Sushi place in Tsubakio Onsen, boasting Echigo's water and rice

Tsubakio Onsen is a quiet hot spring town located in the northwestern part of Niigata Prefecture. This area has been known for a long time as a rice-producing area in Echigo, blessed with rich water sources and a climate suitable for rice cultivation. The specialty of Tsubakio Onsen, 'Futaba Sushi,' is a renowned restaurant that makes the most of the blessings of the region.

Umami born from Echigo's land and water

What Futaba Sushi prides itself on is the outstanding freshness of its sushi. It is a signature dish of sushi restaurants, but it has been elaborately prepared as a luxurious dish using abundant fresh seafood. The pressed horse mackerel sushi is superb and highly rated by local customers.

Grilled chicken is also a popular dish, offering rare parts such as gizzard. Grilled fish dishes using local agricultural products are also thriving, allowing even those who are not fond of raw food to enjoy a delicious meal.

The nostalgia of the old days and the modern flavors

The interior of the restaurant is a calm, traditional Japanese style, and if you sit at the counter, you can see the artisan's skill up close. There is the real pleasure of savoring the freshness of the sushi to the fullest. On the other hand, the reasonable pricing is also appealing. For women, it is a sufficient amount, and for men who drink alcohol, it may be a little insufficient, but the enjoyable point is that you can enjoy an elegant taste at a reasonable price.

Immerse yourself in the feast of hot springs and flavors

If you stop by during your trip, you can enjoy the abundant Echigo ingredients, which is also a good opportunity to deeply appreciate the emotions of the hot spring town. Why not experience the flavors of Echigo and the hot spring culture at the renowned 'Futaba Sushi,' which has been loved by the local people for many years.
