I made a reservation and visited during the weekend lunch hours. It takes about 20-25 minutes by express or limited express train from Niigata Station, but since I had plans afterward, I drove there with a friend in a rental car.Founded in 1954, this restaurant has over 70 years of history, and the head chef is the third generation. This location operates on weekends while the chef also manages another restaurant in Niigata City.I had previously tasted the chef's sushi at an event in Tokyo, and I was looking forward to this visit, especially since the staff came from Niigata and used local ingredients.【During the Visit】Michelin Guide Niigata Special Edition 2020 ⭐︎Gault & Millau 2026 3 Toques (15.5 points)Niigata Gastronomy Award 2026 Grand PrixTabelog 2026 SilverTabelog All Genres Niigata Prefecture Ranking 3rd (4.37)Tabelog Sushi Niigata Prefecture Ranking 2nd (4.37)【What I Ordered】■Omakase Course JPY 25,300 (tax and service included)With an additional piece and one drink, the total was JPY 28,050.The restaurant is dedicated to using local ingredients. While the fish from Niigata is excellent, the standout feature is the vegetables. Everything was delicious, but I was particularly impressed by the fluffy sweetfish roe and the hand roll with freshly harvested young corn. The sushi was well-seasoned with sardine fish sauce. The salt and wasabi were also delightful. The tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet) was like a pudding, and I thoroughly enjoyed the local ingredients until the very end. It was a great meal!
