As an izakaya near Toyota City Station, we've devised various ways to stimulate the five senses to provide our customers with the best food and time.

1. Delivered Daily! Savor Freshly Caught Seafood to Your Heart's Content

The foundation of our cuisine is fresh seafood delivered daily from Hokkaido. We promise to deliver the bounty of the sea, nurtured in Hokkaido's premier fishing grounds, to you in its most delicious state.

• Savor the Fragrance of Robatayaki
  While in Toyota City, you can experience the immersive feeling of being in a Hokkaido fishing port with our robatayaki (fireside grilling). Watching fresh seafood being slowly grilled over charcoal is a feast for the eyes. The far-infrared effect results in plump, juicy seafood that's fragrant on the outside. The aroma of charcoal and the bounty of the sea that fills your mouth the moment you take a bite will stimulate your senses and whet your appetite. Please experience the joy of feasting on hot seafood in the warm atmosphere of the robata.

• Taste the True Flavor of Ingredients with Fresh Sashimi
  The seafood raised in Hokkaido's waters is firm, with a rich umami and sweetness. The simplest and most direct way to enjoy the quality of these ingredients is with sashimi. Our skilled chefs carefully prepare seasonal fish, delighting your eyes and palate with its melt-in-your-mouth texture, deep flavor that unfolds with every bite, and beautiful presentation. The seasonal seafood, which changes with the seasons, promises new discoveries and excitement with every visit.

• Fragrant Aburi Sushi with Enhanced Aroma and Umami
  Lightly searing fresh seafood adds a fragrant aroma and further enhances its umami, making aburi sushi one of our hidden gems. It's served at the perfect temperature, with a fragrant surface and a melt-in-your-mouth raw center. The aroma that wafts up the moment it enters your mouth and the harmony between the topping and the rice create a blissful taste. In particular, aburi sushi with fatty fish, where the fragrance and sweetness of the fat melt together, pairs exceptionally well with sake.

2. Signature Dishes Everyone Raves About: Tsufu Nabe and Ikura Mori

When talking about Dounan Nourin Suisanbu Toyota, we can't forget our signature dishes that have captivated many customers with their impact and deliciousness. The Tsufu Nabe (Gout Hot Pot) and Ikura Mori (Heaping Salmon Roe) in particular are our star menu items that you won't forget once you've tried them. If you're looking for a new seafood izakaya experience in Toyota City, you can't miss these.

• The Ultimate Indulgence, Tsufu Nabe
  Some people can't help but smile when they hear the name Tsufu Nabe. This hot pot, generously filled with luxurious seafood like crab, monkfish liver (ankimo), and cod milt (shirako), is a true reward dish with a concentrated, rich umami flavor. The unique flavors and textures of each ingredient harmonize beautifully in one pot, creating a deep and rich taste. It's perfect for warming you up from the inside out during the cold season and is sure to liven up conversation with friends. Please experience this addictive deliciousness that will have you coming back for more.

• The Ikura Mori, Combining Lavishness and Flavor
  The Ikura Mori, where large, glistening salmon roe are generously piled high right before your eyes, is nothing short of spectacular. The sight of the salmon roe overflowing from the plate is incredibly photogenic and elicits cheers from around the restaurant every time it's served. The rich umami that bursts from each roe as it pops in your mouth, combined with just the right amount of saltiness, makes both rice and sake go down easy. When you order the ikura bowl, a taiko drum beat echoes through the restaurant, adding to the festive atmosphere—another unique way to enjoy Dounan Nourin Suisanbu Toyota.

3. Evoking Surprise and Smiles! A Variety of Unique Presentations

What Dounan Nourin Suisanbu Toyota offers is not just delicious food. We believe it's also our important mission to create memorable experiences that stimulate our customers' five senses. We have incorporated various unique and elaborate tricks to make your dining time more enjoyable and special.

• Boiled in a Kettle! Heartwarming Clam Sakamushi
  What do you imagine when you hear clam sakamushi (sake-steamed clams)? At our restaurant, it's served in a kettle! Steam rises from the kettle brought to your table, and the rich aroma of the clams wafts through the air. This somewhat nostalgic and heartwarming presentation, like drinking warm miso soup at home, will put your mind at ease. The hot clams and the broth infused with their umami are especially exceptional on a cold day.

• Arriving with the Sound of a Charumera! Nostalgic Ramen
  The perfect way to end a night of drinking is, of course, ramen. At our restaurant, we don't just serve ramen; we deliver a surprise. The ramen, brought to your table with the music of a charumera, comes in a container reminiscent of old-fashioned motorcycle deliveries. The sound of the charumera that plays the moment you open the lid is sure to bring a smile to your face. This playful presentation provides a fun end to your meal.

• Ikura Bowl with the Beat of a Taiko! A Lively Atmosphere
  As mentioned earlier, when you order the Ikura Mori, the spirited sound of a taiko drum reverberates through the restaurant. This lively presentation, reminiscent of a tuna carving show, heightens customer anticipation to the max. Our staff also energizes the crowd during the piling of the roe, creating a fun, unified atmosphere. For those who want to enjoy not just the food but also the overall energy and fun of the place, we highly recommend experiencing this presentation.
