All Reviews of Jingisukan Daruma Main branch

Jingisukan Daruma Main Branch is a famous jingisukan lamb restaurant in Sapporo, and it has always been very popular. The atmosphere is lively, and the aroma of grilled lamb whets your appetite as soon as it arrives at the table. The lamb is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside after grilling, with a subtle charcoal aroma, and it goes really well with onions. A piping-hot jingisukan meal is a must when visiting Sapporo, so I’ve checked another item off my Hokkaido food list this time!

The lamb was marinated really well and full of flavor. Paired with sweet, nicely grilled onions that still had some crunch, it was already delicious even without dipping sauce. With their special sauce, you get another layer of flavor.

The only small downside is that the seats are a bit small and the spacing feels a little tight. Still, overall it’s definitely worth trying. Their corn silk tea is also really tasty, so I highly recommend ordering it with the meal.

If you love grilled lamb, you have to try this place!

If you're in Sapporo, Jingisukan Daruma Main branch is a must-visit.
It's just a 3-minute walk from Susukino Station, so access is super convenient.
Just be careful not to follow any touts along the way, since the area has a lot of flashy places!

It's a popular spot, so expect to wait in line. If you can, try to get there right when it opens in the evening.

The setup makes it easy for solo diners, too. You order and get your food over the counter.

If you order the basic Jingisukan, you'll get thick-cut onions by default.
The grilled meat and onions look so good, you'll want to snap a photo for sure.
The simple combo of meat, onions, and their special sauce will have you thinking, "Yeah, this is exactly what I wanted."

If you made it all the way here, just Jingisukan probably won't be enough!
Order some premium meat, too. Jingisukan & premium meat (or fillet) with rice comes to just over JPY 3,000.
For a solo yakiniku dinner, that's a great deal and you'll definitely leave satisfied.

After your trip, you might even want to try recreating the Daruma experience at home with some onions and meat—just for fun!
