Shimizuen
Ultimate Relaxation Born from Forest and Natural Water
Shibata is a “crystalline castle town.” The Aga River and veins of snowmelt hone rice, sake, and vegetables until Niigata’s terroir rises to the palate. Night belongs to Né, where the cuisine reaches its apex; the next day, surrender to heat and well water at sui in the forest. Food and forest align on a single line—an uncommon experience, quiet and deep.
