Sapporo Factory
4 Chome Kita 2 Johigashi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 060-0032
Glass-roofed mall on a former brewery site, with a working beer hall and seasonal barbecue gardens.
This guide to Sapporo Factory starts in the courtyard of the old red brick brewery, where every summer diners crowd around domed iron griddles for Jingisukan, mutton and onions named half in joke for Genghis Khan, alongside all-you-can-drink draft beer. You'll hear how the site's five-story glass-roofed Atrium grew into an unlikely mix of restaurants, from tonkatsu and tempura to a full Indian kitchen down the row from fried chicken. Follow your nose from the courtyard's grill smoke into the malt and hops of the brick hall inside.
