On 18 September I visited Tiger Curry Moyuk Sapporo, on the second basement floor of moyuk SAPPORO in Tanukikoji 3-chome.
Tiger Curry, with its main shop in Kita 24-jo, calls itself the original clay-pot soup curry restaurant and has been selected for Tabelog's Top 100 six times in a row.
The Moyuk Sapporo branch is brand new, having opened on 1 September 2026.
It sits in a corner of the basement food hall, with counter seats wrapped around a pillar and table seating, sharing the floor with the ramen shop STARS.
Paper lanterns hang from the ceiling, and there is a "moyuk" lantern on the sign at the entrance as well.
I arrived at 19:25.
You order by scanning a QR code at your seat with your phone; I placed my order at 19:29.
There are four soups to choose from: Original (no extra charge), Stamina (+150 yen), Shrimp (+150 yen, recommended) and Ura-Tora (+200 yen, the Top 100 soup).
I ordered the Juicy Chicken Curry for 1,480 yen with the Original soup.
The rice came first on its own at 19:35, and the soup curry followed three minutes later at 19:38.
The rice is topped with a sprinkle of parsley.
The curry arrives in a black clay pot and stays hot to the last spoonful.
The soup opens with sweetness, then a touch of acidity, and finally a gentle hint of spice.
It is an easy soup to enjoy.
The chicken is thigh meat rather than a whole leg.
It is simmered until soft, with no sear on the surface.
The other ingredients are pumpkin, broccoli, red bell pepper, burdock and a quail egg, topped with mizuna and red cabbage.
There is also a "Choinomi Moyuk" set for 1,000 yen: one drink plus a choice of spicy Genghis Khan lamb or spicy offal, so the place works for an evening stop as well.
September has arrived, and the nights in Sapporo are getting cooler.
