COCO'S over by the Highway 4 bypass has REAL (well, good, anyway) quesadillas. And we thought Mexican food was impossible over here!
GUSTO has an American-style cheeseburger! I mean, this thing has a bun and comes with fries and everything! OOohhh... restaurant cheeeseburrgerrr....
STEAK ONE! There's only one place to go when you want (fairly) good meat and an all-you-can-eat salada bar. And at a nice, 5-minute walk from the station, you just can't beat it.
KU-ZU-RYU (The Nine-Headed Dragon) is by far the best Chinese restaurant in town. Make reservations, though - it only fits about 16 people. The chef is really nice, too - he just thought that I came from the moon when I first walked in...
THERE's a Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream in the JUSCO department store (which also sells fleeces for 1,000 yen). WOO-HOOO!!

"GAROU" SAPPORO BEER HALL - Don't let this name fool you, either. Garou is like no Sapporo Beer Hall that I've ever been to. It is pleasant, however, and definately has what I would call a "European" pub-style feel to it. The food snacks are pretty good, and if you sit at the bar, the 69-year old "mama" will talk to you and pour you drinks (i.e. whisky and water). My favorite, though, is the draft Guiness. Mmmm...!

NAM BAR - As the name might suggest, this bar has NOTHING to do with Vietnam. About five-minutes' walk from the station, NAM's quiet atmosphere and low lighting make it a very suitable locale for large groups of loud foreigners. NAM is loved by ALTs for its wonderful "harf and harf", and for the infamous "car bomb" - a drink so infamous that it doesn't appear on the menu.
