Nagaoka, Niigata, Japan｜Friend CoCoLo Nagaoka

Delicous! A must-try food when visiting in Niigata! :-)

Friend's CoCoLo store next to the CocCoLo Nagaoka food court. You can eat Italian food, which is Niigata's B-class gourmet food. When you think of Italian, you think of ``Mikazuki'' in the Niigata City area and ``Friend'' in the Nagaoka area. Italian cuisine is fried noodles with meat sauce, but each dish has a slightly different taste. Mikazuki's meat sauce is refreshing and still has a yakisoba feel, but Friend's meat sauce is sweeter and richer, giving the impression that it has a stronger spaghetti feel. Different people like different things, so it's fun to compare them. It seems that these restaurants originally have the same roots, but in order to differentiate themselves, they slightly change the taste to give them their individuality. Friend's gyoza is also popular, so if you have the stomach for more than just Italian food, you can also buy gyoza.

Since it's a gourmet meal, I took it out at the end of my business trip lunch. It is a noodle that feels like a snack for 300 yen. It is a unique noodle that is neither yakisoba nor spaghetti, with meat sauce. There was curry Italian or curry. I took it to my hotel room. The noodles are short enough to think about, and this is easy to eat and feels good. I thought that the meat sauce was also made to go well with the noodles. It was delicious like a snack. It was a feast.
