Hyousetsu No Mon

A good crab restaurant in the central district of Sapporo. It is now well-known and is often reserved by Chinese and Korean people. Generally, reservations are required in advance. The taste is really good. I still want to have a try every time I go to Sapporo.

You can only eat it by making an appointment in advance. The store will post the names of the guests who make reservations every day on the door, which is quite interesting. Ice and Snow Gate was founded in 1964 and specializes in various crab dishes, especially king crab.

The decoration inside the store is simple and quaint. There are not many people at lunch time. The quiet and elegant atmosphere makes people feel very relaxed. The lunch set is very rich. The crab salad is refreshing and contains a lot of crab meat. The crab sashimi and sushi are also good.

For crabs, there are various sets, and reservations are required. It is definitely better than Kani Dole, but the porridge at the end is average, maybe my expectations are too high. It is more like rice porridge than porridge. However, everything here in Hokkaido is salty, and rice porridge tastes very sad. I think I am still suitable for the Chaoshan flavor of seafood porridge.

I came to the Ice and Snow Gate specifically to taste crabs. From a distance, I saw the introduction of various sets of meals in the window at the door. The prices were transparent and the tax-inclusive prices were clearly listed. Since I had made an appointment in advance, I went directly to the second floor, which was the private dining area for individual customers. I took off my shoes and sat on the tatami. Looking at this elegant environment, I couldn't help but calm down. I looked at the supreme set meal containing king crab, snow crab and hair crab. It cost 13,600 yen per person including tax, equivalent to RMB 850. I didn't dare to be so extravagant. We had two mid-range sets, one of which was a hot pot set meal with snow crab hot pot, crab cream roast, snow crab sashimi, snow crab sushi, snow crab tempura and crab soup. The tax-inclusive price was 4,320 yen, and the content was very rich. The service here is very considerate, and it is also equipped with tea, hot towels and a spoon specially used to pick crab meat, which is full of sincerity. The snow crab hot pot was served in a pot made of tin foil. The waiter specifically asked us to wait until the fire was extinguished before eating. It was really fresh and authentic. We couldn't wait to finish all the crabs and soup. A wonderful enjoyment!

Hokkaido is famous for its crabs. In Sapporo Snow Gate, Kani Honke and Kani General are the three most famous crab restaurants. It is said that reservations are required for these restaurants, otherwise you will not be able to eat. However, when we went there, it was not long after the Hokkaido earthquake, so there were not many customers and no queues. The crabs are delicious, but a little expensive. I will have to save money when I go back.

I have never made do with a meal in Hokkaido... I have made clear arrangements. First of all, I would like to remind everyone that you can make reservations directly on the official website of this restaurant. There is no complicated procedure and you can basically understand it. Get a ticket number and arrive at the restaurant at the agreed time on the day. Your name will be posted on the reservation list. It seems that you cannot eat directly on the spot without making a reservation. The restaurant is not difficult to find. It takes about half an hour to walk from Sapporo Station. I directly chose the set meal I booked online. The set meal is very large... Two girls will eat until their stomachs explode. The set meal of one crab is good. Each part will be clearly arranged. The waitress brought a live hairy crab. It was so big and a bit scary. She asked us to confirm it before taking it down for processing. My favorite is the crab roe rice, with a special dipping sauce, the flavor is very rich... The shabu-shabu soup base is very delicious, I kept saying that I couldn't eat more, but I ended up eating all the udon noodles [囧] Remind you that it is best to make a reservation before 12:30, the restaurant closes at 15:00, and the crabs are served one by one very slowly. I thought I ate fast enough, but I still ate until three o'clock.

·Ice and Snow Gate was founded in 1964 and specializes in various crab dishes, especially king crab. ·It offers a variety of crab dishes, including tender and sweet crab sashimi; steamed crab with rich crab roe; other parts of the crab are paired with seafood to make hot pot, served with eggs and rice, and a bowl is very satisfying. ·With the restrictions on fishing in Japan's coastal waters, it is becoming increasingly difficult to catch high-quality king crabs, so Ice and Snow Gate went to Alaska to fish for them. ·The restaurant is large, with 6 floors and 320 seats, and the Japanese-style decoration also reflects the local characteristics.
