I’m taking a special train in Niigata Japan. It’s called Koshino Shu*Kura.
It’s operated by JR East.
Niigata is famous for its rice and sake.

r u gey
I feel a bit ignorant, for some reason I thought sake was served warm. I really enjoyed this video and learned a lot. Miso gelato might sound odd, but I would think it was savory to complement the sweet sake. Have to admit I got a bit of second hand tipsy… lol
I just adore your videos so much. Thanks for letting us all travel with you! π
'I will melt the gelato with my passion….' (falls into an alcohol-induced snooze…)

Solo San Sake rating !! dozes off means it's really good. Great video,
Probably the most socially acceptable way to be pissed on a train π
After one serving of sake, I'm usually incredibly drunk. I can't imagine having so much, let alone on a moving train haha! But you made it all look good ππ
Your videos helped guide me to great food in Japan.
Solo-san knows how to travel! I love those Japanese trains!π―π΅ππ
You become an alcoholic after this train
I'm from Sturgis SD….kinda cowboy. Can I get Rumplemint and steaks over there?
I'm selling out come Fall and I'm a traveling πππ
Am I wrong for wanting that box and cup for my drink?
I am in awe. You had to be pretty wasted when you walked back from the bar car with the last two sakes and you didnβt spill a drop.
Hello!!! Thanks for sharing this train experience. Adding it to my travel wish list!
Loved the tour, but go easy on the sake. Watching this from my nightshift at alcohol rehab, and hate to see anything bad happen to you do to too much consumption
I was thinking, how dose it come that regions or cities are famous for something… Is it like… A historical thing, developed out of the resources they had, or is it more like a marketing thing (or maybe both), dose every region/city has it?
Sake on a train!!!!
Now that sounds like luxury!
I hope it was really a thrilling experience!!!
I have never seen the sake cup inside a box before, that is so cool! I also have never tried sake with salt. Now I want to find both.
Ok, this is a must do on my next trip to Japan. Thank you!
Lol I thought the comments were exaggerating but nope! π π
Really enjoy your videos and always wondered…how did all this start? Do you travel as a job? Like a travel reviewer, etc?
Thank you for taking this old lady on another interesting trip. This is just the thing I would enjoy. Eating, drinking and then going home. The scenery was beautiful. From NC, USA
I was half expecting you to say β I had to book into a hotel room after getting off the Sake train to sleep it off βπ
My dream train rideπβ€
I'm very eager to visit Japan once the travel restrictions have been officially lifted, this channel has inspired me to visit this beautiful country through various means!
My guy got hammered by 11:50am. Now that's a vacation.
You needed to find a capsule hotel and sleep off your drunkenness! Poor Solo Traveler!
You are too cute!!!π
Well i can tell you right now id need help getting off that train πππ€£π
!!
I hear the two little beeps at the start of your videos and just relax. It is a great segue telling me I'm in for an interesting and relaxing few minutes with minimal voices, wonderful views and tempting food!
Take you very much for taking us with you on your sake trip. I am now so tempted to go on the same trip.
π―Absolute perfectionπ₯π₯π«Ά CALIIII π YOUUUI!!!!
The snowy scenery in springtime Echigo looks so idyllic. It's probably the heavy snowfall preventing services in the winter, like STJ guessed.
This looks like a great time. Sake Train
Hmmmm you know what would be nice, a service where you can eat and drink as much as you like for as long as you like, and they make sure you wake up in your own bed some day.
Echoing many of the other comments here, that was an epic battle to stay on top of all that sake, you did extremely well. My drinking habits have mellowed with age but I have to admit that this video did make me go and pour a glass of aged Scotch malt whisky to enjoy whilst watching.
5:00am….Oh, this vid gave me a terrible stomach ache. I need a shot…of Pepto Bismol π½
I enjoyed this very much. I'm very adventurous when it comes to food but I'm not sure I would enjoy my eggs so undercooked, though I know it is the custom there. Have watched many of your videos and like them all. Wonderful, beautiful country, sorry I will never be able to travel there
So how freaking drunk did you getπ……love the videos ! Greetz from Holland.
Here I am riding on the Iiyama line from Echigo-Kawaguchi to get to this train in Tokamachi. If you want to use the JR rail pass to get there it takes a few more steps. But I am able to see some parts of Japan that many tourists donβt so Iβm thankful for that. And thankful to STJ to showing me so many wonderful things in Japan.
I'd be plastered!
To those who are understood in the world of sake; Is there some type of sake that has a low graduation? It's to start trying. Thank you so much
Omg I was getting annoyed how little you drink on your videos!
I will melt it with my passion. Hehe <3
