traditional Japanese cuisine Araragi
Every day, for this moment.
We believe every food has its best moment. Araragi is committed to serving you the dish at the best timing when the food is most delicious.
We treasure every encounter with ingredients.
We believe ingredients determines the whole dining experience. There are encounters with wonderful seasonal ingredients every day. It is our techniques and knowledge that draw out the full potential of the ingredients.
Cherishing the tradition passed down from the past, we continue pursuing innovation in honor of all the ingredients that we cook.
Here in Niigata.
Araragi's first restaurant opened close to Niigata Station in 1988. It's new history has started in Higashibori-dori, Furumachi, Niigata.
What we would like to create are dishes that make people happy as mom's home cooking. We treasure every encounter with people, ingredients and opportunities.
In order to develop ourselves and pass the heritage to the next generation, Araragi never ceases to proceed.
