My favorite restaurant is Shinshin-an.  It serves traditional Japanese food.  It is located at 1-5, Minami 11 Jo, Nishi 20 Chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo.  The telephone number is 011-522-1022.  It is open from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for lunch and from 5:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. for dinner.

There are many kinds of great course meals for both lunch and dinner.  It is a little expensive but their food is great.  There are four different dinner course meals (¥5,800 〜 ¥18,000).  Among them I recommend the “Shitsurae“course dinner (¥12,000).  It comes with a lot of seasonal Hokkaido produced vegetables, meat, and seafood.  The ingredients are cooked excellently.  This course includes very good sushi, too.

There is a very beautiful Japanese garden and swimming carp.  You can relax and enjoy their delicious dishes.
