    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Chuou-ku Higashiodori 2-3-152F
    This popular izakaya (Japanese-style bar restaurant) has many fans from outside of Niigata Prefecture, who come for the delicious foods and drinks of Niigata. The restaurant serves mainly Japanese-style dishes, full of the deliciousness of Niigata. The ingredients for these dishes include local seafood bought directly from local fishermen, and Niigata vegetables from contractor farms, which the restaurant’s staff visit personally to buy their goods. The most popular items on the menu are the seasonal locally-caught sashimi, and Tochio City’s specialty, Jumbo fried tofu. The interior of the restaurant was renovated, leaving the old beams and pillars in place, giving it a relaxing, nostalgic atmosphere. The nearest station is Niigata Station.

    Ichiya located in Higashiodori, Chuo Ward, Niigata City is an izakaya (Japanese-style pub). It offers menu items such as sashimi and sushi using fresh seafood sourced from local rivers. All the menu items with a concept of delicious ingredients can be enjoyed at the best prices to the utmost.
