    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Chuou-ku Bandaijima In 2-4 peers bandai
    This popular kaiten-zushi restaurant sources all of its fish and rice from Sado. It is located in Pier Bandai, in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. The restaurant expertly selects fish freshly caught in the morning off the coast of Sado, and uses them that very same day. The many different types of sushi prepared by the chefs in front of their customers are a harmony of fresh fish and plump, glossy rice. For customers interested in the individual dishes, the salt-grilled blackthroat perch and assorted sashimi set are popular. There are both table seating and counter seats available, and the restaurant is very convenient for families and group.

    This is my favourite sushi restaurant in Niigata. Though you ave to wait in line for a while( sometimes an hour), it’s worth waiting. You have 3 options of seating. Sushi counter when you are alone...

    Niigata Niigata-shi Nishi-ku Makio 22-1
    This conveyor belt sushi chain which refuses to be “just” a conveyor belt sushi restaurant takes great pride in the freshness of its sushi. Seeking to deliver to its customers the freshest seafood possible, the chain is headquartered in the Niigata Central Wholesale Market. Here in the Uchino branch, you can enjoy seafood purchased that very day at the auctions held at 5 a. m. in front of the chain’s headquarters. The restaurant’s spectacular tuna butchering shows, held every Saturday evening, entrance children and adults alike. Also great is that you can eat kamatoro, fatty tuna from around the collar bone which can only be gathered in very small amounts from any one fish, at reasonable prices.

    回転すしではありますが、非常にクオリティが高いお寿司を提供するお店です。毎週土曜日夕方六時半頃よりマグロの解体ショーをやっています。

    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Chuou-ku Honchoudori 4-273
    A long-standing sushi restaurant situated along Honcho-dori Avenue in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. The shop was opened in the early Showa period by the first owner, who sought to bring Tokyo-style raw sushi to Niigata. Today, Sushi Yasu continues to preserve the traditional tastes and techniques of that time. The restaurant uses only fresh, natural ingredients in its sushi, including seasonal local fish. Popular menu items including the “kiwami,” a set of 10 pieces of sushi, dashi-maki-tamago rolled omelet, and bowl of soup, the lunch chirashi-zushi; and the homemade castella Tamago-yaki omelet—only a small number of which are offered each day. The restaurant only has eight counter seats and “koagari” raised tatami mat dining area with a single table. Sushi Yasu is popular not only with locals but also tourists from within the prefecture and beyond.

    All the fish used here are not from hatchery but completely natural and well selected. You would be surprised at the largeness of wasabi produced in Shizuoka Pref. The restaurant started its business...

    This sushi restaurant is located in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. It uses freshly caught seafood from Niigata and off the coast of Sado in its sushi and local cuisine.

The restaurant’s special “Kiwami” sushi is a set meal of fatty tuna, sea urchin, salmon roe and delicious soup, centered around locally caught blackthroat seaperch. The assorted sashimi, with its abundance of freshly caught “bounty of the sea,” is also very popular.

    新潟駅より徒歩15分。昼時に予約し入店、「新潟すし極みにぎり」を注文。 朱の品のある盆に旬のネタが10貫が並び見とれてしまいました。 お気に入りは、大きめののどぐろ、軽く炙られ旨味が際立ち絶品。甘味が濃いズワイ。南蛮海老の旨味が口に広がります。雲丹の旨味たまりません。 次回は夜にじっくりおじゃまさせていただきます。ごちそうさまです。

    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Higashi-ku Shichiku 5-1-1
    This is a sushi restaurant founded in 1953, located in Nishi Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. The owner, who trained firstly in a rice shop on his path to become a sushi chef, is of course more concerned with the rice base than most others. The rice base made from Niigata Prefecture grown Koshihikari rice and white granular sugar mixed with vinegar, brings out the taste of Niigata fresh local fish and creates an exquisite harmony of taste. The “kiwami lunch” of hand-formed, locally fished sea urchins is popular.

    お昼に伺いました。 にぎりはもちろん 定食もありましたが、 お店の名が付いた こがねちらしを頂きました。 ランチメニューは 夜にくらべ、かなりお得にいただけます。 おすすめです! 結構こんでましたので 予約をおすすめします。
