From April, Botan (Japanese food) in Far East Square. Which besides having lots of dishes I haven't seen elsewhere on this island (selected ones are typed out), also has whale!
Interior
Relatively common dinner sets
"Chinmi: Japanese Local Delicacies... Ishikari Zuke: Marinated salmon with rice wine & onions"

13 types of Home made tofu: "Yamaimo Kake Tofu: Fresh beancurd topped with grated yam"
5 more types of home made tofu and Ippinryori (a la carte):

Sashimi.
"Takiawase: Pot cooked dish... Tai Aradaki. Red snapper head cooked with special sauce"
"Yakimono. Grilled dish... Fugumirin Boshi. Grilled marinated dry puffer fish."
"Agemono. Deep-fried dish... Nasu hasamiage. Deep fried eggplant sandwiches"

"Nabemono. Hot pot dish... Chazuke. Japanese porridges... Sake Chazuke. Salmon flake with rice & tea served in a bowl"
"Noodles... Inani wa udon. Akita City noodles"
I know why the whale is only in Japanese, but I don't know why they do the same for dessert.
"Yakitori... A la carte."
Sushi
Maki Sushi
Temaki. Hand roll.
Botan Bento
Nagasaki Sara Udon. Basically this was Japanese shen mian, and very good.
Whale Bacon. It was quite tasteless so I won't repeat it (I still haven't tried the sashimi and skin yet, though). Only near the end did I realise what the white stuff was!
