GENGHIS KHAN
Genghis Khan is a lamb barbecue dish. For a country that never had a large lamb eating scene, this soul food was pioneered in Hokkaido when marinating lamb in an apple and onion sauce gained popularity. Genghis Khan is simple at first sight with hidden depths, combining chewy mutton with the milder flavor of lamb. Cuts such as sirloin, shoulder and leg meat are complemented by the restaurant’s condiments of choice, such as the classic soy sauce and miso. Salt has also gained popularity in recent years for the way it accentuates the flavor of the meat. If it’s your first time visiting a particular restaurant, it’s worth asking the staff for tips on the best way to grill the meat.
Sapporo is full of Genghis Khan restaurants, from those with large halls to small specialty joints with their own unique flair. No matter which door you open, you will be greeted by a lively and buzzing atmosphere. Washing Genghis Khan down with a cold beer is a must!

Genghis Khan (lamb BBQ) at Sapporo Beer Garden was a first for me, and I loved it. It doesn’t get any better than munching on succulent cuts of meat and sharing a refreshing beer or two with your friends. The lively atmosphere of the large beer hall was exciting, and it felt like we were sharing a special moment with everyone there.

Genghis Khan lamb BBQ was probably my favorite dish from the whole trip. You get to grill the meat with your friends while sharing stories from the day with a cold lager. Juicy cuts of lamb and mutton melt in your mouth and pair perfectly with the savory taste of the sauces. I can’t think of a better way to end a long day of snowboarding.
