Recommended for these people

People who want to eat food made with Hokkaido ingredients

People who want to drink Hokkaido wine

People who are tired of Hokkaido’s sushi, Genghis Khan, and ramen

People who drink alcohol: Many dishes are seasoned with salt.

For those who have time: There is only one chef and one or two staff members, so it takes time to serve the food and pay the bills. Dinner takes about two and a half hours.

Atmosphere of the restaurant

Unpretentious casual atmosphere.

Reservation

Seminar is one of the most popular Italian restaurants in Sapporo.

It’s a popular restaurant with limited seating, so it’s best to make a reservation.

It was full when I visited. It is better to make a reservation online.

My review_Night visit in February 2024

The dishes made with Hokkaido ingredients were delicious, but many of the dishes were a bit too salty and oily.

My Order

Chef’s choice（8,500JPY）, Beer and Wine

kathy

There is a system where you order wine by telling them your approximate budget.

**This is a Hokkaido wine called Hinode Danke.**

Bill

Credit card is available.

Served cuisine

The course of 7 dishes + focaccia + dessert was satisfying.

Many ingredients from Hokkaido are used.

kathy

When I went, the following dishes were served, but since it’s chef’s choice, I think it varies depending on the day.

Focaccia

Served warm. Even though it’s focaccia, it’s very fluffy and soft.

Prosciutto consommé soup

It’s unusual as it’s a Prosciutto ham consommé. The flavor is stronger than regular consommé soup.

Prosciutto and Okoppe milk mozzarella cheese 　*Okoppe= town in Hokkaido

This may have been the most delicious!!

The mozzarella cheese in particular was the most delicious I’ve ever had, so if you see Okoppe Milk’s mozzarella cheese somewhere, you should buy it.

It also went great with the prosciutto.

ポチップ

Marinated sardines from Yoichi 　*Yoichi = town in Hokkaido

The sardines are from Yoichi, Hokkaido. There’s no fishy smell at all, and I think they use fresh sardines.

Ashoro Cheese Factory cheese and Japanese yam fritto　*Ashoro = town in Hokkaido

Is this the correct color? I felt like it was a little overcooked.

However, the taste is made from grilled cheese and Japanese yam, so there’s no way it wouldn’t be delicious.

The cheese was rich but went well with the smooth yam.

Wassamu cabbage under winter snow and dried mullet roe pasta *Wassamu = town in Hokkaido

It’s a luxury.

There is also plenty of mullet. Cabbage is stored under snow. It can be found in supermarkets in Hokkaido, and it is sweeter than regular cabbage.

The pasta was thick noodles, but al dente and filling.

Aibetsu Maitake mushroom and Tomakomai surf clam risotto *Aibetsu and Tomakomai = towns in Hokkaido

There are a lot of surf clams in it, but I think they are fresh and not fishy.

Aibetsu Maitake is a very large and sturdy Maitake, but it didn’t have much of a Maitake feel to it. This risotto was also rich and had a strong taste.

Burdock and beef …I forget the name of the dish

The burdock was especially delicious! It has a soft finish.

According to the chef, it took 3 hours to prepare. The beef was delicious as it looked, but it was a little too salty and oily for me.

Panna cotta and haskap sorbet

Refreshing haskap sorbet and smooth panna cotta that you can enjoy even after a big meal. Haskap is a fruit from Hokkaido that has a sour taste and is perfect as an after-dinner dessert.

My companion ordered a Catalana. It was delicious, but it was so hard that I couldn’t put a fork into it. Anyway, it was a very dense dessert.
