Araragi

Araragi first opened in front of Niigata Station in 1988. Now, the second generation has opened a restaurant in Niigata Furumachi and Higashihori Street and was awarded one Michelin star by the MICHELIN GUIDE NIIGATA 2021. The chef exerts the concept that "hot food should be served hot and cold food should be served cold." When cooking, there is always a moment when food is at its peak deliciousness. Classic Japanese dishes such as fried food, rice, miso soup, and pickles are served. The fried shrimp dishes are hot, fluffy, and delicious. An example of a rice dish they serve is ginger rice with corn, but this depends on the season. Their fresh abalone dish is also recommended, made with abalone from Yamakita in Niigata Prefecture, steamed for five hours with sake and kombu (kelp) and dressed with salted sea urchin. If you are looking for a Michelin-starred restaurant in Niigata, why not enjoy the Japanese traditional dishes at Araragi?
