Izakaya Shinkansen 2 (Bullet Train Bistro 2 / 居酒屋新幹線 シーズン2)

I arrived at Tsubame-Sanjo Station in Niigata Prefecture, where I am going on a business trip today.

What is this place?

Even though it's a station, it feels like a showroom.

As expected, Tsubame-Sanjo is a manufacturing town.

My job is internal audit.

Visit branches across the country to conduct detailed investigations

Yeah, the more seriously you do it, the more people hate you.

It's a tough role

Basically, work is a day trip

It's quite tiring for my body and mind, but for me...

I had a secret pleasure

（進）今日

There was a number that I almost overlooked by mistake.

Lately, I feel like my work has become too routine.

It's not a very good situation.

Huh...

Is that the Shinano River?

Well, I managed to avoid making any mistakes today.

Shall we prepare the utage?

The main thing has been decided

Kamameshi is famous around here.

Moreover, there is a culture of taking out food.

It seems to be taking root

Perfect for the Izakaya Shinkansen

I chose a shop near the station.

here

sorry

Yes.

Oh welcome

I'd like to take out that kamameshi.

Thank you.

There are different types

yes

Seasonal oysters and mushrooms

Then the regular sea gomoku kamameshi

We have kamameshi with Koshino chicken.

Well, what is Koshinodori?

It's Niigata's representative brand of chicken.

It's rich and delicious.

Huh?

Wow, I'm worried

Is it seasonal or chicken unique to Niigata?

It's hard to throw away the classic seafood too.

Hmm, but it's a big deal...

Well, I'd like Koshino chicken kamameshi, please.

Thank you very much. Please take about 30 minutes.

Yes, I'll come pick it up later.

Yes.

yeah?

Do you also have Tochio fried tofu?

Yes.

You can take this home too.

ah…

Unglazed grilled chili pepper miso (miso) Is there also natto?

Moreover, you can choose between one piece and half.

What a nice gesture

I would like half of the unglazed rice, please.

I got it

I unexpectedly encountered two Niigata specialties.

Local production center?

I wonder what that is?

Are they selling local products because they say they are locally produced?

I feel like we might have a good encounter.

By the way

There is no such thing as Tsubamesanjo City.

The combined area of ​​Tsubame City and Sanjo City

It's called Tsubame Sanjo.

oh…

this is an amazing view

Japanese knife and Western knife

Are there so many types?

Is this a luxurious Western tableware set?

yeah?

A spoon that hangs over the rim of a bottle

Looks convenient

Oops

At this rate I can keep watching for hours

If you don't prepare

yeah?

A tin cup?

“With the ion effect of tin”

“Drinks become more mellow”

Does it mean “it tastes delicious”?

Huh...

I have to buy this

Oh… they also sell alcohol.

A cup of sake is fine, but you should also buy a sake cup.

Igarashi River...

If that is the Shinano River, then this river is...

It's called Igarashi River.

Is that the river?

Okay, let's have this sake.

What is this?

Le Lectier

Huh, is it a Niigata specialty pear?

I tend to get into a routine where my first drink is always beer.

Let's go on an adventure once in a while

There's a restaurant there too.

It seems like a store that is particular about it.

Should I ask if I can take out?

Good job

Huh...

Huh...

Huh...

Shall we start?

Approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes from Tsubame-Sanjo to Tokyo

It's a good time to sing

Today we have pear liquor instead of wine.

But I didn't know that pears were a specialty of Niigata.

Izakaya Shinkansen opens

It's delicious

Refreshing aroma with refreshing acidity and sweetness

It's like a freshly peeled fruit

Assorted appetizers

I had takeout from that restaurant.

Whoa... this is a stylish shop.

Welcome.

Hello

Can I have a takeout please?

I can do it
