A kappo where Niigata’s seasons arrive on your plate

Tucked along Nishibori-dori in Chuo Ward, Niigata, Kappo Hotaru is the kind of place that makes traditional Japanese dining feel approachable. Settle in at the counter and watch careful knife work and gentle flames turn local seasonal seafood and vegetables into sashimi, grilled bites, and comforting bowls of soup. Niigata’s pride—rice and sake—fits naturally alongside the menu, making each course feel connected to the region. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, like the glow suggested by its name, “Hotaru” (firefly). Come for a quiet evening where the food tells you what season it is.
