Hakodate Uni Murakami Nippon Life Sapporo Building Store — Restaurant in Sapporo

We visited in the beginning of June and hoping to try some decent Uni, my first time visiting Hokkaido - the origin of some authentic Japanese uni and seafood, I do have some hopes for tasty food...

Ordered the Uni Don but I gotta say it’s just average. The Uni tasted abit bland and not as delicate as we thought it would be, we are guessing it’s Murasaki Uni that we had. Not saying it’s a bad bowl of rice, but just not worth in flying half the globe for this. I am assuming this dish would give us good quality Uni as this bowl of Uni Don is not cheap. Also want to mention this meal is only our second dinner since we arrive Japan so our standard is still pretty low - Canadian standard 🥲.. and we came hungry for this meal so we think we would be easy to please if we are served with anything that are close to decent …

We also ordered the seafood Don but the ingredients is not impressive. The seafood doesn’t have much taste, not sure why… Its slightly better than the all you can eat restaurant in Canada unfortunately. For this price and quality, it’s not my cup of tea unfortunately.

Service is outstanding - warm and efficient. Arrived before it opened at 1130a on a Sunday in June and the short queue of people were...

We were spending summer vacation in Sapporo, & I got reference from a local magazine about this restaurant. My family been craved for Hokkaido Sea Urchin, which cost an arm and leg if we consume it in Singapore, and sometime lack the freshness. Glancing through the menu, instead of the the usual Unidon (sea urchin rice bo) or Kaisendon (seafood rice bowl), we attempted the course literally mean “fully exhaust uni specialty course”, the chef prepare the 7 course dinner from appetizers, entries, tempura, grill, mochi, steam… all with diff way of preparing the sea urchin. My family really enjoy this dinner in Sapporo. By Hokkaido standard, the price is on the high side, but it worth every thing. The Hokkaido melon soft ice cream end the Uni feast at a high notes....
