Izakaya Tenkin

From JR Asahikawa Station, go north on Shopping Park Street and turn left on 4-jo Street, where you will be greeted by bright red large and small lanterns. This is a popular restaurant in Asahikawa that has been in business for nearly 60 years, “Izakaya Tengane”.

It boasts fresh seafood from Hokkaido, and we order ingredients from all over Hokkaido. There are more than 200 flavors available, including dishes unique to Hokkaido that incorporate plenty of seasonal and original dishes from the restaurant, so you won’t know what to eat. Starting with the proud “salt-grilled taraba”, there are a variety of dishes made with seasonal ingredients from Hokkaido, such as raw sea urchin sashimi, raw hokke miso pickles, and pickled Chinese cabbage.

The interior of the restaurant is lively, with a U-shaped counter on the first floor, where you can catch a glimpse of the artisans cooking right in front of you. Even though it has a fairly popular atmosphere, you can eat delicious food in all of them. The pricing is reasonable, and it is truly an ally of the common people.

It is a popular restaurant that is crowded with many people from locals to tourists every day, so reservations are recommended. You can head while strolling around the Peace Street Shopping Park at a moderate distance from JR Asahikawa Station. Please enjoy the deliciousness of Hokkaido at a lively izakaya that colors the night in Asahikawa.
