The local fish sashimi was fantastic. Super fresh, great texture. Went down nicely with some sake.

Cozy spot, gets packed fast. We snagged one of their few parking spots, lucky us. The grilled octopus was tender, nicely charred. Could&#39;ve used a bit more seasoning though.

The rice served was especially noteworthy, with my wife remarking on its exceptional quality, characteristic of Niigata&#39;s renowned rice.

The sashimi was the highlight. The fish was incredibly fresh, with a clean, sweet taste. I tried the local sake alongside it, which paired nicely. A solid choice for the quality of the seafood alone.

Been coming here for years, always after the train. The happy hour drinks are still a solid deal. Just a reliable spot to unwind.

Been coming here for years. Always plenty of space, never feels cramped even when it&#39;s busy. Good for bringing the kids, they can move around a bit. Just a solid, comfortable spot for a meal.

The minced squid cutlet is the thing to get. The outside is super crispy, and the inside is soft and savory. It&#39;s a local specialty, and the texture is really unique.

Had a nice dinner here. The English-speaking waitress was very helpful with the menu, which was appreciated. The food was pretty good, felt authentic. Staff were decent even though the place was quite busy.

The Halloween-themed lunch buffet was a fun experience, with delicious dishes and a pleasant atmosphere, although one staff member could have been friendlier.

Service was pretty good, they made a vegan dish for me. Staff explained the menu in English, which was helpful.

Came here for a casual dinner with friends. The evening set menu is the same price as lunch, which is pretty nice. We just wanted to chat and eat, no drinks, and it was perfect for that. The vibe is relaxed, not rushed at all.

The hairy crab mountain is the thing to get. The meat is sweet and rich, just like it should be. It&#39;s a lot of crab, good for sharing with a beer or two. That&#39;s pretty much all I came for.

Right by Niigata Station, so easy to find. Got takeout to eat back at the hotel. The katsu was still crispy, which was a nice surprise. Made for a pretty chill evening.

Been coming for years. Always get a seat at the counter to watch the chefs&mdash;their focus on detail is what keeps me coming back.

The all-you-can-drink was a great deal. I tried a highball and it was surprisingly strong, which I liked. The price for everything felt fair.

Been coming here for years. Lunch pasta set is the move. Salad, bread, pasta, drink, and a little dessert. Carbonara is the best part. Always solid.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in a back alley, offering a cozy atmosphere and delicious food. The pasta dishes are particularly noteworthy, with a wide variety to choose from.

I visited for lunch and was pleased with the weekday set menu. The vegetable curry with a cutlet topping was delicious, and the coffee was a perfect complement. The restaurant&#39;s ambiance is also very inviting.
