A classic Nagoya restaurant inside JR Nagoya Station, famous for its perfectly grilled eel served hitsumabushi-style with rice and condiments.
MK Guide Recommends
Maruya Honten is one of Nagoya’s most popular spots for hitsumabushi, the city’s signature grilled eel dish. Conveniently located inside JR Nagoya Station’s Umaimon-dori dining area, the restaurant offers travelers an authentic taste of Nagoya’s culinary heritage without leaving the station. The eel is carefully grilled over charcoal, then coated with a rich, sweet-savory tare sauce before being served on rice in traditional wooden bowls. Guests can enjoy the dish three ways—plain, with condiments, or as ochazuke with broth—each revealing a different flavor layer. With its polished service and timeless taste, Maruya Honten captures the essence of Nagoya cuisine in one iconic bowl.
