    4月に長岡から十日町へ抜ける途中、立ち寄りました。 吊り橋が見えましたが、雪が残っていて、渡ることができませんでした。 食堂でおにぎり定食とカレーライスを注文しました。 カレーはレトルトの様な味でした。 売店で豆大福が売ってましたが、ヤマザキパン製のようで、地元の特産では無い様です。

Our recommended souvenirs are the terminal's Okutadami no Tsukudani (a simmered seafood preserve) and its original Ao Nanban Misokko Kyuri pickled cucumbers.

    長いシルバーラインのトンネルを出ると突然広がる秘境のダム。そこにある食事とお土産のお店です。ダムカレー850円は話の種に。地元の田舎料理のワッパ飯の山菜ごはんが美味しいです。チャーハンのように炒めたごはんと山菜の佃煮、けんちん汁で1200円です。岩魚の塩焼きも美味でした。ダムを見ながら食事ができます。
