The 2024 Noto earthquake struck on New Year's Day, 2024. It caused substantial damage to the Hokuriku region, and there is a long road to recovery, as exemplified by the number of people who are still living in shelters. We want to support the Hokuriku region how ever we can. With this in mind, we have selected five Japanese restaurants in Niigata Prefecture. Let's support Hokuriku while enjoying delicious Japanese food!
