In Sapporo, new Genghis Khan restaurants are opening one after another. "Lamb King," popular for its fresh, odorless lamb meat, opened its fourth store in December last year. The lamb meat is moist and juicy, and is a must-try recommended restaurant for Hokkaido residents.

The counter seats are convenient for single diners.

Ramu-oh is a popular restaurant that opened in 2017 and is crowded with customers every day. There are two stores in the city, including a sister store, and one in Kitahiroshima, but this annex opened in December 2024. It offers a full range of all-you-can-eat and drink options, which are rare for a Genghis Khan specialty restaurant, with eight courses ranging from 3,980 yen for 90 minutes to 6,380 yen for 120 minutes. All-you-can-drink only is 1,280 yen, and all-you-can-eat only is available from 2,980 yen. You can order even if you are alone and do not have a reservation.

The sunken kotatsu seats can accommodate up to 23 people. Perfect for banquets and parties.

The most popular item is the "Fresh Lamb Steak" at 1,580 yen

Lamb King's Genghis Khan is sourced from New Zealand, known worldwide for its lamb. It is fresh and never frozen, and is sourced chilled. Because it is fresh, it has little of the distinctive smell, and you can enjoy the original flavor of lamb, such as the subtle sweetness of the fat and the umami of the red meat. The popular "lamb steak" is an extremely thick cut of shoulder loin, about 2cm thick. It is cooked medium rare to make it moist and juicy.

"Lamb Shoulder" - 980 yen - low in fat and with a rich red meat flavor

The Jingisukan at "Lamb King" is fresh and has little of the typical smell, making it easy to eat even for first timers. Jingisukan is usually served on a dome-shaped iron plate, but this iron plate is a custom-made bowl-shaped iron plate. Because of its shape, the smoke does not stick to your body, so you don't even notice the smell after eating. The lack of smell is also popular with female customers.

By placing a lot of vegetables in the center, the fat from the meat will accumulate and the vegetables will absorb the flavor of the meat.

The sauces available are the original soy sauce, garlic sauce, and the original rock salt made with a blend of five spices. The simple seasoning brings out the flavor of the lamb, and the more you chew it, the more the flavor of the meat comes out.

Adding rock salt gives it a refreshing taste. You can also taste the sweetness of the fat.

"Lamb Tongue" with a fluffy and chewy texture, 980 yen

Lamb King also serves the rare cut of lamb tongue, of which only 80g can be obtained from one cow. The crunchy texture, moist and soft meat, and the flavor of lamb that spreads softly in your mouth are irresistible. They serve 70g per serving.

The popular sausages are made from 100% lamb meat and come in three varieties: plain, garlic, and chorizo. They also offer lamb meatballs mixed with special spices, and beef and pork innards for other dishes to enjoy. The wide range of menu options is another attraction of this restaurant.

"We welcome single diners as well," says store manager Shohei Yamakawa.

During the summer (June 15th to September 10th), a beer garden will be held on the rooftop of the Champs Elysees Building in Susukino (4-1 Chuo Minami 4-jo Nishi 5-chome, Sapporo). The miso sauce, which is only available at the Kitahiroshima store, will also be served. The garlicky miso flavor goes perfectly with the lamb. They also serve Ramuo's original cold noodles, which are a bit different from Morioka's cold noodles. Please enjoy the "Reiwa Jingisukan" style that can only be tasted at Ramuo.
