Marusanya Tsuruga Station Front

“Marusanya Tsuruga Station Front” is a locally loved seafood restaurant. It’s in a great location-just a 5-minute walk from Tsuruga Station-so it’s also recommended for a meal between sightseeing stops. Skilled chefs bring out even more flavor from top-quality, ultra-fresh ingredients you’d expect from a fish wholesaler, creating truly outstanding dishes. In addition to sashimi, the menu includes Fukui specialties like hamayaki saba (grilled mackerel), Echizen soba, heshiko-yaki, and sauce katsu-don.
