Stretching from mountains to coastlines, Chūbu offers a rich variety of regional eats — from Nagoya’s bold miso dishes and hitsumabushi to Toyama’s fresh seafood and Niigata’s premium rice. A perfect blend of tradition and flavor.
In August 2020, I discovered 川出ラーメン店 in Kuwana City, known for its signature “でーかわラーメン,” featuring rich pork broth and premium nori from a century-old seaweed producer. The atmosphere is cozy, and the efficient service enhances the experience. This ramen shop is a must-visit, especially after dark.
During a trip to Shizuoka, I tried Sawayaka’s Genkotsu Hamburger, experiencing its unique texture, balanced flavor, and entertaining live cutting, despite a long wait for lunch. Would return!
