Senbazuru (NASPA New Otani)

With a focus on ingredients from the surrounding Niigata region, this high-end kaiseki restaurant offers meals which could only exist in this part of the world. As one of the agricultural hubs of the country, and with bountiful lakes and forests, this region has premium ingredients in abundance. At Senbazuru, these are used to craft premium course menus, featuring dishes like grilled A5-grade Niigata wagyu beef, arguably the best salmon in the country, and mouth watering claypot rice dishes featuring wild vegetables and mushrooms. Niigata is famous for its rice, and boasts beautifully pure spring waters which are perfect for turning this into high-quality sake. Guests will find a fantastic selection of bottles from the local breweries on offer at Senbazuru — perfect for pairing with its refined dishes. Tables and private rooms are also available.
