Maruya Honten Nagoya Station Branch

Haruki: It’s been a long time since you came to Maruya. Me: Don’t I come every week? Haruki: I mean - other than taking the cake to the store to be cut, or buying Yunnan pickles in a group and making an appointment to share the spoils in the store. Me: It doesn’t have to be so harsh. Haruki: We are going to serve new dishes, you know, come and try them. Me: Got it, I’m missing Instagram promotional photos. I bring my own camera, take photos and retouch them myself, and pay for them myself. Haruki: It doesn’t have to be so unpleasant. Eat new dishes! ! Enomoto: This is the soft and glutinous cheek meat, this is the beef tongue that has been matured for thirty days, this is the small chicken drumstick that is used to make up for the meal, and this is the soup stock on top, this is broad beans, potatoes, onions, carrots, kohlrabi, zucchini, broccoli… Me: I don’t know how big a game you gave me. Haruki: Meat won’t even close your mouth. Eat the boiled vegetables you want. The boiled vegetables are delicious, with the taste of fresh and sweet clear soup. Kohlrabi, fragrant and fragrant. Sweet onions, fragrant and fragrant. Zucchini, fragrant. I ate this plate of spring. The cheek meat is soft and waxy, full of gelatin, and it feels like eating a big mouthful of meat. Beef tongue is neither soft nor crispy. It has a very elastic texture after cooking, which is valuable! A few chicken drumsticks. Haruki: How about it. Me: Don’t put this, the price will drop. Chunshu rubbed his hands: What do you think is the appropriate price? Me: I’m willing to give you 3,500 yen. Haruki: Then! So expensive! ! Hey Enomoto, did you hear that? She is willing to give 3500! Enomoto: Then! So expensive! ! After that, we will charge her 3,500! Me: ...You two are so worthless. I also want broad bean pasta, 40g. The broad bean pasta is as good as ever. Roasted broad beans, whitebait, and cherry tomatoes. In spring, there are bamboo shoots, fluorescent squid, and mullet roe. It's moist, refreshing, seasonal pasta that I took time to think about. The most valuable thing about Haruki (or chef) is his willingness to think. Haruki: I heard that you recommend spicy stir-fried eggplant pasta to others every day, which made me fry the eggplant until my hand broke, so I ended up eating boiled vegetables and broad bean pasta. Me: ...That’s different. If I have a meal once in a while, I choose roast beef with eggplant pasta and tiramisu. Who eats this every day?

Maruya Main Store (Meitetsu Store), go in and find out The three ways of eating eel that you must try in Nagoya. I originally wanted to go to the popular Horaiken, but I chose this one because it was too troublesome. It is right next to Nagoya Station and ranked first on TripAdvisor. I waited for an hour, but it was worth it! ​

When it comes to the three ways to eat eel, it comes with a wooden basin, which contains eel on rice, and a bowl with chopped green onions and other ingredients. It feels like eating more than just eel, but also a full sense of ritual. Personally, I like the second one the most for its rich taste.

This restaurant is located on the 9th floor of Meitetsu Department Store next to Nagoya Station. Because of its good location, you should be prepared to wait in line before dining. The eels used in this restaurant are directly delivered from the designated breeding site by the store while the eels are still fresh. In addition, the exquisite skills of the eel craftsmen make the eels extremely fresh. In order to let customers fully enjoy the various flavors of eels, the store has also carefully developed three ways to eat eel rice: original eel rice, scallion mustard eel rice, and tea eel rice. It is worth a visit even if you have to wait! WeChat payment is also supported!

The eel rice in Nagoya is definitely worth a try. The most famous one is of course Horaiken, but I want to recommend this eel rice specialty store which is second to both TA and DP. Although there will be many tourists queuing for this store, the good thing is that it is located on the upper floor of Meitetsu Department Store next to Nagoya Station. You can buy it and get on the train after eating. This is not the key point. The key point is that they can take it out. Imagine eating three bento boxes with eel rice and taking the Shinkansen to Kyoto... By the way, don't miss their eel tamagoyaki.

The environment is elegant and clean, the eel is very soft and delicious, the dishes are very tempting, and the waiter's attitude is very good👍.

Eel rice can be eaten in three ways. The eel is just the right thickness, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious, and the rice is also chewy. I like the second way of eating it with seasoning the most... It's too much to have to queue up from 5pm onwards. It's too popular.
