It’s on the 2nd floor in a building. The wait was longggggg (I got there 7ish) and you wait in the stairwell. I waited 2 ½ hours. Everyone that night stayed & waited in the longgg line. I believe it was just okay but just okay for •me•. It’s not my thing. The veggies were so delicious & fresh in my dish. It left an impression and I wanted more. It did take some time for my food to come out because it was made fresh. I know that I ordered it too spicy for myself believing the medium would be something that would add zest but I was way wrong. lmbo It was spicy for me. The gentleman next me & myself finished our pitcher full of water off ourselves. lol We were blowing our noses next to one another. I laugh as I reflect back at the memory.

When it was my time to finally be seated the employee keeping up with the number of customers asked me to move from the 2 person table they had me at to the counter so they could service a couple sooner. I was irritated because I had waited so long but you know what~ the Japanese want to try and accommodate everyone as much as possible which is so commendable and humbled me to wish my country was more thoughtful in that aspect. It made me think outside of myself.

This place is very popular. The locals & tourists both were lined up. It’s a small place that sits maybe 20 people. The long counter sit 10 and the tables sit maybe 10-12. I am glad I did the experience but I wouldn’t go back. Sapporo is known for this certain Soup Curry dish & I believe it •is• good for people who enjoy curry and like spicy foods. I am glad I tried it so I could speak from experience. I went by myself after going up the Moiwa Ropeway so I hadn’t learn yet the secrets to dining in Japan or how to avoid or navigate the longgg waits. Yet I just went with it and learned… my advice is go with what your normal taste buds are or go with someone you can share & try different spice levels with. I’m used to Japanese Apple Curry and should have stuck with a milder spiciness. It’s a memory I will always remember. I think everyone should be open to try new things. I believe the food •is good• for this type of pallet. Line up early, 30 mins before they open. The label & sign for the restaurant is completely in Japanese text but you will know it’s Dan when you enter inside & see the letters DAN on the counter once you finally enter. The lady taking my order was super nice and very helpful and sweet. She even allowed me to order take away so my son could try a medium spiciness but with coconut milk. He enjoyed it and I liked that one much better. Give it a try but go early.
