A restaurant recommended by a regular customer at work. Amid the difficulty of securing reservations at popular Italian and French restaurants in the Omotesando area due to the calming of the coronavirus situation, this restaurant, known for its Japanese cuisine, was able to accommodate. I was unsure of what to order at this restaurant, which focuses on course meals using Niigata ingredients, so I chose the second highest option, the "Koikai course" (featuring Niigata Wagyu grilled steak). The course included two appetizers, sashimi, grilled dish, Niigata steak, clay pot rice, miso soup, pickles, and dessert, all made with seasonal Niigata ingredients. As expected from a high-end restaurant in Omotesando, each dish was delicious and made good use of Niigata's seasonal ingredients. While I haven't been particularly impressed by the subtle flavors of kaiseki cuisine at other restaurants, the seasoning at this restaurant had a unique character and left a strong sense of satisfaction. Being a Niigata restaurant, the clay pot rice was exceptionally tasty, and the pickles complemented the rice well. I have no complaints about the food, and would consider coming back if the occasion arises, but the cost can add up significantly, especially if you also have alcohol, so it may not be a place for casual visits. Highly recommended for business entertainment.

I was introduced to this restaurant by an acquaintance, and I found the atmosphere a bit intimidating due to the older clientele. However, the head chef and staff were very friendly, and I was impressed even before the meal. The delicate seasoning on all the ingredients left me feeling satisfied both physically and emotionally. I will definitely be returning soon, this time with friends!

Next to the antenna shop in Niigata Prefecture, there is a Japanese restaurant that focuses on using Niigata ingredients. For lunch, there were several options starting at around 2500 yen. I tried the set meal with tempura as the main dish, which was served in a family restaurant style with everything on one tray. I had high expectations due to the price, but I was a bit disappointed. The tempura was freshly fried and the batter was to my liking, but the portion was small. In addition to the tempura, it came with simmered dish, miso soup, sashimi, and pickles, costing over 3000 yen. It would have been better if it came with steamed dish and dessert. The tea was refilled a few times, and coffee was also included, but I wished there was some sweetness to go with it. The interior of the restaurant was nice, with private rooms that added a touch of luxury.

Niigata is delicious no matter what you eat (｀･ω･´) I firmly believe that you have to eat in Niigata to truly appreciate it. However, I do love Niigata food, so I sometimes stop by this antenna shop. Located right next to Omotesando Hills, it's quite busy on weekends with lots of people! Onigiri and sake tasting sets seem to be popular, typical of Niigata. I've always been curious about the hidden Japanese restaurant "Shizukaan" at the back of the antenna shop. It's tucked away in a quiet corner, with a serene atmosphere. The menu looks tempting with dishes like grilled salmon and nodoguro. Today, I decided to try the "Yukitsubaki" bento box, which includes sashimi, tempura, grilled salmon, and more. The bento box is beautifully presented, and each dish looks delicious. The rice is shiny and the sashimi is fresh and flavorful. The tempura is crispy and the grilled salmon is tasty. The miso soup and pickles are also excellent. Overall, a satisfying meal.

I had tempura soba and added a salmon onigiri. It was delicious! The tempura and soba were both very tasty and the portion size was just right. And the onigiri! Truly Niigata! The saltiness of the salmon was a perfect match. I want to try all the menu items!

I had the grilled salmon set meal. It was a set where you can enjoy sashimi and grilled fish. It was so delicious~ The rice was very tasty, and I had one serving of sashimi and one serving of grilled salmon. I ended up asking for seconds.

Today's rice dish is the Komeyama Princess Lunch with Etigo beer and a variety of dishes from Niigata prefecture. Perfect for a lunch meeting in a private room. Highly recommended.

The Wagyu miso stew and assorted tempura were delicious.

"Adjacent to the antenna shop 'Niigata-kan Nesspass,' this restaurant offers freshly polished Niigata-grown Koshihikari rice served with Niigata fish, meat, and vegetables. Perfect for various occasions such as lunch meetings and family gatherings."

Niigata-produced Koshihikari new rice, fish, meat, and vegetables are all fresh. Located next to Omotesando Hills, the location and atmosphere are quite nice. The Niigata antenna shop "Niigata-kan Nespas" is also adjacent.

I visited the food court at the local products store Shokuraku-en in Niigata. I had high expectations for trying some traditional local dishes, but ended up getting a set meal of soba noodles, tempura, and onigiri. It was delicious, but I was hoping for more of Niigata's specialty dishes.

It's been a while since my last visit, but I still think the soba is the best.

The atmosphere outside is like Omotesando but not quite Omotesando, with high expectations for a different vibe.

The freshly cooked rice served in a clay pot was delicious. The course meal was satisfying, and the nodoguro fish was fatty with a crispy skin, very tasty.

It was delicious! However, the 5000 yen for the lunch of nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) is expensive!!! Not good value for money.
