Japanese restaurant • 1 Chome-2 Minami 3 Jonishi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0063, Japan
Naturi-ya stands on a corner of Sapporo with the lingering scent of the Showa era. Since its establishment over 60 years ago, this long-established Japanese restaurant has evolved by incorporating traditional techniques and new ideas to keep up with the times.
The specialty of Naturi-ya is the hearty 'Katsu-don'. Tender pork cutlet is generously served in a bowl, with the texture of the cabbage below adding to the experience. Despite being a popular spot, the reasonable prices are appealing.
The interior of the restaurant is small, reminiscent of the old days, but this is also part of its charm. The prompt serving of the Katsu-don gives a feeling of 'Japanese fast food'. In the bustling presence of the owner, glimpses of artisan qualities can be seen.
Visiting Naturi-ya feels like time has stopped in the Showa retro space. Take a break from the hustle and bustle and savor a deep, flavorful dish.
