Maruya Honten

Located on the 4th floor of Chubu Centrair International Airport, Maruya Honten invites you to experience the exquisite flavors of its signature Hitsumabushi. This beloved eel and rice dish is prepared with a traditional sauce that has been lovingly replenished for over 180 years, passed down through six generations in cedar vats.

Only the finest, carefully selected eels are used, ensuring unmatched quality and freshness. The chefs at Maruya are true specialists, focusing not just on the eel but on every ingredient—perfectly cooked rice, rich tamari-based soy sauce, and pure, carefully chosen water—to deliver a safe, flavorful dining experience.

Even the pickles served alongside your meal are made by artisans, free from machine processing, and the tea is a deep-steamed specialty from a dedicated tea garden, chosen to complement the dish perfectly. This meticulous attention to detail ensures every bite is an unforgettable journey of flavor.

Maruya’s Hitsumabushi isn’t just delicious; it’s also nutritious. Eel is known for its cholesterol-lowering properties and ability to combat fatigue—making it the perfect meal for travelers and food lovers alike.
