If you’re wandering through Sapporo and craving something a bit different from the usual sushi or ramen spots, Sapporo Jingisukan Main Shop is a place you’ll want to check out. Tucked in the heart of Chuo Ward at Minami 6 Jonishi, this cozy mutton barbecue restaurant specializes in the Hokkaido-style “Jingisukan,” where tender, juicy slices of mutton are grilled right at your table, letting you control the sizzle and char to your taste. The vibe is casual but lively, perfect for groups or anyone wanting a hands-on dining experience, and the scent of grilled meat wafting through the air instantly makes the mouth water. Alongside the main attraction of lamb, you can enjoy a selection of small plates that complement the barbecue beautifully, from lightly seasoned veggies to savory sides, making it easy to share and sample a bit of everything. For those who enjoy pairing their meal with drinks, the restaurant offers a neat variety of alcohol including locally brewed beer and a carefully chosen wine selection, all of which go surprisingly well with the smoky flavors on the grill. Since Sapporo Jingisukan Main Shop focuses on onsite dining, you get the full experience-no delivery or takeout, which means you can relax and soak up the atmosphere without rushing. The interior is practical yet welcoming, with tables set up to accommodate the interactive grilling style, and the staff are attentive, often ready to help with grill tips or recommendations if you’re new to this style of eating. Whether you’re a visitor eager to try a Hokkaido specialty or a local looking for a reliable spot to gather with friends, the combination of expertly prepared mutton, shareable small plates, and a friendly, engaging environment makes every visit memorable. Even casual diners can enjoy experimenting with different grilling techniques while sipping a cold beer or a glass of wine, adding a layer of fun to the meal that’s hard to find elsewhere in Sapporo, creating a dining experience that’s all about flavor, interaction, and a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere, perfectly suited for both newcomers and seasoned Jingisukan fans alike.

Revisited this genghis khan store after many years (it used to be on the second floor up some stairs in an old wooden room). We used to call this place "the lamb grill where my grandma's appetite suddenly doubled" since that was one of the times she actually finished all her meat and rice and asked for more from the rest of us. The current location and decor has lost some of the charm. Ventilation is as bad as ever so expect to smell like smoke when coming out. At least my jacket was protected in a wardrobe. One of the lady chefs still cuts the meat out in front and trims the fat (the last time it was an elderly man with spectacles). The meat is served unmarinated and is mainly lean meat. I really prefer this place over some other genghis khan restaurants due to the lack of marinade. Some other restaurants use a strong marinade (sometimes garlicky, sometimes sweet) which covers the freshness and smell of the lamb. The dipping sauce and rice are as good as ever. We finished 3 plates of meat each and were very satisfied with the meal.
A great place to experience one of sapporo's cuisine.. a very quaint hole in the wall right in the center of Susukin that's frequented by the locals The service was great and the lamb was superb.. if you want to try "Genghis Khan" without breaking your wallet...this place is highly recommended.
This is quite a life changing experience, having try the lamb in Sapporo for the first time. The meat is really moist and not smelly at all. Very hospitable owner. Recommended

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
