Shintaku, 鮨 登喜和, Tokiwa, and 料亭 能登新 may be relevant comparisons for diners choosing among named venues; compare menus, service styles, locations, price tiers directly when deciding.
The practical consideration is timing. Edo Sho’s hours are 11 AM–2 PM, closed Thursday, so it is best treated as a planned Murakami stop rather than a flexible evening option.

Restaurant context
Among Murakami's limited hot-pot options, this venue holds the only Tabelog Hot Pot 100 designation in the prefecture, which creates a clear hierarchy if sukiyaki or shabu-shabu is your format. Shintaku offers Japanese cuisine in a broader sense but no beef-focused hot pot, while å²ç¹ æ°å¤ä¹ and 料亭 能登新 lean toward kaiseki and regional fish. If you're comparing on price, this restaurant sits in the mid-tier (JPY 3,000–3,999 lunch), below the kaiseki specialists but above casual izakaya. For booking ease, all are manageable with advance notice, but the lunch-only window here demands tighter planning than the dinner-friendly peers.
鮨 登喜和 competes on quality but not format, sushi versus hot pot, so cross-shopping depends on whether your meal is built around beef or fish. Tokiwa sits further outside the metro but offers a different ambient profile. If your group includes hot-pot skeptics, the broader menus at Shintaku or 能登新 reduce friction, but neither delivers the same beef-centric depth. For travelers routing through Niigata Prefecture with a hot-pot mandate, this is the stop; for flexible diners, weigh the lunch-only constraint against kaiseki alternatives with evening availability.
