Kikuyo Shokudo Main Store

Founded in 1956, Kikuyo Shokudo Main Store started as a small establishment with about ten seats but has now expanded to accommodate thirty seats. In response to its popularity, the diner has grown to include several locations: a branch a short 30-second walk from the main store, a Bay Area store, and a New Chitose Airport store, serving locals and travelers alike with dishes made from fresh ingredients sourced in Hakodate.
