Located in the Taiko-dori Exit Umaimon Street inside the station, the Maruya Honten is a renowned restaurant for the famous dish Hitsumabushi allowing you to savor the charm of eel in three different ways until the final ochazuke (rice with green tea). The secret sauce based on tamari soy sauce has been replenished with traditional methods for 180 years since the late Edo period. The carefully selected eel and rice are accompanied by electrolyzed water to remove any unwanted odor from the eel, and the tea is an original deep-steamed tea. The eel is grilled to perfection, with the excess fat removed to ensure a non-fishy taste in the ochazuke. Takeout options are also available. In a serene and sophisticated Japanese modern atmosphere, you can enjoy the abundant flavors unique to Nagoya.

The key to the flavor is the secret sauce based on the traditional tamari sauce, replenished for 180 years in a cedar vat for six generations.

As for the tea, it is meticulously selected deep-steamed tea from a specialized tea garden, showcasing thorough dedication and attention to detail in every aspect, not just the Unagi.

When our chef came back to Japan, we tested a wide variety of local chicken breeds. We found that Fukushima's Date chicken offered the finest flavor-and that free-range poultry boasted the highest-quality meat.

We do every little thing ourselves at our restaurant, right up to igniting the pilot lights on our stoves and preparing and refilling the dipping sauces.
