Maruya Honten Ginza Glasse

Maruya Honten Ginza Glasse opened in Tokyo’s Ginza district in 2024 as a branch of Maruya Honten, an eel restaurant founded in Nagoya. The signature dish is hitsumabushi, a Nagoya specialty of grilled eel over rice, featuring carefully selected eel grilled by skilled chefs until fragrant.

The eel here doesn’t just have a strong sauce flavor—you can also taste the aroma from the charcoal grilling. It goes really well with the distinct grains of Japanese rice. I especially liked adding dashi at the end. It was light and easy to eat, giving the whole meal a very pleasant finish.

I love the old-fashioned riverside vibe here. The little bridges, flowing water, and willow trees make it feel so poetic!
