Positives:

The taste and atmosphere at the Sapporo Beer Garden were truly excellent. We really enjoyed our time there. One downside, however, was that we were a group of four, and one of us is a vegetarian. We had to order the meat buffet for all four of us and then add a separate seafood dish just for the vegetarian, which was a bit disappointing. Still, it’s definitely worth visiting at least once!

I opted for the all-you-can-eat for ¥7500 a person and the all-you-can-d...

Good grilled hot pan. What recommended was the lamp and variety of sapporo beer! 🍺 The atmosphere kinda feels like canteen but people come here to have a good time in a big table or group. With the snow outside make the vibe always feel like Christmas! 🎄 😆
