Niigata

Only a very brief stop here before moving on to Kanazawa. The overnight ferry from Otaru was on very choppy waters so didn't get much sleep and didn't have much energy to go walking. I did find one gem though, not far from my hotel - the Standing Curry Restaurant. It's what you think! Situated in the corner of the bus station you order your dish and eat it standing up at a counter. They won a national curry award the previous year and I had a fantastic udon curry there. If you're ever in Niigata don't miss this.
