One of Hokkaido's signature dishes is the Genghis Khan lamb barbecue, and Daikoku is probably the most famous restaurant. There are many branches, but the barbecue atmosphere is quite heavy and not that great; it's just a place where you can eat.

I tried all three cuts, and my favorite was the tenderloin, which was soft and flavorful. The meat had a good texture and aroma, but as expected, the price difference does make an impact. The charcoal grilling added a smoky flavor, but some might find the smoke a bit overpowering, which adds another layer of taste. It's one of the places suitable for Japan's culture of hopping between several restaurants in one evening. The menu is relatively simple, making it perfect for our night out, especially after just finishing at a restaurant specializing in Shiretoko beef barbecue, which felt a bit underwhelming and left me feeling empty. So I came to the lamb barbecue restaurant, which was a nice way to experience Japanese culture, but overall, it was just average.
