Japanese Traditional Snacks in Niigata?
I've found a few smaller Japanese style finger-food style snacks or sweets, but I'm always in search of new places. Dora-yaki, manju, daifuku, those sorts of snacks/sweets. If you've got recommendations, please share them!
I never thought I would call Japan my home, but after 20 years I understand the beauty and appeal of Land of the Rising Sun. Part of my affection for Japan stems from my bride, Manami who introduced me to the essence of this magical land. As an amateur historian and sociologist, the uniqueness of Japan’s past captured my heart and soul, bonding me to the society and culture that is now a part of me. This society has embraced me, and I am no longer a visitor, I have recast myself as a cultural hybrid, always updating my identity with the rich cultural information from the past into the present, and, invariably, the future.

Not sure if you want Niigata City recommendations or Niigata Prefecture as a whole, but if you're ever in Urasa there's a great little shop behind the station called Tamaya Confectionery. We love their sasadango, but they have a variety of other mochi-based sweets. Their address is 965 Urasa, Minamiuonuma, Niigata 949-7302.
