NEMARU's discovery trip to Niigata in Japan

This is a blog where the owner of NEMARU in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, suggests a trip to Niigata from a slightly subjective point of view.

Weekday lunch at Yoita-machi | Hisanoya's two-course set meal

gourmet Nagaoka City Yoita Area

Nagaoka City is full of restaurants where you can enjoy lunch.

There is the ginger soy sauce ramen and the teradomari seafood set meal that I introduced in a previous blog, but to be honest, there are too many restaurants to introduce in this blog.

If I were to introduce them, it would become a ramen blog (and that would be fine). 

One restaurant I personally frequent is Hisanoya, which I mentioned in my article on the dinner plan!

Not only is it delicious and close to NEMARU, but the set menus, which change daily, are just too good to pass up.

There are two entrances, one on the right and one on the left, but the dining area is on the left with the sign.

The first time the landlord entered the restaurant, he proudly walked into the banqueting hall on the right.

 

Like NEMARU, it is tucked behind one of the shopping streets, so you can enjoy lunch in a relaxed atmosphere.

There is a counter, so it is perfectly fine to come alone!

 

Today's lunch menu consists of five items.

It is wonderful to be able to choose freely.

In addition to the two-piece menus, there are many other lunch menus to choose from.

 

Here is the menu I ordered today!

Horse mackerel sashimi and fried horse mackerel.

How much do you love horse mackerel!

The white rice is local, of course.

Why is the miso soup in Japanese restaurants so different? Is it the dashi?

It also comes with a small bowl of cooked vegetables and pickles.

 

By the way, the picture below is from another day.

I think it was grilled salmon belly and boiled cod.

The menu changes every day so you never get bored.

I always look forward to seeing what they have for us today! I always get excited!

All for 750 yen including tax! (As of September 2022).

Are you sure you want to pay that much?

(It's the same or cheaper than a bowl of ramen...)

I don't mind the price increase at all if the food is this authentic.

A large portion of rice is available for +50 yen, so ask for it if you want to enjoy locally produced Koshihikari rice.

 

I'm stuffed!

Thank you for the food!

This is a wonderful Japanese restaurant where you can enjoy both dinner and lunch.

Be sure to stop by if you're in NEMARU!
Open for lunch from 11:30 to 13:30 (last order at 13:00).

Please note we are closed for lunch on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays.
