early age, he developed a passion for cooking, spending hours watching his father, a culinary craftsman, in the kitchen.
With his apprenticeship complete and his passion cemented, Chef Sai Toh opened several Izakaya bars in Furano township over a period of 12 years before settling here at Panier in the late 1980’s.
Whilst having a talent for a variety of cooking styles, Sai Toh’s passion is creating signature curry dishes.
Master Chef Sai Toh has been hosting, feeding and entertaining guests from all over the world for over thirty years at Panier. We welcome you the Panier family, to enjoy a true Japanese dining experience.
Panier - The story behind the name

In 1988, long before Hokkaido became a popular tourist destination, the restaurant was a wine bar serving local customers. French wine boxes were delivered to the premises with “Panier” (or “basket” in French) inscribed on the sides. Later, as the bar evolved into a restaurant, the name “Panier” was adopted to encapsulate the “basket” of delicious food that is served to guests every day.
