Happiness is a lemon sour and delicious yakitori at Yakitori Kushidori! Pork belly and chicken skin FTW!!
Shihachi Sapporo serves some of the freshest sashimi grade fish in town, and specialises in seafood bowls. The bowls are beautifully presented, almost like a parfait. They make their own special soy sauce. This is the fresh salmon, scallop, and salmon roe kaisen don.
Check out the size of this grilled Hokkaido scallop from the Japanese menu. 😮😮😮 So fresh! oishi!
Shihachi was started by a seafood distributor. Their Comichi laneway store in Tanuki Koji has a little seafood market on the side of their modern eatery. I ordered the 10 kinds of seafood bowl and it came overflowing with toppings. The pieces were big & chunky, different than on kaisendons i have had before. Slight challenge to eat but every piece is so fresh and bursting with flavour you just get lost in the moment. Don't worry Shihachi provides instructions on how to best enjoy your meal. TIP! The Japanese menu has a lot more dishes including grilled seafood, crab croquettes and a selection of sake.
The ultra modern pod at Torifito. It was more like a mini room. you had space to stretch, had a table, television and under bed lock up storage. Because its a capsule hotel they were no locks on the sliding doors.

Was surprised to see soup curry on Steamboat's menu, but it was actually quite terrible. Lacked spice and taste.
