[Saturdays & Holidays Only] For a sophisticated date to brighten your evening in Ginza. A Nodoguro Tasting Course, featuring a toast with sparkling sake We’ll guide you to a tranquil semi-private room where you can relax and enjoy intimate conversation. The menu features a luxurious course centered around “nodoguro,” a premium fish prized for its rich, high-quality fat. Highlights include “Salt-Grilled Nodoguro” and “Nodoguro Rice Cooked in a Clay Pot.” These dishes will help your conversation flow even more smoothly on this special evening for the two of you. We hope you’ll enjoy a truly memorable experience.
"Clay Pot White Rice" is one of our signature dishes. Each grain of rice stands tall, shining with a pure white luster. The moderate stickiness and chewy texture, along with the sweetness and aroma packed into the white rice, make even the rising steam a delicacy. Please savor it with all your senses. Sourced from Sanada Farm, a contract farmer in the Myoko Yashiro area of Niigata. This premium rice is cultivated with great care in the heavy snowfall region of Niigata, specifically in the Myoko City Yashiro River basin. The melting snow from the Yashiro River and the temperature differences between day and night enhance the rice's sugar content, creating a deep aroma and stickiness.
We are particular about the water used for cooking. We use medium-hard Sado deep sea water to cook in a clay pot! Each grain of rice stands out, shining with a pure white luster. The moderately sticky and chewy texture, along with the sweetness and aroma packed into the white rice, makes even the rising steam a delicacy.
We carefully select the highest quality Nodoguro, which is grilled with salt, simmered, or served as our signature clay pot rice, sourcing the richest and most flavorful Nodoguro from various regions at its peak season. You can enjoy the exquisite taste through various cooking methods, such as the 'grilled with salt' that locks in umami with perfect heat control, the 'simmered' that allows flavors to deeply penetrate, and the 'Nodoguro clay pot rice' that releases a rich aroma the moment the lid is opened. This is a standout dish that enhances occasions like business meetings and celebrations. *Sashimi may not be available depending on the supply.
Pirikko, a fermented seasoning from Joetsu, is based on chili peppers and has a sharp spiciness that becomes addictive after one taste. It is not just spicy; the yuzu flavor adds a nice accent. We serve this condiment, born in Joetsu, Niigata, alongside our proud Joetsu dishes. *Every year, our staff creates it in Joetsu!
The traditional bonito broth passed down at a long-established ryotei in Niigata that has been in operation for over 120 years. The fragrant and rich broth is the foundation of Japanese cuisine. Please enjoy the amber color and the rich umami and depth of flavor.
For the comfort of our overseas guests, we offer menus in English, Chinese (Simplified), and Korean. At our restaurant, we want our guests from abroad to fully enjoy Japanese food culture and the culinary delights of Niigata and Joetsu.

Additionally, we can accommodate requests for a change to 'Simmered' preparation.

Enjoy a blissful moment with the finest Niigata Koshihikari rice, cooked with deep seawater from Sado.
[Niigata Joetsu's Soul Food] A traditional taste that pairs well with alcohol, 'Salted Dried Squid Tempura' is a proud dish crafted with skill, representing the local flavor of 'Suruten' that has been cherished in homes and drinking places in the Joetsu region of Niigata Prefecture for a long time. The main ingredient is 'one-night dried salted squid (ika)' that is rich in umami. The slightly thicker batter is crispy and fragrant, while the squid inside releases a pleasant saltiness and the rich sweetness inherent to the squid with each bite. Due to the exquisite salt balance, it is best enjoyed as is, without any dipping sauce, in the Yasuda style. It pairs perfectly with beer and invites you to try the refreshing local sake (nihonshu) from Niigata, making it the ultimate accompaniment for drinks.

【A New Treasure of Niigata】The miraculous taste nurtured by the whiskey distillery, 'Niigata Whiskey Eel Grilled White (Whole)' is a proud dish that features the 'Niigata Whiskey Eel', which is gaining high attention as a new brand ingredient from Niigata, luxuriously grilled whole. The eel, raised on a diet of 'malt residue' produced during the whiskey manufacturing process at the Niigata Kameda Distillery, utilizes warm water from distillation, resulting in an eel that remarkably lacks peculiarities or odors, characterized by its elegant and rich fat. This exquisite eel is carefully finished by artisans through the processes of 'grilling, steaming, and grilling'. The flesh, which retains umami while shedding excess fat, is crispy and fragrant on the outside, and surprisingly tender and melting on the inside. Because it is grilled white without sauce, the eel's inherent clear sweetness and richness stand out. Enjoy the perfect pairing with carefully selected salt, wasabi, and Sichuan pepper, along with Niigata's refined dry sake or highball.

Fermier / Sunset Niigata Cabernet Merlot (Red) A medium body that overturns the usual strong image of Cabernet, delicate and harmonizing with Japanese dining. The refreshing herbal aroma typical of Cabernet and the juiciness of blueberries gently blend with the sweet vanilla-like scent derived from French oak barrels.

Non-alcoholic wine made from high-quality red and white grapes, achieved through a unique low-temperature, low-pressure distillation process that preserves the original flavor without removing the alcohol. To ensure that the rich aroma and taste developed during fermentation are not lost, the alcohol is removed through careful distillation under low-temperature and low-pressure conditions. This is the first key point: it has the aroma and richness typical of alcoholic beverages while being non-alcoholic. The second key point of its deliciousness lies in the unique blending know-how of a long-established Belgian cider manufacturer founded in 1895. Although some aromas and components are inevitably lost during distillation, the manufacturer uses flavoring and acidity blending techniques honed over years of cider-making experience to recreate the balance of flavors found in freshly made wine and cider. Thanks to these two commitments, a non-alcoholic beverage is created that rivals the richness and deliciousness of regular alcoholic wine! This is a long-awaited non-alcoholic still white wine made from the classic white grape variety Chardonnay, known for its citrus aroma and complexity. It pairs well with white meats and fish dishes.
