Myoko, Niigata, Japan｜2nd Step JY

This is as genuine as you can get with service. They opened their restaurant just for us because they understood that we would otherwise have no place to eat. As a bonus the food was phenomenal, executed to a high standard and the wine list surprising for the location. Extremely kind, and very nice conversation with the husband and wife team that runs the place. Nothing could be better. Cannot wait to return next season.

Had a great evening at this husband-and -wife duo Provençal restaurant with a Japanese touch. Sato-san makes a point to source the best local ingredients and we were lucky to sample some very tasty oysters from Sadoshima as well as an excellent crab pasta. The fried local squid and shrimps with olive, anchovy and garlic tapenade were a real surprise - so light and you could taste how fresh the seafood was. We had a small steak filet from sendai and also enjoyed the delightful, homemade pear sherbet to end. Thanks for hosting us, we hope to be back!

Food is good. I tried the snow crab pasta, it is the whole crab !!! Taste so good!
