Japan's Best Tokoroten

Overview

Japan's Best Tokoroten is a hidden gem nestled in the mountains of Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture, offering a refreshing and unique culinary experience. This seasonal spot, closed during winter, is famous for its exceptionally delicious tokoroten (jelly noodles) made with local spring water. The noodles are served with a flavorful tsuyu sauce and a side of refreshing green shiso. Enjoy the cool, clean taste of the tokoroten, known for its lack of seaweed aftertaste and perfect texture. Due to its popularity, especially after TV features, expect crowds and potential waits. It's best to visit during the warmer months for a delightful and authentic taste of Japanese summer.
