The story behind the bowl
Near Nagoya Station, Shishimaru is known for glossy, pale paitan and occasional Western-leaning seafood compositions. It is a modern, polished bowl rather than a local-history museum piece.
Before you go: Look at the current specials before ordering; the seafood-led bowl is often the most distinctive choice.
