Marunaka is a cozy izakaya on the first floor that serves classic dishes like sashimi platters alongside modern twists on local favorites, such as the regional soul food “Ebi Dango” (shrimp balls) and the chef’s original “Tomato Mapo Tofu.” The friendly owner speaks English, making it easy to ask for recommendations or ask for just the thing you’re craving. Complimentary side dishes for overseas guests add to the welcoming atmosphere.
