Famous for “hegi soba”, a Niigata specialty, Suzakaya offers a variety of local dishes and sake.
This popular “hegi soba” noodle shop is just a 4 minutes’ walk from Niigata Station.
Niigata’s special hegi soba noodles are served cold on a square wooden plate called a “hegi”, arranged into bite-size bundles. They are made with a type of seaweed used to bind the buckwheat, preventing breakage and dryness and making them more pleasant to eat than regular soba noodles. It is certainly one of the most recommended local dishes to try in Niigata.
Besides hegi soba, customers at Suzakaya Soba can try a variety of other dishes such as “noppe” (a stew packed with local vegetables with a velvety texture from “satoimo” taro), fresh seafood, Niigata rice dishes, and of course, sake made in Niigata.
Their special “evening drink set” comes with sake, noppe stew, sashimi, and soba, all for only 2,200 yen. This is perfect for those who want to try all the tasty flavors of Niigata at once.
The restaurant is situated near Niigata Station, just a 4-minute walk away. It has a large seating capacity and different seating styles. The bright atmosphere of this place welcomes everyone, from locals to tourists.

幾年前去新潟縣遊玩時，在車站附近的“須坂屋”吃午飯。經朋友推薦吃了一種頗有特色的蕎麥麵，看到這篇文章後才知道當時吃的就是這個有名的新潟家鄉飯“片木蕎麥麵”。那種勁道的口感至今還記憶猶新。等疫情結束後一定要重返故地，再一次細細品嚐。
