- Restaurant Introduction -
Founded in 1846, this historic ryotei (traditional Japanese restaurant) in Niigata has preserved its late Edo-period style through 170 years of heritage. The name originates from the first owner, Tasaburo Takahashi, who began serving soft-shell turtle dishes, and the restaurant has long been a favorite among writers and artists, alongside the Furumachi geisha district. The three-story wooden structure was designated as a 'Registered Tangible Cultural Property' by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2000, and its serene atmosphere continues to reflect the passage of time.
The restaurant is situated within a sprawling 1,000-tsubo garden, where the trees offer different natural scenery with the changing seasons. In the quiet and elegant rooms, you can enjoy kaiseki cuisine meticulously crafted by a master chef who trained in Kyoto, savoring the essence of seasonal Japanese cooking. The menu features fresh seafood from the Sea of Japan, delicate Murakami beef, Uonuma Koshihikari rice, and local sake, providing a gourmet feast unique to Niigata.
In addition, guests can enjoy geisha performances and experience traditional zashiki games, immersing themselves in Niigata's deep cultural roots. Located just a 5-minute walk from the Honcho bus stop, it is the ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy a refined, elegant time.
