Toyama Pref. Toyamashi Marunouchi 1-2-6

This trout sushi specialty shop a two-minute walk from Toyama Chihou Railway Kencho-mae or Marunouchi stations is obsessed with creating trout sushi with a rich, fully-bodied flavor.

This is combined with rice grown in Toyama Prefecture, which is pressed slightly stronger than usual to give the sushi a resilient texture. In addition to traditional trout sushi, the shop also offers extra-special trout sushi with even thicker cuts of trout, as well as trout sushi that can substitute for a wedding cake.

Toyama Pref. Toyamashi Otaguchidori 1-1-7

"This ramen shop which opened in 1947 is the originator of Toyama black ramen, Toyama's first ""B-class gourmet."" The shop, located a one-minute walk from Toyama City Tram Line Grand Plaza Station, is frequented by celebrities. Its main item, chuka soba (ramen noodles), is notable for its dark black soup, roast pork, and coarse-ground pepper. The richly-flavored broth packs a punch that borders on briny. Diners who cannot handle the saltiness can eat the ramen with a side of white rice to adjust the flavor. Beloved by laborers in Toyama since right after the end of World War II, Toyama black ramen has been thought of as a soul food for generations of Toyama citizens."
