居酒屋 祭 · Izakaya Matsuri
Hokkaido produce, cold local beers, and a room full of new friends.
Matsuri is an independent izakaya in Moiwa, the quiet end of Niseko that still keeps its old soul. Our staff are long-time Japanese locals who carry the true powder-seeker's heart that was once found right across the area. The kitchen cooks with the best of Hokkaido, and by 7 the room is as busy and bustling as Niseko used to be. We open for the ski season only.

The freshest local ingredients: Shiraoi wagyu, Rusutsu pork and Hokkaido seafood.
Local Japanese staff
Long-time locals who still carry Niseko's old backcountry soul.
