Outside the markets is a small square where people gather once they&#8217;ve finished shopping. That\u2019s where the ambiance is in full swing. A few fish are mounted on sticks and grilled in the hot embers, garden tables with a few barbecues are laid out under parasols where families can cook and eat the fresh products they just bought, and a couple of restaurants or simple stalls also offer their specialties.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114359\/IMG_9566-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Pier Bandai Fish Market Fresh Seafood Benkei Sushi Conveyor Belt Niigata City Local Cuisine\" class=\"wp-image-39719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114359\/IMG_9566-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114359\/IMG_9566-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114359\/IMG_9566-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114359\/IMG_9566.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>If, just like me, all these food stalls have left you with quite an appetite, you will find plenty of options to satisfy your taste buds. I chose to go to the restaurant Benkei where you can buy sushi, prepared from the day\u2019s catch, from a conveyor belt. It is a rather busy place, enjoyed by locals and tourists alike, so expect to wait for a little before being seated (it only took me about 20 minutes). A ticket with a number will be given to you upon your arrival, and you can then go and wait on a bench until your number\u2019s called. The way it works is simple: once seated by the counter with a nice view of the open kitchen and the sushi chefs at work, you simply have to pick any plate you wish that\u2019s passing by. An English menu is available to check the kind of fish used in the different sushi plates, and you can also ask one of the chefs to prepare something for you if you don\u2019t see it on the conveyor belt. The fish is as fresh as it gets and melts in your mouth. Simply delicious. Once you are full, a waitress will come by and calculate the receipt based on the pattern design of the plates you chose, each of which corresponds to a different price. No unfortunate surprises here as the most expensive sushi only costs 500 yen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-nuttari-shopping-district\">Go Shopping in Niigata&#8217;s Nuttari shopping district<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, with a full stomach, I left Pier Bandai and its fresh fish and lovely merchants behind and started a little walk to digest, heading towards <strong>Nuttari Terrace Street<\/strong> not far from the pier. During my trip to Niigata in June, the sun was up, and the <strong>hydrangeas were in full bloom<\/strong>, which made it all the more pleasant to stroll through the quiet streets leading up to the Nuttari district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"39712\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114604\/IMG_8632-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Nuttari Terrace Strict Shopping District Boutique Niigata City Local Cuisine\" class=\"wp-image-39712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114604\/IMG_8632-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114604\/IMG_8632-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114604\/IMG_8632-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114604\/IMG_8632.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"39726\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114146\/IMG_9602-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Nuttari Terrace Strict Shopping District Boutique Niigata City Local Cuisine\" class=\"wp-image-39726\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114146\/IMG_9602-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114146\/IMG_9602-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114146\/IMG_9602-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114146\/IMG_9602.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After a mere 15-minute walk through lovely streets, there I was in the rather hipster Nuttari Terrace: a street where many shops line up, with slightly rusty jug roofs but with cute storefronts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"692\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114253\/IMG_9593-1024x692.jpg\" alt=\"Nuttari Terrace Strict Shopping District Boutique Niigata City Local Cuisine\" class=\"wp-image-39723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114253\/IMG_9593-1024x692.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114253\/IMG_9593-500x338.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114253\/IMG_9593.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once known as Nuttari Market Street, it was a busy market up until the 60s.

The atmosphere is cozy and intimate as if every shop owner in the street was opening the door to their own home. If daily life in this district goes at a peaceful pace, a few events are organized on a regular basis. Like every first Sunday morning of the month, when the shops install a market. Opening hours can vary from one shop to the other, so the official website recommends visiting the district on a Friday or Saturday for a better chance to have them all open. I was there on a Sunday afternoon, and even though not all the shops were open, I could already find plenty to browse through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-nuttari-beer-and-furumachi-kouji\">Try Local Nuttari beer and Furumachi Kouji<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Known not only for this lovely street with old-fashioned charm, the Nuttari district is primarily famous for its expertise in fermentation. Of course, the making of the sake, but also miso, beer, or even koji (the fungus used in sake production). To learn more about these specialties and to end a day spent immersing myself in Niigata\u2019s local life, I still had two addresses on my to-visit list: <strong>Nuttari Beer Pub and the Furumachi Kouji Factory shop.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"39727\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114126\/IMG_9606-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Nuttari Beer Craft Bar Shopping District Niigata City Local Cuisine\" class=\"wp-image-39727\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114126\/IMG_9606-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114126\/IMG_9606-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114126\/IMG_9606-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114126\/IMG_9606.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"39728\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114115\/IMG_9607-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Nuttari Beer Craft Bar Shopping District Niigata City Local Cuisine\" class=\"wp-image-39728\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114115\/IMG_9607-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114115\/IMG_9607-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114115\/IMG_9607-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114115\/IMG_9607.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nuttari beer pub is a small bar with just a couple of seats attached to the brewery of the same name. There are about seven beers brewed on-site and a few snacks on the menu. Even though the names of the beers are written in English, their description in Japanese made it difficult to decide. But that was before the staff, and other customers lent me a hand! While the bartender offered me a sample to try lager beer, my table neighbor recommended an amber beer named the Milky Pale Ale I decided to order. Even though we didn\u2019t understand each other very well, the pub owner was eager to chat and offered me a few pickled vegetables. Nuttari is a small pub where you can have<strong> a good time while sipping on a local quality beer!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"327\" data-id=\"39730\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114048\/IMG_9614-500x327.jpg\" alt=\"Furumachi Kouji Factory Store Sake Amazake Nuttari District Shopping Niigata City Local Cuisine\" class=\"wp-image-39730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114048\/IMG_9614-500x327.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114048\/IMG_9614-1024x669.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114048\/IMG_9614.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" data-id=\"39729\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114105\/IMG_9613-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Furumachi Kouji Factory Store Sake Amazake Nuttari District Shopping Niigata City Local Cuisine\" class=\"wp-image-39729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114105\/IMG_9613-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114105\/IMG_9613-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114105\/IMG_9613-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/s3.voyapon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/19114105\/IMG_9613.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The last stop of the day was Furumachi Kouji Factory\u2019s beautiful shop. Located in a former warehouse entirely renovated, this shop offers many malted rice products to taste or buy. Their main product: <strong>a surprising drink close to <\/strong><em><strong>amazake<\/strong> (<\/em>a sweet, milky, and alcohol-free sake) that comes in many tastes. These flavors follow the seasons and regional flavors and can be drunk hot or cold. Among the different flavors, you can find soy milk, fruity options like <em>yuzu (<\/em>Japanese citrus), or more spicy options such as cinnamon and ginger. Along with this drink, you can find on the shelves a few cosmetics made from the same ingredients with equally well-designed packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still have some time left to wander around, feel free to drop by the shop next door specializing in miso products. Or if, like me, you need to catch a train from Niigata Station, it is only a 15-minute walk from there, mostly straight ahead, with your arms filled with local souvenirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-reaching-niigata\">How to Get to Niigata<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From Tokyo<\/strong>: The trip from Tokyo to Niigata can be easily made via the Joetsu Shinkansen Line in about two hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From Kanazawa<\/strong>: You will need around three hours and 30 minutes to reach Niigata from Kanazawa Station via the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line, with a change in Takasaki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can go from Niigata Station to Pier Bandai, then from Pier Bandai to the Nuttari district, and back to the station on foot. Only 10 to 15 minutes of walking are needed to travel between these destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"htoc-practical-information\">Business Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a aria-label=\"Pier Bandai\u2019s website (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/enjoyniigata.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Pier Bandai\u2019s website<\/a><\/strong> (in Japanese).

Aux fourneaux ou les mains dans le terreau, absorb\u00e9e par un livre ou une posture de yoga ; c'est d'\u00eatre en plein coeur d'un voyage, mon appareil photo autour du cou, que j'aime par dessus tout. Apr\u00e8s avoir go\u00fbt\u00e9 aux d\u00e9lices du voyage et \u00e0 l'excitation d'une premi\u00e8re expatriation (Pays-Bas), j'embarquais ainsi en Mars 2018 pour une ann\u00e9e au Japon.
