What attracted us to try this place was the experience to try the fresh beer from a mini-brewery. The beautiful menu on the wall outside the entrance looked appetising & reasonably priced.BUT it is turned out to be very expensive indeed, & the food tasted average.The portions you get is a real joke! Probably just enough for a small kid. Probably the smallest portions we got so far in Japan. The beer is average & not cheap either.Skip this place. You can get better tasting & more reasonable dining options elsewhere.

Found this place via a tourist info center recommendation in Hakodate. It was a bit hard to find walking without English language signage, but it was worth the trip. Situated not far from the Hakodate Warehouse district it's a pleasant find for great value meal. ¥2310 for beef goulash soup with sour cream, beef entrée with mushroom sauce and dessert and tea. Started off with a premium sake, that really hit the spot after trekking outside in snowy weather all day. The host saw I was tourist and used my camera to take photos. I did see local folks in the restaurant, it looks like it is a wedding hall as well. ,

This restaurant at the top of Mount Hakodate offers a spectacular panorama from its bank of windows overlooking the city and surrounding area. I wish the food we had for lunch matched the view. I ordered a baked potato with the accompanying cheese, butter and squid guts (690 Y) on the side. The small mound of squid guts, which I never eat, far exceeded the dry, stringy baked potato's size. My husband chose Bibimbap (1360 Y) described as a mixture of rice and a long list of specific seafood. When the dish arrived, the only seafood proved to be tuna and salmon. We looked in vain for the other promised ingredients, such as clams, shrimp and crab.We went in to eat at 2:30 p.m. when customers sat at only two other tables. That meant the "No Window Tables" sign had been pushed to the side at the entrance and the hostess seated us immediately at one. The menu was in Japanese and English and our waiter spoke excellent English. That allowed me to get the potato without the accompaniments piled on top. He alerted us to a button on the table that would summon a server immediately. I assume this ensures a fairly quick response when the big restaurant is full and staff cannot be as attentive as diners may desire. Though our meals did not meet our expectations, the setting cerrtainly did. We spent an hour taking in the scene below and the cable cars coming and going.

Stumbled across this gem while exploring Motomachi and decided to grab a quick bite. We opted for a bacon roll and sausage platter to share - and oh boy, it did not disappoint. The bacon roll was incredible we ended up ordering another. Service was great and staffs were really friendly. It's certainly worth a visit

This restaurant immediately caught my eye when we were walking between the Jujigai tram stop and the Motomachi District. First, it seemed to be much larger than the typical Japanese eatery. Second, it showed off a Western rather than an Asian decor, a look that we had not seen in three weeks of traveling throughout Japan. So we decided to return here for lunch.When we entered at 2:45 p.m., i noted that there were two large dining rooms with customers still eating at about 15 linen-clad tables. An English-speaking waiter came to our table and ensured that we had a menu in English. One look at the offerings and it became obvious that we were in a curry restaurant. Most of the set lunch menus featured curry, a dish that holds no appeal for me. But I found a seafood offering -- salmon and mushrooms prepared meuniere style -- and I ordered that. My husband chose hash beef with brown curry sauce over rice, part of a set that came with soup, salad and a drink.My dish arrived. beautifully presented and brimmed with other seafood besides salmon, Including big, plump scallops, to which I am severely allergic. Our waiter's vocabulary did not extend to "allergic" so my husband and I decided to exchange dishes. He liked mine and much to my surprise, I liked his immensely. The curry proved to be mild and flavorful and a plate held condiments, such as peanuts, ginger, pickles and spring onions, which I could add as desired. My experience here served as an important reminder for me to determine all the ingredients in a dish before ordering, because of food sensitivities, and not to assume that what was listed is alI I would get.Our meals came to Y2,200 (plus tax), which we thought was quite reasonable.

I read about this store in the internet and travel issues before. I chose that as one of the âmust-goâ place and we did not disappoint for a second. We like the atmosphere here as well as the items that the store offer. I bought one mayonnaise bottle as recommended by my friends. We choose two burgers and they were extremely tasty and cheewy. The flavor is unbeatable. We will definitely come back for more experience if we had chance.
