Niigata is a fabulous destination for seafood lovers. On the Sea of Japan the fish here is fresher than what many restaurants serve in Tokyo. Saké is also the local drink and I love the many opportunities to try small portions of a variety of nihonshu at bars and retail shops.

At the port on Sado island a vending machine for only ¥500 ($3.50) that includes a guinomi sake cup with three pours. Brilliant. What is not to love? Perfect for sampling before making any purchases.

To get to Sado we took the jetfoil from Niigata port. After arriving in Sado we grabbed lunch at Sushi Uohide which is right in front of the ferry terminal. So much to love about the Uogashi Sashimi Teishoku lunch set. Includes a grilled fish, sashimi, and shijimi corbicula clams in the miso soup. All of this for only ¥1,500 ($10).
