Museum on Echigo-Tsumari (MonET) 1F Community Space

Original burgers supervised by Chef Fumio Yonezawa are sold. The menu changes with the seasons, and the burgers, which include Tsumari pork, Kagura Nanban, walnuts, and other unique Tsumari flavors, are always popular and sold out many days. The chef's special hamburgers, made with his extensive knowledge of local ingredients, are a special menu item that cannot be found anywhere else.
