Here’s a dinner spot to recommend: Tsubara Tsubara, right next to Izumikyo, is said to serve the best soup curry in Niseko—even locals give it a big thumbs-up!❗️

What is soup curry? It’s a Hokkaido specialty created for the cold climate, different from the usual thick Japanese curry. It’s more like a hotpot soup base you can drink, with a choice of spice levels. Don’t think Japanese food isn’t spicy—this soup curry brings real heat! I tried medium spicy and felt the kick right away. If you’re a chili lover, take on their highest level and share your review with us‼️

The menu is packed with different soup curry flavors. The tender, melt-in-your-mouth chicken and the thick-cut bacon (so satisfying to bite into!) are top recommendations. Veggie friends, don’t worry—this place is a paradise not just for meat lovers, but also has a veggie soup curry loaded with fresh local produce. Even my vegetarian friends couldn’t stop raving about it, already planning their next visit after finishing their meal.

Besides the regular soup curry, there’s an upgraded hotpot version with even more tasty ingredients and meatballs, cooked right at your table in a cast iron pot—super satisfying! 😋
