Benten Sushi - A Treasure Box of Fresh Sushi

"Benten Sushi," a popular sushi restaurant in Higashi-ku, Niigata City, is truly a treasure trove of seafood. There are long lines even before opening, and the place is bustling with locals during lunchtime.

Hearty and Fresh Sashimi

The most popular dish here is the sashimi. While waiting for the order, expectations rise. And as the plate is brought, you will be overwhelmed by the lavishness. Nodoguro, tai, buri, maguro, salmon, ikura, hotate, sweet shrimp, and rare ankimo, a rich variety of fresh seafood is served.

The price is reasonable at 1,300 yen, and the content is truly worthy of being called a "feast." You can truly experience the freshness and quantity of the sushi, as well as its cost-effectiveness.

A Holiday in a Relaxing Space

The calm atmosphere inside the restaurant offers counter seats, as well as sunken kotatsu and tatami rooms, where you can enjoy your meal in relaxation. However, during peak hours, you may have to share a table with others.

Despite being a popular restaurant with long queues even on weekdays, arriving early will allow you to enter in turn. You will surely enjoy the treasure box-like sashimi and have a relaxing time.

This is a sushi restaurant that is always busy. The location may be difficult to find, but the nearest one is 2-3 minutes from the Niigata Bypass Ebigase Interchange. The inside of the restaurant is private, but it has the atmosphere of a Japanese sushi restaurant. He is kind and polite, and the seafood bowl is fresh and voluminous, and the vinegared rice is also delicious. The soup was so delicious that I wanted a second helping. (Refills are not free.) Seafood bowl (average) 1,300 yen (medium portion) 1,400 yen (large portion) Both toppings and vinegared rice are 1,400 yen. Please order as much as you can eat. It was a great satisfaction. If you are planning to go, we recommend arriving early.

There was a long line at the store, so we arrived 15 minutes before the store opened at 11:30, and there were already 4 cars parked there. There is a parking lot for about 5 cars in front of the store, and an empty lot on the left side when facing the store. Perhaps because it was raining, I waited in my car until 5 minutes before we arrived, and when I got there, the store staff let me in a little earlier, probably because of the weather. The inside of the restaurant has counter seats, a small raised area, and a tatami room in the back, so it gets crowded at lunchtime, so if you're a small group, you'll have to share the seats. I ordered a 1,300 yen large portion of Nama Chirashi for a service lunch, so I ordered 1,400 yen. Since we were the fifth group, the fresh chirashi was in front of us about 20 minutes after entering the store. Wow, there are so many stories and the visuals are overwhelming. It used to be 1,000 yen and now it's 1,300 yen, but when I see it in front of me, I think even 1,300 yen is still cheap. All the ingredients are fresh and of course delicious. You'll be happy with the variety of toppings, including the inclusion of red bean liver. I didn't think the rice was vinegared rice. I thought it was vinegared rice because it was a chirashi, but I think it was just regular rice. Personally, I thought the vinegared rice was good. It's a popular store and can get crowded even on weekdays, so we recommend arriving early. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Benten Sushi in Niigata City. The raw flyer for lunch is 1300 yen. There is an additional 100 yen for medium and large servings. In addition to the flyer, it comes with a soup and a small bowl. The flyer included tuna, squid, octopus, shrimp, monk liver, firefly squid, denbu, tamagoyaki, and many other sashimi, making it a good value seafood bowl. The restaurant opens at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, so we arrived around 11:15 and there were about 4 people in line. There were 5 seats at the counter and a small raised area in the front and back, so I was able to get in on the first round. You can park in front of the store or in the gravel parking lot next to the store. Thank you for the meal.

I went there for lunch. It was around 1pm, but the place was almost full and we had to share our seats. A small bowl and tea came out and I ordered chirashi sushi. It was filling and delicious. There was also a sign for silent meals, so we ate quietly and deliciously. Not only the taste but also the staff at the restaurant were very pleasant and I was very satisfied!
