Niigata Prefecture
This charming sake shop on the concourse just outside the train station sells hundreds of different types in the kikizake style, where you can purchase five small samples for ¥500. Gourmet nibbles are also served to line the stomach. Don't miss your train!
The tasting area is partitioned off inside the store, in the far corner – look out for the white noren.
