This station in Niigata is extraordinary~ A big recommendation for Niigata's local specialties

Echigo Yuzawa Station is a stop on the Joetsu Shinkansen from Tokyo to Niigata, and is a transit station to many ski resorts in the surrounding area. 🚉On the second floor of the station, there are many gourmet restaurants and local specialty shops. In addition to the 'Japanese Sake Museum' I recommended in my last post, there is also a sake hot spring bath and Ponshukan, a local specialty shop that gathers a lot of Niigata's local specialty products. 🎁There are a lot of Niigata's souvenirs and local specialties in the shop. If you are transferring here, you must come and visit. It takes a few hours to stroll around. Today, Junjun will introduce to you what kind of souvenirs and local specialties from Niigata are worth taking home! 【Shang Shan Ru Shui➕Sake Cocktail】: If you come to Niigata, you can't miss Shang Shan Ru Shui, a classic product of the famous local Hakutaka Sake Brewery. The rice milling ratio of the pure rice Daiginjo has reached 45%. The rice milling ratio is the proportion of the rice core left after the rice is milled. The lower the number, the more precious it is~ So every sip is rich and fragrant~ It's decent to give as a gift, and it's also suitable for keeping for yourself! In addition, there is a DIY small jar for making fruit-flavored cocktails. Various fruit flavors that women like, strawberries, pears, apples, citrus, not only delicious but also very high in appearance! Go back and pour a little sake, add a little water, and a sake cocktail is ready~ 【Niigata Rice】: In the store, you can see a lot of Niigata's various brand rice, and the packaging is also very cute. A lot of new rice has been sold out~ Here you can pick any Niigata rice at will. Because it's really too delicious! The unique soil and climate make Niigata's rice have a unique taste, it's chewy yet glutinous. Highly recommend to take back to the country for the family to taste! 【Popular No.2 Rice Egg Tart➕Ice Cream】: This has bulk and boxed souvenirs. It's also very suitable for giving away~ The egg tart is made of rice. It's the No.2 popular! Junjun bought it for someone else and hasn't had the heart to taste it~ Next time I must go and pick it again! Ice cream must be tasted. Because they are all Niigata's special rice ice cream, the taste is really unique~~~ You can't eat it after you leave here ^_^ 【Seaweed Buckwheat Noodles】: There are many varieties of buckwheat noodles here~~~~ I also heard that the seaweed buckwheat noodles produced in Niigata are a special feature that must be tasted~ You can choose the thickness according to your preference. It's also very meaningful to take back to the country and give it to someone~ The price is also quite favorable ^_^ Of course, in addition to the local specialty shops, you can also taste the coffee shop with sake lees added here. There are also very beautiful internet celebrity installations of handicraft shops, gourmet snack shops, etc... Don't miss it here when you come to Niigata next time, it's no problem to stay for a few hours.
