[Fukui] Tsuruga Station: Orpark and Ekiben Shiosou

I got off at Tsuruga Station on the JR Hokuriku Main Line. My destination was Shiosou's original tai sushi, which has been making ekiben since the Meiji era. Looking back at history, it seems that they have been in business here for generations since the early Edo period. Their pressed sushi made with lotus roe caught in the nearby seas is elegant, easy to eat, and filling, making it a great meal for your train trip or as a souvenir. I actually wanted to buy some sasa sushi, but it required a reservation in advance. Unfortunately, I didn't do enough research this time. . Thunderbird and Shirasagi express trains stop at Tsuruga Station. On this day, the connecting train was significantly delayed, so I was stuck. However, the multi-purpose facility (?) directly connected to the station, Olpark, has a variety of shops and facilities, including a waiting room, restrooms, a convenience store, and a standing soba restaurant, in addition to Shiosou, so the wait time was not a problem even in the middle of winter. When transferring between trains in rural areas, it is reassuring to use a terminal station in case something happens. Also, the Hokuriku Shinkansen will be extended to Tsuruga in 2024. #Fukui #Tsuruga #ekiben #Hokuriku Shinkansen
