Update: From Sapporo

| 0 Comments

I wasn't supposed to spend too much time blogging, and spend more time adventuring, but I'm all adventured out for the moment, and this stopping point actually has internet, so why not take advantage of it?
Sapporo is one of those cities that's dangerous for a foodie like me.
The main JR station is located in the center of town, with a huge mall located on top of it, as well as several department stores around it. The 6th floor is full of restaurants and dessert cafes, and most importantly, most of them don't close until 11 pm. A movie theater sits on the 7th floor of the JR station/mall.
Sapporo Tower connected to the JR station rises 38 stories into the air to give a view of the entire city. At the top of the Tower is a tea cafe, as well as a lounge to just chill.
If Tokyo is the Japanese equivalent of New York, I'd say Sapporo is San Francisco with food competition restaurants. In Sapporo, there are a number of restaurants here that offer as-much-as-you-can-eat (fill-in-the-blank)-in 120 minutes.
After the harrowing journey to Sapporo, I found myself hungry, and unlike the malls in the United States, the restaurants in malls in Japan are actually pretty good so I stopped in at a restaurant called Molette -- their specialty is omelettes, but I ordered bacon spaghetti topped with green peppers, onions, basil, and japanese eggplant instead, as I dislike having omelettes for dinner. It was tasty, but also very greasy -- no doubt the spaghetti was stir-fried in the grease leftover from the bacon. It's also a place for desserts. If I had more time, more money I'd likely try many more things, but alas, both are a limited resource.
