    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Chuou-ku Sasaguchi 1-10-1
    This Japanese-style restaurant is located near the JR Niigata Station. Its purely Japanese appearance, like a sake brewery, is attractive to customers. The relaxing interior, from which the garden can be seen, is an elegant space that can be used for both course meals and for entertaining guests. The Sado Koshihikari rice, cooked in copper pots and traditional cooking stoves, is highly reputed, and there are an abundance of dishes that use Niigata’s specialty products, such as blackthroat perch, Sado sushi and A4 and A5 rank Murakami beef. The alcohol-tasting six drinks of Echigo menu, which allows customers to compare the taste of six different sake, is also very popular.

    Got very good rating in TripAdvisor and near Niigata Train Station, specialized in seafoods with many dishes to choose from. We ordered sashimi, some beef and varieties of seafoods, no outstanding...

    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Chuou-ku Furumachidori Kyubanchou 1457
    This Japanese restaurant is located in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture and is said to be the birthplace of “Wappameshi” rice, one of Niigata’s signature dishes. The restaurant founder conceived of the dish with Kitaoji Rosanjin. It involves bending a thin piece of cedar to create a “wappa” container, into which is placed rice boiled in soup stock, seasonal seafood, and other ingredients. The “sake oyako” dish, made with Murakami-produced salmon and salmon roe, is quite popular. There’s also “noppe (soup with fried tofu and other ingredients),” tender Namban shrimp, oysters, and other types of Niigata cuisine, not to mention a great lineup of local brews.

    Nigata Pref. Nigatashi Chuou-ku Minamisasaguchi 2-1-122F
    This hideaway-style Japanese restaurant and bar, which boasts a Kappo cuisine menu, using local chicken and fish, is located in Chuo Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture. Its specialty is fried young chicken, the tender meat of which is cut into half-length or thick slices and then well-fried. The crispy texture and juicy meat are irresistible. The head chef personally selects the fresh fish for sashimi to be used in the restaurant. These, and the yakitori skewers, each prepared by hand, are customer favorites. The drinks menu is also well stocked, with over 40 kinds of Ume-shu (plum wine) and sake brewed in Niigata, including Swan Lake Amber Swan Ale, which won the highest gold prize in the world.

    毎日料理長自ら仕入れに行き、鮮度の良いものだけ出すというこだわりの「お刺身盛り合わせ」が大変美味しかったです。

    団体で使いました。 店内は綺麗です。 3980円のコースで、喉黒の天ぷらなど、料理は美味しかったです。 2時間飲み放題付きでしたが、多少時間はおまけしていただいたと思います。 店員さんの対応も良かったと思います。 駅前にあるので、帰宅も便利です。 クレジットカード利用可ですが、5%増しでした。
