Today, I’m introducing “Maruwa Shokudo,” a beloved seafood diner located along Route 134, inside the Zushi Beach Road Oasis.
Have you ever thought, “I just want to eat fresh fish right by the ocean!”? Maruwa Shokudo is the place that makes that dream come true. With a large, easy-to-use parking lot, it’s a favorite among both locals and tourists. Let’s dive into what makes this seaside spot so special!
Highlight #1: The Ultra-Satisfying “Maruwa Teishoku” Set
The signature dish here is the Maruwa Teishoku (¥2,000), a complete set featuring fried horse mackerel, two kinds of sashimi, simmered fish, side dishes, grated whitebait, rice, miso soup, and pickles. It’s a full-on seafood feast beautifully presented on a large tray. The fried aji (horse mackerel), in particular, is delightfully crispy on the outside and fluffy inside.
The fried aji was fresh from the fryer—crispy on the outside and packed with flavor inside. I couldn’t stop eating!
Highlight #2: Choose from a Wide Range of Fish Dishes
In addition to the “Maruwa Teishoku,” there’s the Hon-Maguro Boat Platter Set (with fried aji, ¥2,200), and another set that includes aji & shrimp fries plus a trio of sashimi (¥2,200). All sets are generously portioned and made with super fresh seafood. You get to enjoy fried, simmered, and raw fish all in one meal—what a treat! If you visit slightly before or after peak lunch hours, you’ll likely be seated quickly even on weekends.
Highlight #3: Surprisingly Fast Turnover
One of Maruwa Shokudo’s hidden charms is its surprisingly fast table turnover. Even during weekend peak hours, you can usually be seated quickly if you visit slightly before or after lunch rush. Thanks to the large seating capacity and efficient staff, you’ll be guided to your seat without much delay. It’s a great option for travelers who want to enjoy a satisfying seafood meal without waiting in long lines.
Highlight #4: Dine with a Sea Breeze on the Terrace
On sunny days, the terrace seats overlooking Zushi Beach are simply perfect. Enjoying a hearty seafood set while feeling the fresh ocean breeze is a treat like no other. In summer, the combination of clear skies and sea air makes your lunch feel like a mini getaway.

Highlight #5: Takeaway Options Let You Enjoy It Twice
If you can’t finish all the food, just ask the staff—they offer takeaway containers (approx. ¥20) along with a bag, making it easy to bring leftovers home. It’s super convenient for families or smaller eaters. While raw seafood should be handled at your own risk, fried items are perfect for next-day breakfast.
Baby & Child-Friendly Note
Strollers are welcome. The spacious parking lot and terrace seating make the place easy to navigate with kids. If you avoid peak hours, you’ll have plenty of room. The hearty portions are great for sharing, and the ticket machine system means you can order quickly, even with little ones in tow.
Dog-Friendly Info
Dogs are welcome on the terrace! Whether you’re out on a beach walk or just passing through, you can relax with your pup while enjoying the ocean view. Just note that pets are not allowed indoors.
