＜Overview＞  

What is your image of Niigata prefecture? areas of superior quality rice? 
areas of where they produce the finest sake in the world? areas of heavy snowfall?  

They are all correct however its not only the rice, sake and snow which makes Niigata so attractive,
but the craftsmen who kept improving their skills and developing new tools to create fulfilling life.
The spirit of the craftsmen often refered as "monodzukuri" is not just about producing high-quality products, 
but it is an attitude of craftsmanship, where the maker strives to improve his skills every day.  

This time, we would like to invite you to a event "Niigata in 10 at Daikanyama" focusing on products from Niigata Prefecture
where you can see and experience the soul that goes into the production of Niigata's high quality manufacturing.

Why not stop-by before or after browsing the backstreet boutiques and strolling hip urban area of Daikanyama!
