Sapporo's summer specialty, "Sapporo Odori Beer Garden 2025", will open again this year on July 18th! We will take a look around all six venues spread across 5th to 11th streets of Odori Park in Sapporo and thoroughly report on the recommended gourmet food to enjoy with beer. We will introduce six unique foods from each venue, from zangi, pizza, Genghis Khan, authentic German sausages, and the popular soft serve ice cream.

[For more information on all 6 venues, please see this article !]

"Yoyotei Supervised Genghis Khan" (1,500 yen) is supervised by a popular Genghis Khan restaurant located near the Susukino intersection.

The recommended gourmet food at "ASAHI SUPER DRY BEER PARK" on Nishi 6-chome is the Jingisukan, supervised by the famous restaurant "Yoyoyotei", which is popular for its Jingisukan and original lamb dishes! The sauce is not too sweet, so you can really taste the flavor of the lamb. It is just the right amount of volume, containing not only meat but also vegetables such as cabbage, onions, and bean sprouts.

I enjoyed it with "Asahi Super Dry Extra Cold" (435ml/750 yen) served in an original tumbler!

West 6th Street venue with plenty of shade. Feel safe even on sunny days.

In the humid weather that has continued for the past few days, a cold Asahi Super Dry is especially delicious. There are many large trees at the 6th Street venue, so it was comfortable to sit in the shade.

Freshly baked authentic oven-baked "Kujo Leek and Shirasu Pizza" 2,700 yen

The recommended gourmet food at Nishi 7-chome "Kirin Ichiban Shibori Beer Garden" is the piping hot pizza, which is not pre-made but baked in a kiln one by one after an order is placed. The balance of fluffy whitebait, crunchy Kujo leeks, and chewy, fragrant dough is exquisite.

The beer that accompanies the drink is Kirin Ichiban Shibori, which is also delicious, but this time I chose a 3-kind craft beer tasting set (330ml x 3 glasses, 2,200 yen). The set includes three kinds of beer: powerful, fruity, and unique.

The beers in the set are served differently each day.

Since you can compare different drinks in just the right amount, it's also recommended for girls' get-togethers where you're not too strong with alcohol but would like to try a variety of drinks.

Hokkaido's unique soul food goes perfectly with beer: "Otaru Ushio Zangi" (4 pieces, 950 yen)

The recommended gourmet food at "THE Sapporo Beer Garden" on Nishi 8-chome is "Zangi", a Hokkaido soul food that goes perfectly with Sapporo Classic! Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, it has an exquisite salty taste. It's not heavy but satisfying, and will make you want to drink more and more beer.

We paired it with the popular fruity-flavored "Sapporo Classic Summer Refreshment" (medium mug, 800 yen), which is only available at the 8th Street venue.

Tourists should definitely try the Hokkaido-exclusive "Sapporo Classic"

The famous large tent is an iconic feature of Sapporo Odori Beer Garden, and it was bustling with people from the very first day.

At Nishi 10-chome, you can enjoy not only beer but also gourmet food from around the world. "Chicken Grill" 700 yen

At the 10th Street venue, where beers from all over the world are lined up, you can enjoy snacks from all over the world. This time, we chose the grilled chicken from "El Asador," a popular restaurant serving Spanish, Mexican, and Latin American cuisine with branches in Kutchan and other areas.

The fragrantly grilled chicken was tender and juicy, and surprisingly light and delicious. I enjoyed it with an Italian beer called "Dreher" (330ml, 800 yen).

More than 100 kinds of beer from around the world

Many beers from around the world are served in bottles, so you'll want to order a variety and try them all.

*The World Gourmet Square venue in 10th Street will have a different menu for the first period from July 18th to 31st, and for the second period from August 1st to 13th.

Perfect with German beer! "Berliner Currywurst" (800 yen)

Currywurst, which is said to have originated in Berlin, is a dish of grilled sausages generously covered in ketchup and curry powder. The slightly spicy and fragrant sausages go perfectly with German beer. The sauerkraut (salted cabbage) served as a palate cleanser was also delicious.

The beer that goes with it is the limited edition "Hofbräu Schwarz Weiss" (300ml, 1,400 yen). Although it has an alcohol content of 5.1%, it has a rich, sweet aroma and a full-bodied flavor.

Enjoy the taste of Germany, the home of authentic beer, at Nishi 11-chome

Inside the venue, beer from Hofbräu, the official Bavarian state brewery of Germany's Oktoberfest, is served. You can enjoy the authentic taste.

Last year's popular dessert is back again this year! "JIM BEAM Premium Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream" (630 yen)

The reason we are introducing the 5th block venue last is because we wanted to introduce this dessert! Jim Beam's original soft serve ice cream, which was very popular last year, will be available again in 2025. It has an alcohol content of 3.6%, a strong Jim Beam flavor, and a rich yet refreshing taste.

For non-alcoholic drinkers, try the alcohol-free "Hokkaido Milk Soft Serve Ice Cream" (480 yen). This soft serve ice cream has a gentle texture and a rich milky taste, and goes well with beer as well as highballs.

Nishi 5-chome has a wide selection of mega-sized dishes perfect for groups

The 5th Chome venue is marked by a blue-roofed tent. It is the closest venue to the TV tower, so it is popular with tourists.

What did you think? Sapporo Odori Beer Garden has a wide variety of food, so it can be enjoyed not only by beer lovers, but also by those who can't drink alcohol or can't drink at all.

In addition to the menu we introduced this time, there are many other delicious beers and gourmet foods available. The event will run until Wednesday, August 13th. Please come and visit us!
