Ahh this looks like an amazing daytrip idea ๐ฅฐ The Onigiri look so good. That Sake looks really good too ๐ Hoping to return to Tokyo in October/November, and definitely looking forward to trying more Sake.
Shinichi you are doing well, keep on at the selfcare and things that bring you both happiness. Looking forward to seeing more videos, thankyou both again

Thank you for sharing your beautiful country and food with us. I wish i could be there to try it too.
Amazing! Wished I knew of this place when I visited Japan in November, though I did travel to Niigata city and experienced a brewery tour there and soba. Hakkaisan is one my favourite sake plus the beer and food you showed all looks fab. A must go to when I return to Japan in hopefully not too distant future ๐. Thanks for this great video! ๐ถ๐โค
The winter scenery is truly magical! I love the contrast of the bare trees and the snow. Thank you for showing all the lovely treats in Niigata!
Satoshi is a LEGEND!! Love watching your food adventures ๐ฉท
Que bien me alegra que disfrutarais la escapada ๐คฉ
Thank you for showing other places to visit, away from the crowds.
Shinichi pointing to an actual blizzard and Satoshi being like mmm thats just snow was so funny! Thanks for such an interesting video, my brother works on brewery plant designs in the US and i think heโd love tasting the snow cooled sake here. It seems like you enjoyed your trip a lot, so lovely to see
So beautiful! I would love to visit there!
Thank you for sharing this beauty, this *stillness – with us. Even through pixels, there are restorative, centering, nourishing things for us as well. Best to you both-
๐๐
The food that you guys are eating are amazing! That's just snowfall, snow blizzards are not fun to be in and to deal with.
Onigiri always looks delicious to me, the Konbu filling made my mouth water
Love this video not just for the great food but the total vibe of that area in winter, so pretty. Hope you guys get to visit other places in Japan like this that tourists don't really hear about.
Wanted to ask how you get from Urasa station to Uonuma? Thanks.
This is a truly wonderful video. Loved the tour of the snow-chilled sake producer. RE: "a blizzard"–the maximum visibility is about 15-20 feet. I live in northern Wisconsin, and we have blizzards. They are terrifying to in.
Wow I really enjoyed this. I hope you both can do more things like this all over the country โค
The snow makes it like a enchanted land. Love the kotatsu at the soba restaurant. The scenery is amazing, the bakery looks so good en beer brewed with koji sounds so interesting! Niigata should be on more people's travel plans.
The falling snow is so beautiful. I think I would go back every year during the winter if I lived in Tokyo.
This was such a beautiful video. Definitely on our bucket list. The only problem watching your channel is we will have to stay even longer in Japan on our visit. ๐ ๐๐
You both are the best embassadors for Japan
Weizen, Alt and Pilsener ๐ they have all the types of beer you usually get in Germany
