Good for the body and delicious. The owner's "homemade" menu is filled with his specialties.
This restaurant is a must-visit for those who are inquisitive about food. Chef Utsugi is a quiet man with a passionate heart, and all of his dishes are truly exquisite. After working in restaurants in Tokyo and Okinawa, he moved to Sapporo and opened "Sopracciglia", which is now a popular restaurant with many fans.
There is a limit to the amount of food we can eat in our lifetime, so we want to eat food that tastes good and is good for us. That's why at Sopracciglia we use ingredients that are good for you," says Utsugi.
Utsugi, who is also a sake brewer, hunts deer in the mountains, plants rice for sake, fishes, and does everything else related to food! He also tries his hand at making the food and sake he serves at his restaurant.
The dishes that caught my attention included bacon made from venison he caught himself, cream cheese with herbs from his vegetable garden, homemade mayonnaise, and many more of Utsugi's homemade products! The once-in-a-lifetime encounter with dishes made with seasonal ingredients is even impressive.
Utsugi's attention to detail in his food grabs the stomachs of his customers. Many of the people who gather at Sopracciglia are particular about food, and he often receives information about good farmers and recommended ingredients.
Yabuta Pork", a pork product sold at Sopracciglia, is another farmer who was introduced to us through such an introduction. It is raised on a small pig farm surrounded by nature in the town of Tokachi Shimizu, and is not given artificial medicines such as vaccines or antibiotics. They also eat mainly vegetables and grains from natural farming methods in Hokkaido. Yabuta pigs are carefully raised with clean fat and tender meat. The restaurant offers a variety of menu items that are only possible because it buys half a pig directly from the market, and the super-fresh motsu (pork giblets) that arrive irregularly are said to be so good that fans fainter in agony!
In fact, Sopracciglia is the only restaurant in Sapporo that serves this Yabuta pork. Enjoy it in a luxurious hamburger steak or roasted.
It is definitely a must-try! The "Superb Puru-Puru Omelette made with eggs we are particular about."
The "mixed omelette" topped with Yabuta pork bacon is the most popular menu item. It uses "organic eggs" from Farm Agricola in Tobetsu Town, which Mr. Utsugi is also in love with. The omelette is baked to a soft cream color with no peculiar taste and the sweetness of the egg. The crispy Yabuta pork bacon is a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy. Enjoy the homemade mayonnaise and herb cream cheese to change the taste little by little.
There are many other delicious dishes on the menu, so you will want to share a lot of food with about 4 people. There is also an extensive drink menu, including natural wines from wineries in Japan and abroad, domestic makgeolli, and non-alcoholic beverages such as tomato juice produced in Hokkaido, so no matter who you come with, you will be happy with the lineup!
Brico, a select store where you can purchase carefully selected ingredients & foods from all over Japan
Utsugi, who was concerned that there were not enough stores in Hokkaido where you could buy Hokkaido products, opened the food select store "Brico" in "Sopracciglia" in 2023 to create a place where you can easily find and purchase good foodstuffs. If you enjoy the food you eat at the restaurant, you will be happy to know that you can buy it here.
In addition to items from Hokkaido, there are also foods from Kyushu, wines from Tohoku, and other items that Utsugi and the staff think are good. Of course, you can enter the store just for shopping.
Sopracciglia is perfect for those who love to eat, those who want to learn about Hokkaido's ingredients, and those who are conscious of a healthy diet. This is a restaurant that will please you and your friends and loved ones on all occasions. Go for a drink, go shopping at Brico, or enjoy a well-deserved drink...! Be sure to stop by when you are in Sapporo.
