What is the "Susukino Zero Address Development Tour"?
1)Head to Susukino No. 0, Sapporo's oldest underground restaurant district
Susukino, a downtown area in Sapporo, Hokkaido, is said to have around 3,500 restaurants and cafes.
This tour will take you to a place that remains unchanged in this city.This is Susukino Zero Address, Sapporo's oldest underground restaurant district.
Lined with around 30 restaurants and cafes, the area is known as an underground shopping mall where you can walk around without getting wet even on snowy days.
According to what I've heard, a market was established here in 11, and restaurants started to gather here in the 40s, eventually taking on its current form. Each store is very small.
The area is a collection of small establishments, each with around six seats, including a restaurant run by a former hotel chef that serves set courses without a menu, and a snack bar that has been in business for over 50 years, all of which create a unique atmosphere.
Perhaps that's why surprisingly few locals have actually set foot here.
It's truly a "deep place." If you go here, you're sure to encounter new people, drinks, and food. You're sure to have a great time staying up late.
XNUMX)Includes in-depth commentary by your local guide, the OMO Ranger
The tour will be accompanied by the OMO Rangers.
The tour will explain about Sapporo, the pioneering city, the history of Susukino, and the cuisine of each store and the owner's particularities, which you won't know just by walking around. Tour participants will also be handed a "Susukino Zero Address Development Badge" featuring Dr. Clark, known as the "Father of Hokkaido Development."
Even after the tour ends, if you wear this badge and visit a restaurant in Susukino Zero-banchi, you can order special menu items and expect to get some other special benefits, like "something interesting might happen!"
This is the rumored "Susukino Zero"!!
