Soup Curry GARAKU Sapporo Honten
スープカレー GARAKU 札幌本店
One of Sapporo's most popular soup curry restaurants, famous for its tender chicken leg and vegetable curry, relocated near Nijo Market in 2025.
The flagship store relocated to a basement space near Nijo Market in October 2025, doubling its seating capacity compared to the old location (though many websites still display the old address). The signature dish features a bone-in chicken leg stewed until tender, served with a variety of vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and lotus root in a Japanese-dashi-infused curry broth. You can customize the spice level and rice portion, and add toppings like grilled cheese. The Camembert cheese special, exclusive to this location, is also highly popular. Queues are notoriously long, sometimes reaching two hours on weekend evenings; arriving before opening on weekdays or around 14:00–15:00 is recommended. Average spend is 1,500–2,000 JPY per person. A 5-minute walk from Odori Subway Station.
Opening hours
11:30–15:30 (L.O. 15:00), 17:00–21:00 (L.O. 20:30); irregular holidays, closes early if soup runs out
