Joetsu, Niigata, Japan｜Oota

On the north side of JR Naoetsu Station, a traditional tile-roofed entrance appears where Prefectural Route 468 ends. "Izakaya Ota" It is run by a handsome general and a beautiful proprietress. Although it has many regular customers, it is also a place where you can feel free to drink alone. It gets busy from quite early on, so you may need to make a reservation depending on the time of day. Contrary to its bland appearance, the oden has a rich flavor and is very delicious. The recommended dish is a grilled dried deep-sea fish called Astragalus. Unlike shishamo or mezashi, it has a rich flavor and is perfect as an accompaniment to alcohol, but there are days when it's not available. Also, drying squid is dangerous. They keep asking for alcohol. All of them were really delicious and I drank them all in a good mood. If you ever come to this area again, this is a store you should definitely stop by.

I visited you twice It seems to be quite busy within an hour of opening. It might be safer to make a reservation It's not cheap, but it's delicious Salt is recommended for the yakitori pork belly skewers! Also, the liver will be sold out soon lol I definitely want to eat liver with sauce. The owner is working hard to make grilled and stir-fried dishes. I want to eat the liver I ate the first time again. I ate it with shichimi and it was delicious. It's not reheated after it's been baked, it's baked from raw, so it's crispy and chewy. If you're in Joetsu, you can't go wrong with this restaurant for yakitori.

Odeng and snacks that Koreans like In particular, you must try Violet Chuhai and Kyusuji Oden.
