"Namazuya Marunouchi" is located an 8-minute walk from Hashima City Hall Station on the Nagoya Railroad. Set in a warm, wooden interior, the restaurant serves traditional river fish dishes made with eel and carp. The 45-year-experienced chef grills the eel using traditional methods and finishes it with a secret sauce that has been refined over time. The "unaju (Grilled eel and rice in a lacquered box)" is renowned for its exquisite balance of eel, sauce, and rice. Other impressive and hearty options include the oke-mabushi, a rice bowl containing five long grilled eels, and the hitsumabushi, a rice bowl containing so much eel that it almost spills out of the lid.

A long-established fish shop in Gifu City with an eat-in space, in operation since its founding in 1910. After generations of operating solely as a fresh fish retailer, the fourth-generation owner began serving prepared dishes in-store to share professional knowledge on selecting, preparing, and appreciating seafood. Seasonal fish is expertly prepared in full view, offering a unique experience at a specialty fish shop. Efforts also extend beyond the shop through workshops and takeout options that make it easier to enjoy fish at home. To introduce children growing up in landlocked Gifu to the appeal of seasonal seafood, tuna-cutting demonstrations featuring whole bluefin tuna are held at kindergartens and at local events such as the Dosan Festival in spring and the Gifu Nobunaga Festival in autumn.
