Jingisukan is one of the most representative soul foods in Hokkaido. It is a type of barbecued meat dish unique to Hokkaido, in which mutton dipped in sauce is grilled in a special iron pot or pan. Nowadays, the sauce, ingredients, and grilling method have developed into a rich variety, and numerous specialty restaurants have appeared. We have selected authentic restaurants from among them.
