Lamb Lamb Dining Hokkaido, a Jingisukan restaurant that uses NZ lamb meat, which is scarce in Japan, and is not only famous for its Jingisukan menu.
Ram Ram Dining Hokkaido, a jingisukan restaurant in Sapporo Maruyama, was established in Shinshinotsu Village, Hokkaido, and has become a hot spot in Sapporo for its high quality lamb meat. In addition to Jingisukan, they offer various ways to eat lamb, such as shabu-shabu and hamburger steak. Here we introduce the delicious taste of each menu item, including Jingisukan, as well as some of the restaurant's unexpected recommendations.

The pure white signboard is a landmark.
Ram Ram Dining Hokkaido, a jingisukan restaurant in Maruyama, is conveniently located less than a minute's walk from the No. 6 exit of Nishi 18-chome Station on the Tozai Subway Line. Facing the street, the restaurant is located in a slightly secluded position, giving it a sense of being in a secluded spot. Upon entering through the door, you will find yourself in a spacious and deep restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere reminiscent of a Western-style restaurant. In addition to table and counter seating, there is also a small area with sofa seating.
The restaurant also has a wine cellar. The large windows provide soft light inside the restaurant.
Serves quality lamb certified by the New Zealand government.
Thick-cut shoulder loin" from which only a few can be obtained from a single lamb: 1,500 yen
The lamb is from New Zealand, and is raised only on young grass without artificial feed. Since only lambs less than six months old are used, the meat has an extremely low characteristic smell and is characterized by the rich umami of the meat itself. To minimize as much as possible the odor caused by loss of freshness, the meat is cut to order (except for seasoned Jingisukan).
Three kinds of "Sankyasuri" 1,800 yen (photo shows two servings); yakisoba noodles made with chanpon noodles are popular as a finishing dish.
To taste the deliciousness of lamb meat, we recommend the "Three Kinds of Lamb" dish. This luxurious set includes thick and tender fresh lamb, seasoned Genghis Khan marinated in soy sauce-based sauce, and shoulder slices with a perfect balance of lean and fat. There are two types of dipping sauces, a fruity sweet one and a dry one with stimulating ginger, each with a different range of flavors. The seasoned Genghis Khan is marinated in a secret recipe that the owner, Hiroaki Tanaka, learned from his mentor.
Unlikely! "Genghis Khan style lamb hamburger steak."
Lamb hamburger steak" 900 yen. The restaurant recommends cooking it medium rare.
The restaurant serves lamb in a variety of styles, including shabu-shabu, steak, and lamb chops, but the "lamb hamburger steak" is a menu item that is becoming increasingly popular. The lamb hamburger is made with fresh meat, hand-kneaded daily, and 100% lamb meat with no additives of any kind. The lamb hamburger is served pre-browned, but can be grilled to your liking in a Genghis Khan pot. The juices dripping from the meat are absorbed by the vegetables, so the umami is not wasted.
The groove-less Genghis Khan pot is a custom-made product designed for better heat distribution and less smoke. Perfect for grilling hamburgers.
When you take a bite, you will be surprised to find that you can hardly smell it. The meat has a firm texture characteristic of coarsely ground meat, and the umami of the lamb is concentrated. It is just like "biting into a piece of meat".
Serve with herb salt or a special soy sauce-based steak sauce.
The restaurant's calm interior can be enjoyed for a wide range of occasions, from lunch to dinner.
Mr. Tanaka also has a medium-sized vegetable garden and actively uses vegetables harvested there!
For those who want to eat a lot, there is a 90-minute all-you-can-drink course menu, which can be ordered on the same day. The restaurant is also open for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays only, and offers a set meal style menu that includes its signature hamburger steak as the main dish, as well as vegetables, a small bowl of cooked food, and soup. You can choose from 150g, 200g, or 300g hamburgers. From small parties to lunch, you can enjoy high-quality lamb meat in a variety of settings at Lam Lam Dining.
