Last time I was in Niigata for work, I couldn't make a reservation, so this was my chance for a comeback. I made a reservation through OMANASE, and there were still available slots if you’re flexible with dates.First of all, the restaurant's exterior is stylish. The hospitality from the head chef and staff is outstanding. They focus on local Niigata ingredients, and it seems everything except for the sea urchin is sourced from Niigata. You can’t help but feel their pride as professionals.With only 8 seats at the counter, the head chef prepares all the sushi himself, which is a great touch.They maintain a high quality with all the Niigata ingredients. While I can't pinpoint a specific dish that was truly moving, everything was of a high standard. I was impressed by how they consistently elevate local ingredients to such a level.What personally moved me was the sake called HONMA EAITION, crafted exclusively for the head chef, Ryuji Homma, by the brewmaster of Kamo Nishiki. It was incredibly delicious. Since it’s not available for purchase, the only way to enjoy it is to visit Kyodai Zushi.The price range isn’t cheap, but I felt it was worth it, especially considering the quality, which exceeds expectations compared to the overly expensive options in Tokyo.I came to Kyodai Zushi for work, but it was definitely worth it. I absolutely want to return; it’s a high-level restaurant that excels in hospitality.
