Pick Up Chikuwa from the Long-Established Local Specialty Shop and Enjoy it as a Snack

About this spot

The main store of an established restaurant famous for Toyohashi's signature chikuwa (fish cake). The storefront displays a tempting array of freshly grilled chikuwa and seasonal seafood products, and choosing which ones to buy is a delightful experience in itself. The freshly made chikuwa is packed with the rich flavor of fish, and munching on it right there as a snack will bring smiles to the children's faces. End your full day by selecting Toyohashi's signature flavor as a souvenir to take home for the whole family.

Tips

Most chikuwa products for souvenirs require refrigeration, so if you'll be carrying them around for a while, a cooler bag is helpful. While chikuwa can be purchased at Toyohashi Station's shops, the main store offers a unique selection and authentic charm. Evening hours may have sold-out items, so if you have a specific item in mind, arrive early.
