Heiwaen is a yakiniku specialty restaurant founded in 1959 (Showa 34) with six locations in the Tokachi region and three in Sapporo, long beloved by locals 🥩
I visited the Shihoro branch, which opened in 1977!
I had the jingisukan set meal; the sauce clung to the meat and it was incredibly delicious 😋
There are many other menu items, and the prices are reasonable, so be sure to give it a try ✨🥰
-
Founded in 1959, Heiwaen now operates six shops in Tokachi and three in Sapporo and is cherished by local residents 🥩
This time I went to the Shihoro branch, opened in 1977, and tried Hokkaido’s famous jingisukan grilled lamb; the meat wasn’t gamey and each slice was coated in a rich sauce—very tasty 😋
Beyond lamb, there are plenty of options to choose from, and the prices are a great value!
If you visit the Tokachi area, you definitely should taste it!

July has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Temperatures in Tokachi have risen, and summer is finally here.
On the 25th of last month, Hidaka Mountain Range–Erimo–Tokachi National Park was newly designated as Japan’s 35th national park and Hokkaido’s seventh, making it the largest national park by area in the country.
On clear days you can see the rugged ridgeline of the Hidaka Mountains from Tokachigaoka Observatory, about a five‑minute drive from the Tokachigawa hot spring district.
