Yokocho Hei

Located in front of Shin-etsu Station, Yokocho Hei is a small izakaya with a charming, homey atmosphere.

The food is also delicious, especially the freshly harvested edamame and the rich, fatty mackerel, which showcase the seasonal ingredients of Niigata. It's a local hidden gem where you can relax and indulge in fine sake and gourmet cuisine.
