From Asahikawa, Hokkaido! Genghis Khan restaurant specializing in fresh lamb over charcoal.

Established in 2002 in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, "Asahikawa Jingisukan Daikokuya" is a highly praised specialty restaurant where you can savor authentic Genghis Khan (Jingisukan: a Japanese-style lamb barbecue inspired by Mongolian cuisine). The restaurant serves fresh lamb that is never frozen, ensuring its tender and juicy texture. Grilled on a traditional Jingisukan pan (Jingisukan pan: a dome-shaped skillet that enhances the meat's flavor by letting the fat flow into the vegetables), the lamb’s natural richness and sweetness pair perfectly with fresh vegetables. Conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Shinjuku Station’s East Exit, the restaurant also features a stylish interior inspired by Ainu cultural designs and offers stunning views of Shinjuku’s vibrant cityscape, allowing guests to enjoy an authentic taste of Hokkaido in Tokyo.

"The Daikoku Set" (¥2,860 incl. tax) is a luxurious platter that lets you enjoy four different cuts of lamb: shoulder loin, thigh, shoulder, and fillet. Each cut offers a unique flavor and texture, allowing you to fully explore the rich variety of lamb meat. Pair your meal with the restaurant’s signature sauces and condiments to create a truly memorable taste experience. Another standout dish is "The Thick-Cut Lamb Chop" (¥1,650 incl. tax), seasoned with the restaurant’s special blend of spices for a deeply flavorful and juicy bite. For a lighter option, try "The Trio of Lamb Sausages" (¥825 incl. tax), which includes cheese, smoked, and chorizo varieties. Each sausage showcases the juicy richness of lamb in a unique way, making it an exciting addition to your meal. Whether you’re a lamb lover or trying it for the first time, these dishes are sure to impress.

For a refreshing side dish, the ""Hokkaido Ramen Salad"" (¥825 incl. tax) combines fresh vegetables and chilled ramen noodles, tossed in a flavorful house-made dressing.
It’s a perfect complement to the rich flavors of Genghis Khan barbecue. Save room for dessert with the ""Creamy Lamb Pudding"" (¥495 incl. tax), an exclusive creation made with rare milk sourced from Matsuyama Farm in Bifuka Town, Niupu District, Hokkaido. This milk is so special that only one liter can be collected from a single sheep per day. The pudding’s silky texture and rich flavor make it a standout finish to any meal.

Pair your dishes with drinks like ""Guarana"" (a popular soda unique to Hokkaido), ""Yubari Melon Soda"", or Asahikawa’s locally brewed Craft Lager. The restaurant also offers a curated selection of sake, shochu, and wine, ensuring there’s a perfect drink to match every dish.

The interior of "Asahikawa Jingisukan Daikokuya Shinjuku East Exit" blends modern design with traditional Ainu-inspired patterns (the Ainu are the indigenous people of Hokkaido), creating a unique and inviting atmosphere. Guests can enjoy a stunning view of Shinjuku’s vibrant night skyline from window-side tables. The restaurant offers a range of seating options, including counter seating for solo diners, intimate window-side tables for couples, and larger tables for group gatherings, making it suitable for any occasion. Each table is equipped with advanced smoke ducts to ensure a clean and comfortable environment, even during charcoal grilling. Despite its prime location just minutes from Shinjuku Station, the restaurant offers a serene escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, inviting you to indulge in authentic Hokkaido cuisine.
