staffs were extremely friendly and accommodating, particularly the one who prepared our meal.

To help us better understand the dishes, the staff would even point to the corresponding body parts to illustrate where the deer or lamb meat came from. He also offered expert recommendations for the perfect sauce to pair with each meat, elevating the flavors to a whole new level.

The food quality is excellent, making this a great experience for those who have never tried deer before. However, the portion sizes of the sets might be a bit small for an adult male, so it's likely you'll need to order additional dishes.

Overall, this restaurant is definitely...

Very amazing tender and delicious grilled lamb & venison. We were draw to visit here by the high rate in Google map and eventually it’s well deserved its high review! Ordered a set of lamb and venison mix + venison hearts (ハツ) & lamb tongue (タン) all are very good. The staff said their meat are all from local farm so it’s freshly made, that’s probably the reason why it doesn’t smell bad at all. The staffs will help you cook so you can’t have a chance to over cook it, he cooked it medium rare and it tasted heavenly😋 Staffs are all very kind and friendly to foreigners, we had small talks while he’s cooking, he also speak English.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to try Hokkaido style Jingisukan...
