The secret behind the deliciousness of Toyohashi's specialty "Yamasa Chikuwa"
◆We spare no effort or time to create delicious flavors.
Fish plays an important role in determining the flavor of fish paste products such as chikuwa. Fresh fish is filleted at the factory and processed into paste.
The raw materials are cut and processed into paste, then kneaded in a stone mill, and the resulting viscosity is used to form the product into a shape and heat it. The degree of doneness is also an important factor in determining the flavor.
The flavor is determined by the skills of artisans with many years of training and experience, including adjustments to suit the weather at the time.
Genuine flavor comes from obtaining fresh ingredients and following a proper process, in other words, from our commitment to the ingredients.

In addition to chikuwa, you can also enjoy oden made with a unique blend of dashi, seasonal fish, and local specialties of Higashi Mikawa. We also stock a wide range of sake and shochu from Aichi Prefecture and across the country.
The most popular menu item is the "nigiri chikuwa."
◆A must-try◆ Grill your own "nigiri chikuwa"
The "Nigiri Chikuwa" is a must-try dish, where you can grill your own chikuwa using the charcoal grill that is brought to your table. You can grill it yourself and eat it hot and fresh. The fresh raw minced fish is served wrapped in bamboo. First, grill it over the charcoal. Even if you are a foreign visitor, you can rest assured that the staff will carefully explain how to grill it.
◆Rotate while cooking
The trick is to turn it around so that it gets nicely browned, and when it begins to rise, poke it with a skewer to remove the air. The aroma of grilled fish wafting around the stove will whet your appetite.
◆Enjoy the texture and flavor of freshly baked bread.
Even locals in Toyohashi rarely have access to freshly grilled chikuwa, so try eating it while it's still on the skewer. The soft elasticity and fragrant aroma will fill your mouth.
Sashimi is also recommended!
