About NAMARA GOOD

Namara is Hokkaido dialect for "really, seriously". Namara good = seriously good.

I'm Ryoma. I was born and raised in Hokkaido and I live in Sapporo. People keep asking me where to eat and drink, so this is the list I actually send them.

No rankings, no paid spots, no stars. Chains, tourist favourites and tiny independent places all make it if they're good. If a place goes downhill, it comes off the list.

I write everything in English. The Korean, Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese versions are translated by AI and checked as best I can, so the odd phrase may sound a bit off.
