Tucked into the heart of Toyama City’s Sogawa district, Onyado Nono Toyama is not just a hotel—it’s a portal to a quieter, more traditional side of Japanese hospitality. And while its tatami-lined halls, natural hot spring baths, and serene design are highlights for many visitors, one of the true standouts here is the breakfast buffet. For tourists looking to dive straight into Toyama’s regional flavors from the moment they wake up, this morning meal alone is worth the stay.

The breakfast at Nono is held in a relaxed dining area that feels more like a local inn than a city hotel. Everything is beautifully presented, and it’s clear that the menu was curated with care, balancing Japanese tradition with just enough Western comfort for international travelers. But make no mistake—this is a breakfast made for adventurous eaters and lovers of local cuisine.

At the center of the buffet is the “goukai mori” seafood station. Here, you can assemble your own kaisen-don, a bowl of rice topped with layers of Toyama’s famous fresh seafood. Expect bright orange pearls of ikura (salmon roe), delicate slices of squid, sweet shrimp, and seasonal white fish. There are soy sauce options and condiments on the side, so every guest can personalize their bowl. For many, it’s a unique experience to enjoy such high-quality sashimi in a hotel buffet setting—and in the morning, no less.

In addition to the seafood bar, there’s a thoughtful spread of small dishes rooted in Toyama's food culture. You’ll find side items like kombu-wrapped kamaboko (fish cakes), simmered vegetables, miso soup, local pickles, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), and grilled fish, which varies daily. There are also hot Japanese staples such as rice, curry, and stewed dishes. Even the tofu served here is delicate, rich, and fresh—often with toppings like grated ginger or green onions available.

For those who prefer something closer to a Western-style breakfast, you won’t be left out. There are soft rolls, scrambled eggs, sausage, and freshly brewed coffee and juice. But most guests—even Western travelers—tend to gravitate toward the Japanese dishes, partly because they’re simply more flavorful and partly because it feels like a truly immersive cultural experience.

One charming detail is how the meal reflects both comfort and luxury. Nothing is overly fussy or showy, but everything is high quality—carefully seasoned, replenished frequently, and served with care. Even travelers who say they “don’t usually eat much breakfast” often find themselves going back for seconds, or lingering with a cup of tea long after they’ve finished eating.

For tourists coming to Toyama, staying at Nono means waking up to a breakfast that doesn’t just fill you up—it introduces you to the flavors of the region. It’s a calm, nourishing start to a day of sightseeing, and one of the most memorable meals you’ll have in the city. Whether you’re heading to the mountains, museums, or canal walks, this breakfast prepares you in the best way possible: with satisfaction and local soul. ‪@TastyWaterOM‬
