[Niigata] Local delicacies that can only be enjoyed in the prefecture

📍 Echigo Tokamachi Kojimaya, Niigata A local Niigata gourmet dish you'll want to try when you come to Niigata: "Hegisoba" The characteristics of hegi soba are the unique texture and smoothness of the nori seaweed used as a binder, and the way it is served like a wave😊 Traditionally, in Niigata, where soba is often eaten in large groups at weddings, funerals, and other ceremonial occasions, when it is served in a large bowl, it is rolled into bite-sized pieces so that each person can easily eat, and beautifully arranged in a wave-like shape. The wooden bowl in which it is served is called "hegi," and it is said that it came to be called "hegi soba" because it was served in this "hegi" bowl💫 Echigo Tokamachi Kojimaya's hegi soba is made using only carefully selected domestic ingredients, and is made with 100% buckwheat flour from Nagano Prefecture and Hokkaido. The funori seaweed is from Aomori Prefecture. The soup stock is made with carefully selected ingredients, including bonito flakes from Kochi Prefecture, which have a strong aroma, bonito flakes from Makurazaki, Kagoshima, which brings out the flavor, and kelp from Rishiri, Hokkaido! ! I wanted to go to the main store in Tokamachi, but there was a Kojimaya store near the store where I rented a car, so I went there 🚗 I was surprised to find a store in Aeon!! lol It's a popular store, so many people, including locals and tourists, came to eat! The store also sold soba as souvenirs ♡ It seems that there are 6 stores in the prefecture 🏬 Add excitement to your daily life: 🌙↓The store I visited this time is 📍 Echigo Tokamachi Kojimaya Joetsu Store, Niigata 📮 1st floor of Aeon Joetsu, 3457 Tomioka, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture 🕚 11:00-20:00 🚗 About 15 minutes by car from JR Joetsu Myoko Station #Gourmet #Domestic Travel #Niigata Trip #Niigata Tourism #Niigata Gourmet #Local Gourmet
