Discover the taste of traditional Horumon BBQ, expertly crafted in a cozy Niigata hideaway, Daitouen—a flavor journey worth every bite.

Restaurant Details

Nestled in the heart of Niigata's back alleys, Daitouen offers an authentic and nostalgic BBQ offal dining experience. Known for its Horumon cuisine, Daitouen captivates guests with the rich flavors of its marinated offal selection, including highlights like liver, tongue, and the crunchy texture of roe, all grilled to perfection. The dishes are expertly complemented by a savory sauce reminiscent of traditional eel sauce, which enhances the sweet and savory notes of each bite.


Located just a five-minute walk from Niigata Station, Daitouen is perfectly placed for both locals and visitors craving a taste of traditional Japanese yakiniku. The restaurant itself boasts a classic Showa-era ambiance, with cozy counter seating and a distinct lack of modern air filtration systems, allowing the aroma of grilling meats to fill the air and add to the genuine atmosphere.


The warm and homely environment is further enhanced by the friendly service of the dedicated staff, including a charming female owner who ensures every customer feels at home. Patrons are encouraged to savor their meals at their own pace, whether dining solo or with friends, making it an ideal spot for a casual night out. The setting caters to informal gatherings, hearty laughter, and shared stories that make each visit memorable.


An experience at Daitouen is rounded off with a choice of local sake options, known for pairing exceptionally well with the richly flavored offal dishes, making every visit a delightful journey into classic Japanese culinary traditions. Regulars enjoy the warm sake that complements the cold Niigata nights, creating an unmatched dining experience revisited fondly by many. If you're keen on indulging in local favorites, Daitouen's tender, expertly grilled offal will offer you exactly the taste of Niigata you haven't known you were missing, but now won't forget.
