Tokiwa Sushi (Niigata Store)

(Translated by Google) I visited Mr. Tokiwa, a famous Michelin-starred restaurant in Shibata, as he had just opened a branch in Niigata. The interior of the store is a chic and calm space with indirect lighting. It has a more stylish and luxurious feel. The atmosphere of the shop is bright and lively, just like Shibata. The owner, Mr. Kobayashi, gets things going with his lighthearted talk and masterful handling. We enjoyed delicious sushi while having fun chatting with customers we didn't know. (Original) ミシュランで星を獲得している新発田の名店、登喜和さんが新潟店をオープンされたので訪問しました。店内は間接照明を使ったシックで落ち着いた空間。よりオシャレで高級感があります。お店の雰囲気は新発田と同じく明るくて賑やかです。店主の小林さんが軽快なトークと見事な手捌きで回していきます。知らないお客さんとも楽しくお話しをしながら美味しいお寿司を堪能しました。

Legendary shop from Shibata city has a new location in Furumachi that is open a few days a week with the same chef. The decor is very stylish and modern. The sushi is creative and uses Niigata produce exclusively. It is truly excellent. One of my favorite sushi meals in recent memory.

(Translated by Google) Sushi Tokiwa, a famous restaurant in Shibata, has opened a new store in Niigata! The owner has a cheerful personality and is attentive to all the customers, and the staff and everyone else is wonderful and makes for an enjoyable meal. Using ingredients from Niigata, the food is carefully prepared and surprises you every time you go, leaving you feeling truly delicious and happy until the end. Sake is also rare in Niigata, and it's great to be able to drink great sake from places other than Niigata! ! (Original) 新発田の名店、鮨登喜和さんが新潟に新店をオープンしてくれました！ 大将は明るい人柄で、お客さん全員に気を配り、スタッフの方々も皆さんも素晴らしく、楽しい食事が出来ます。 新潟の食材を使い、丁寧で行く度に驚きがあり、最後まで本当に美味しく幸せな気持ちになります。 日本酒も新潟には珍しく、新潟以外の素晴らしい日本酒も飲めるのも最高！！

(Translated by Google) A famous restaurant with limited outlets in Niigata City! A Michelin star-rated sushi restaurant. Everyone lines up at the counter and starts at the same time. It's entertainment... Using seasonal ingredients beautifully, delicious Niigata dishes are lined up one after another as the chef talks. We enjoyed a wonderful meal while spending a fun time with people from Tokyo and locals. We listened to the chef's explanation and were able to eat Niigata ingredients in the best way! Of course, the hospitality of the staff was also excellent. The nigiri sushi was great, but the fried tartare with scales was also superb ^ ^ I'll come again! (Original) 新潟市に限定出店されている銘店！ ミシュランで⭐︎を獲得のお鮨屋さん。 カウンターに皆さん並び、一斉スタート。 まさに、エンターテイメントです。。。 旬の食材を見事に使い、大将の語りとともに、 新潟の美味しいものが次々と並んでいきます。 東京から来られた方々や、地元の方々と、楽しいひとときを共にしながら、最高のお食事をいただきました。 大将の解説をお聞きし、新潟の食材の一番佳きいただき方で食べることができます！ もちろん、スタッフの皆さまの接遇も最高です。 握りはもちろんですが、鱗付きのタルタルフライは、絶品^ ^ また伺います！

(Translated by Google) Tokiwa Sushi, located in Shibata City, opened on August 23, 2024, separate from the Shibata main store. The Niigata store is open only on weekdays, while the Shibata main store is open on weekends and holidays. It's nice that Kobayashi makes both sushi, rather than leaving one to a second-in-command. Lunch, nigiri only, 13,000 yen Fava bean porridge, fava bean tofu Sado sea bass, kelp stock, pickled Sumi squid Nanban shrimp Black cod, grilled Bamboo shoots, steamed and charcoal-grilled, fish sauce made a year ago, dried corn, powdered green laver Baby sweetfish Sado tuna, 70kg, wild garlic Strained oil roll Sakura trout Sea bream Oboro roll made with Pacific cod, peanuts, dried gourd, perilla, walnuts, star anise for conger eel claws Nodoguro Conger eel, salt Clam bowl, green laver Omelette A course made with plenty of ingredients from Niigata. The first porridge was very delicious, and the nigiri were of course first-class. I love it, after all. The fat of the Nodoguro and the Sakuramasu salmon from Niigata are outstanding. The dishes that can only be eaten here, such as the Oboro roll made with Pacific cod and Nanban shrimp, are also excellent. I also love the salmon roe, which is no longer available all year round, so I'd like to go again. Although the price has increased by 5,000 yen since I ate there three and a half years ago, it is still great value for money. Recommended. (Original) 新発田市にある登喜和鮨が新発田本店とは別に2024年8月23日にオープンされたお店。新潟店が平日のみ営業で新発田本店が土日祝の営業。片方を二番手に任せるという営業形態ではなくどちらも小林氏が握ってくれるのも嬉しい。 ランチ　握りのみ　13000円 そら豆のおかゆ　そら豆豆腐 佐渡　スズキ　昆布だし　漬け スミイカ 南蛮エビ くろむつ　炙り 筍　蒸して炭火で焼いて1年前に作った魚醤　乾燥とうもろこし　アオサを粉に 鮎の子ども 佐渡　まぐろ　70kg 行者にんにく こしあぶらの巻物 桜鱒 バイ貝 真鱈を使ったおぼろの巻物　落花生　かんぴょう　エゴマ　くるみ　穴子のつめに八角 のどぐろ 穴子　塩 蛤のお椀　あおさ 玉子焼き 新潟で取れる食材をふんだんに使ったコース。最初のお粥から非常に美味しく、握りももちろん一級品の美味しさ。好きだなーやっぱり。出始めののどぐろの脂や新潟の桜鱒の旨さは際立っている。真鱈を使ったおぼろの巻物や南蛮エビなどここでしか食べられないネタも最高。通年じゃなくなったいくらも大好きだからまた行きたいなー。 3年半前に食べた時より5000円値上げしているとはいえ、いまだにCPも素晴らしい。おすすめ。
