Choosing a meal in Toyama

Masu sushi is pressed trout sushi, not individual hand-shaped pieces. Toyama Bay white shrimp is another local draw, but restaurants prepare and offer it in different ways, so check the dish rather than just the ingredient name.

Tips for choosing a restaurant

If you want to take masu sushi with you, look for takeaway options; if you’d rather sit down, check that the shop serves meals on-site. The dish alone doesn’t tell you the type of place.
