HokkaidoDaikokuya

This Genghis Khan BBQ restaurant in Asahikawa was so popular they had a waiting room for customers in the building opposite so you didn’t have to stand out in frigid conditions. The BBQ was delicious with thick slices of lamb and the house tare sauce was smoky and tasty.

We ordered the recommended set at Daikokuya which came with 3 cuts of lamb - shoulder, fillet and shoulder loin, onions and vegetables. Their famous house made sauce is a must and perfectly compliments the juiciness of the lamb. The Mega Joki mugs of beer and highballs are awesome. Great atmosphere. Be prepared to smell like smoke and fat. I wouldnt wear my ski jacket in here as there is no way you are leaving without smelling like grilled lamb.
