Nigirimeshi — Restaurant in Sapporo

This nigiri restaurant is opened 24/7. Handy for the night owls or after drinking all night.

They have hot dishes but they are known for their rice ball nigiri. Ranging from then salt only version to salmon roe, you can find all versions of the traditional Japanese snacks.

Honestly I tried many places but this place is easily in the top three.

Your meal won't be complete without trying their famous tonjiru (とん汁 aka bruised pork miso soup with assorted vegetables) which is the reason I travel here. Solid ingredients unlike the ones from restaurants or konbini. Now I have tried many tonjiru and honestly this isn't the most amazing but it's definitely delicious especially on a cold day. A hearty warm soup will...

【人生最期の食事を求めて】すすきのの片隅で24時間営業の続ける気概と多様性。

夜には夜の顔がある。 それゆえに昼間は見てはいけないのかもしれない。 そもあれ、私の好奇心は日ざかりの歓楽街に注がれた。

日中のすすきのは、化粧を洗い落としたかのような素肌を見せている。 其処此処に投げ捨てられたペットボトル、砂利の汚れを被ったマスク、昼過ぎにも関わらず街角で酒に酔い潰れて眠る若者たちの無惨な姿は、陽を浴びて曝け出され奇怪にさえ映った。 昔、良く歩いた歌舞伎町の昼も夜も同様の印象だったことを思い出した。

それにしても、日中のこの街で昼食を求めるのは案外難しい。 ほとんどの店は夜からの営業に備えて暖簾を外していて、選ぶとすれば数店のラーメン店しかない。

すすきのの深部とも言えるエリアに足を伸ばした。 そこはすすきの市場だった。 その歴史は1922年（大正11年）に遡る。 すすきの市場の前身である「第二公設廉売市場」と呼ばれた公設市場の再開発に伴い、1958年（...

Ichiban famous origini restaurant in Sapporo!

It is said the Sapporo people like eating origini, the traditional Japanese food. This shop is said to be popular among local people.

They offer a wide range of origini in different flavors. Tried the shrimp, salmon, beef, eel and cheese ones and they were all tasty! On the contrary, other dishes like oden (different toppings in a soup), pork soup and braised beef tendon were just mediocre.

Shop is small in space so you may need to wait if busy. One thing is one of the origini-making chef (guess he’s the boss from observation) is very cold and looks very serious, making us think if we were not very...
