Thank you for this great video. I am going to Japan next March (my 4th trip to Japan), and we will spend 1 night in Niigata city and 3 nights on Sado Island. I very much look forward to it.

Wow! I do agree that it is a treasure trove of food. There is still a lack of English accessibility that keeps people from getting to know about the food from the people, a lack of tour programs that allow for those experiences, and a transportation system that isn't ready for large suitcases at the moment due to the low amount of people coming. There is an overall fear to visit the prefecture due to possible language confusion.
