Collection: Products from Niigata Prefecture

Located on the Sea of Japan and surrounded by snow-capped mountains, Niigata Prefecture is renowned for the exceptional quality of its rice. Grown in fertile rice paddies irrigated by pure mountain water, Niigata is also the birthplace of some of the country’s finest sakes, crafted using time-honored techniques.

In addition to its exceptional rice, the region is famous for its delicious seafood, such as buri (yellowtail) and the delicate nanban ebi shrimp, as well as for its noppe, a traditional stew made with vegetables and mushrooms. Hegisoba noodles, with their unique texture thanks to the funori seaweed that binds them, are also among the local specialties
