Maruume

Located near Hazukashi Bridge, Maruume is a sushi spot offering neatly prepared seafood dishes in an unpretentious atmosphere. At midday, the kitchen serves a rotating lunch special. On some days, diners might find carefully crafted nigiri sushi, while on others, plump firefly squid tempura takes center stage. Accompanying bowls such as hearty tonjiru pork-and-vegetable soup round out the meals, making lunch here both comforting and thoroughly satisfying.

Evenings of Sashimi, Fried Specialties, and Sake

Dinner brings a tempting lineup of à la carte options, from fresh sashimi platters to aromatic amadai (tilefish) deep-fried in a crunchy brown rice crust, suited to pairing with sake or wine. Multi-course options arrive with refined plating, pacing out dishes that highlight the inherent qualities of the ingredients—including fried selections prepared with a light touch that never feels greasy.

Run single-handedly by the owner-chef, the compact dining space holds a serene, relaxing ambiance, making advance reservations a sensible idea for evening visits. Alongside dine-in meals, Maruume also prepares takeout and catered bento boxes, accommodating everything from casual solo lunches to shared gatherings around thoughtfully prepared fish.
