Inviting Local Bar in Sapporo Is A Great Place For Drinks And Snacks

After a long day of exploring Sapporo, I was in the need of a nice cold beer and some food. There are of course a ton of bars in Sapporo so narrowing it down can be a daunting task. Not wanting to venture out too far, I was able to whittle down the choices and find Micci’s. Micci’s had great reviews and was located just a few minutes from where I was staying.

Micci’s Bar

The first thing you notice when you first enter Micci’s is the decor. This is a unique bar in Sapporo. It’s walls are covered with posters, stickers, toys, plushies, photos, and assorted other trinkets. There’s a whole section behind the bar housing many many CDs which are played within the bar. The night I was there they were playing the Rolling Stones. It feels like a bar from the early 2000s. Just a really cool and fun environment.

The bar is quite small. There’s counter seating and then another section with a booth and a table with some addtional seating. The quaintness of the bar adds to the coziness appeal. The staff also adds to the warm environment as they are very kind, chatty, and speak English as well!

This may be a bar but Micci’s also offers a fairly diverse menu filled with snacks, small dishes, and finger foods which go great with a nice cold beer. The bar food is all very reasonably priced as well so you could certainly eat to your heart’s content here without breaking the bank.

There’s only two people working at Micci’s and Micci does all the cooking. There’s no separate kitchen area. The fryer and all cooking takes place right behind the bar

The Food

I opted for Micci’s Original Spicy Chicken (800 yen, $5.07) and the Japanese potato cakes (400 yen, $2.54). The Spicy Chicken had nice crispy skin and the meat was juicy and tender. There was finely shredded lettuce and green onion that accompanied the chicken as well. I wasn’t quite sure what the sauce consisted of. It was a little buttery a little sweet, and a little spicy. Very subtle flavors but very tasty.

The Japanese potato cakes came out piping hot. Nice and cripsy on the outside the inside was semi-firm, semi-gooey on the inside. It reminded me of potato mochi to a certain extent. It was really tasty as well.

Micci also gave me free octopus nuggets(essentially calimari), which was delicious and very kind of him!

Micci’s Is Worth A Visit

If you’re in Sapporo and looking for a chill evening with some cocktails and some good bar food, Micci’s is certainly worth a visit. It’s a unique bar in Sapporo. From it’s charming decorations to friendly staff to delicious bar food, Micci’s is just a really cool bar in Sapporo to hangout at to enjoy a night. I definitely recommend checking it out!
