Gotoken Honten Sekkatei
五島軒本店 レストラン雪河亭
Founded in 1879, this historic Hakodate Western-style restaurant features a main building designated as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property and is famous for its curry.
Starting in 1879 as a Russian restaurant and bakery before developing into a Western-style restaurant, its main building on Nijukkan-zaka was built in 1935 and is a nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Property. The most popular dish is the British-style curry, though French and Indian styles are also available. You can also try the Aigake Curry, which serves Meiji-style curry and British-style curry together on one plate. Meiji-era Western-style course meals and steaks are also offered. Reservations are accepted only for course meals; curry diners must wait for a table on-site, so arriving early during peak seasons is recommended. Free parking is available, and it is about a 5-minute walk from the Jujigai tram stop.

11:30 AM–3:00 PM (L.O. 2:30 PM), 5:00 PM–8:30 PM (L.O. 8:00 PM); Closed Tuesdays (except during certain periods) and Jan 1–2
