Niigata: Tabelog 100 Best Restaurants: Shun'yo Sakanagoro, Home-Roasted Coffee Tour

I went to Niigata for 3 days and 2 nights, staying at Dormy Inn near Niigata Station for the first night, and Hotel Nikko Niigata on the port side (near Furumachi) for the second night! Dormy Inn is famous for its hot springs, but Niigata also has an open-air sauna, which is the best facility for me as a sauna fan! After the bath, they give out free ice cream and Yakult. They also have ramen at night. But before that... When you think of Niigata, you think of fresh seafood and vegetables, so I wandered around looking for a lot of food. I was drawn to Shungyo Sakanagoro, which has been selected as one of the 100 best restaurants on Tabelog lol The food and sake are delicious, and there are many brands from each region of the prefecture, and with the best snacks and lukewarm sake, I ended up drinking too much... lol On the second day, I worked hard... The Hotel Nikko Niigata where I stayed for the second night has an observation deck on the 31st floor and the view from the room is also amazing. On the third day, we visited coffee shops in Furumachi, Niigata, a town notable for its many in-house roasters. We enjoyed coffee at a specialty coffee shop, a coffee shop where you can smoke a cigarette, and a jellyfish tank while eating seasonal curry. It was a really fun place, and I'd love to go back again. #food #hotsprings #greatviews #Niigata #hotel #gourmettrip #coupletrip #gourmetfood #businesstrip #cafe #cafehopping #coffeeshop #Niigatacoffeeshop #Niigatatourism
