Hotel Italiaken

In the summer of Meiji 7th, there was a young Italian cook, Pietro Milliole, in a group of French Sueri troupes who came to Niigata, which was booming when the port opened. Milliole was seriously injured and left by the party, but Gonsuke and Osui, who had been hired by the troupe in Niigata, became their kind caregivers. The prefectural official Masataka Kusumoto, who was impressed by this story, gave funds to open a beef nabe shop in Milliole. The store was thriving, and Milliole was also known as "Miora" and became a popular person. One day, he became a married couple and had a happy time. However, the store was burned down by the great fire of 13th year of Meiji and I was worried that Miora would be shocked to return to Italy, but with the encouragement of the people around me, I opened the first authentic Western restaurant in Japan at the present location of Nishibori. It was The elegant western-style building and the taste of the food, which was named "Italyken" by the idea of ​​Osuui, were praised as "This is the Nikangata no Kanarukan", and it became a cutting-edge restaurant. Miora, who has continued to contribute to the center of Niigata as a new food culture, returned to his home country, Italy, in 30 years in Japan, where he was reluctant to see his hometown. It is said that Even now, when it became a hotel in the first century, the "restaurants of Italy" created by Miora continue to live in the hotel restaurant.
