Kurotsura Tei Main Branch

Nestled in the bustling area of Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Kurotsura Tei stands out as a premier destination for lovers of the traditional Hokkaido dish, Jingisukan. Here, thick yet tender Suffolk lamb cuts are served using a unique method—grilled on a flat ceramic plate rather than the conventional helmet shape. This distinct cooking technique enhances the juicy texture and rich flavor profile of the lamb, which is celebrated for its lack of gamey odor. At Kurotsura Tei, guests can savor prime cuts such as the thick loin and shoulder, marinated in olive oil to accentuate the luscious natural flavors. Diners can choose seasonings from rock salt, soy sauce, or miso sauce, to tailor their experience to suit their palate, often enriched further by sublime hints of garlic and chili pepper. Just a short stroll from Susukino Station, the restaurant is tucked away in a basement space, offering an intimate setting that contradicts the lively street above. With cozy interiors, Kurotsura Tei creates a welcoming, warm ambiance, making it perfect for enjoying hearty dishes either alone or during a relaxed meal with friends. The establishment is celebrated for its all-you-can-eat-and-drink options, providing excellent value. Boasting attentive service led by a charming owner from Tokyo, it’s no surprise that locals frequently recommend this culinary gem for an authentic Sapporo dining experience.
