Get Hooked on Okushiba Shoten’s Shrimp Stock

Okushiba Shoten is known for its original shrimp stock soup curry, which attracts long lines of hungry people every day. In fact, this one restaurant serves about 50,000 meals a year. Every morning they prepare the soup stock, using over 2,000 shrimp and several secret spices in the process. A steady stream of die-hard fans declares, “Try it once and you’ll never forget it!” In the open kitchen at the Ekimaesoseiji branch, the chef dramatically grills Hokkaido beef and other local ingredients on a fiery hot grilling plate. There are several Okushiba branch locations that soup curry lovers can visit, each with their own particular theme. The theme of the Jikka branch inside Sapporo station is “making Japan fun.”
