The experience

You meet under the Nikka Whisky Billboard in front of Sapporo Kashi-Dokoro Kakasha and spend the next three hours moving through three restaurants in the Susukino district. The guide handles the ordering and pacing at each stop, so you focus on eating and drinking without the usual friction of navigating a foreign menu or figuring out what to order next. This is not a lecture about food culture. It's a sequence of meals at places where locals actually eat.

The first stop is a traditional Japanese restaurant where you eat fresh seafood (tuna, salmon, mini ikura bowls) caught from Hokkaido's waters. The second takes you to a yakiniku spot for Genghis Khan, Sapporo's signature lamb grilled over charcoal, sizzling at your table with the guide helping you navigate the cooking and the ordering. The third is a dessert café where you finish with Shime Parfait, Sapporo's tradition of ending the night sweet. You're welcome to stay at the final stop if you want to linger.

Three or more drinks come with the tour. If you want more, bring cash. The guide is certified and speaks English. Vegetarian options exist but are limited, so mention dietary needs at least one day ahead: requests made the day of the tour can't be accommodated. The tour starts on time, so arrive early. If you're late and miss the group, you won't be able to join, get a refund or reschedule. Public transportation is nearby if you need it to get to the meeting point.

What exactly is Genghis Khan, the dish I'll eat at the second stop?
