Common
Michelin-starred restaurant Common invites you to enjoy a blissful moment in your daily life with seasonal fresh fish and ingredients from Niigata.
Restaurant Details
Located in Niigata, Common was awarded one star in the MICHELIN GUIDE NIIGATA 2021. In the nine years since opening the restaurant in his hometown, the owner Hasegawa has gotten to know many people and learned about the local delicacies, and now he makes a course with a selection of Niigata's best foods.
Every dish is gorgeously plated; for example, the Sado Island grouper sashimi. Ginkgo and autumn leaves decorate the vegetables, giving a seasonal touch to this lovely dish. The meat of the grouper, which was quickly cooked in hot water, is firm and delicious. The ponzu (Japanese sauce made with citrus) and green onion spice up the dish, giving it a refreshing taste.
Sea bream is also recommended. It has been fried and then tossed in the soup, and has a delicious concentrated flavor. Turnips and shiitake mushrooms are also mixed with the grated radish, giving it a comforting taste.
If you’re looking for an upscale restaurant in Niigata, enjoy a Michelin-starred meal at Common!

SEAT RESERVATIONKappo Watanabe
Kappo Watanabe in Niigata offers sake and Japanese cuisine, using local ingredients that reflect the four seasons.
COURSE MENUMARUICHI FUJI AKASAKA (formerly Nyorosuke Akasaka)
Rather than steam the eel first in Kanto style, this famed Akasaka unagi specialist upholds Kansai tradition by going straight into grilling the eel for a crispier, crunchier texture.
COURSE MENUAzabujuban Hanabusa
This Tokyo restaurant sources its eels from unagi farmers in Isshiki Town, who have raised them in an all-natural environment for over 100 years. The unagi are then coated in a secret sauce, before being grilled Kansai-style over a charcoal flame.
COURSE MENUNyorosuke Roppongi
At Nyorosuke, you can experience authentic Kansai-style charcoal grilled eel dishes such as grilled eel skewers, unaju and unagi-don. Unlike most Tokyo-style eel restaurants, the eel here is not steamed—meaning it’s bursting full of flavor!
