Hokkaido Wine and Sake Bar Hakodate Gyohan — Restaurant in Hakodate

This place is a hidden gem in hakodate. Everything was prepared with care and love, and I absolutely enjoyed the experience here. They offer variety of drinks with tasting services in affordable prices. The only downside for English-speaking customers would be that the menus are only written in Japanese, which makes sense since this is Japan, not America. If you are capable of using google translator or any kind of modern technology, it should not be too hard to order food or drinks and engage in local experiences. Also, the owners were kind enough to guide us...

I entered this restaurant at 9pm while looking for a place for dinner in my neighborhood. Google Maps and the door indicated that it closes at 10pm. One member of the staff had one look at me (I'm black), and rushed to the door to tell me that the kitchen was closed. I thanked him and went on my way. Had dinner at a fine restaurant just 5 min away. 1h30min later, I walk past this same restaurant going back to my Ryokan and see that it's still open and people are still eating. I could be wrong, but I feel I was denied service...

Excellent experience; They have a very good selection of Japanese wine and sake. Although the menu is small but everything is very tasty, and the ingredients are so fresh. Perfect place if you want to have good food and wine/ sake. The hospitality is also warm and welcoming, they explained in details and made good recommendations in wine/ sake. I’d definitely come back again if I travel down...
