    Niigata Sado-shi Aikawa 2-9
    A well-known kushiyaki grilled bamboo skewer restaurant which serves food so tasty, people are willing to cross an ocean to enjoy it. In this bar-like establishment, lit by indirect lighting, you can eat authentic charcoal fire-grilled kushiyaki skewers. Only counter seating is available and no reservations are accepted whatsoever. Aikawa’s most popular dining establishment, it is always filled with customers despite the fact you won’t know whether you’ll be able to get in that day until you go. In addition to standards such as regular meat cuts, gizzards, and cartilage, many locals come here to enjoy the novel special daily skewers. Also great is the restaurant’s large selection of beers and Sado sakes, as well as wines, which go surprisingly well with kushiyaki.

    A café situated inside a shed which belonged to an old shipowner’s home in Shukunegi, Sado City, Niigata Prefecture. The old-fashioned interior draws the eye with its old furnishings and black beams and pillars. The red tables, made from an old tarai-bune boat used in the area, are sure to make an impression. The café’s lunchtime pasta is made with chewy fresh noodles. The café also offers a popular homemade dessert menu, including cakes and zenzai sweet bean soup with shiratama rice flour dumplings.

    Based on a recommendation by our tour guide, Fujiko-san, we had lunch at this charming restaurant situated next to the Edo Period Fishing Village of Shukunegi. The restaurant was very busy that day...

    This restaurant in Nakahara, Sado Island, Niigata Prefecture is located in a stylish building with gray outer walls.
