I spent 3 Weeks in Japan and had the distinct pleasure of spending 4 days in Niigata. I had the incredible opportunity to have my new friend and own personal tour guide, so I got to see all kinds of amazing things the city has to offer. But if all you care about is food, here are the regional specialties I got to try:
- Pork & Niigata Rice
- Sake
- Cabbage Rolls
- Ondel
- Sake (the other kind, salted salmon)
- Manju
- Suriyaki
- Sushi
- Popoyaki
- Matcha
- Ramen
- Sasa Dango
I also enjoyed:
- Pastries from Saffron Bakery
- Fresh Picked Fruit from Shihone Gardens
- Coffee from Niigata Coffee Donya
- Cherries Jubilee from Starlight in Hotel Okura
- Hishi Nuts from Matsuhama Market
- Freshly Fried Tofu from Matsuhama Market
