    Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Naka-ku Sakae 3-30-8 Matsuzakaya Nagoya store South Front 10F
    This eel restaurant is located on the 10th floor of the South Building of Matsuzakaya department store in Naka Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture. The main location which registered the trademark for the “hitsumabushi” eel dish, has been around since 1873. They use specially selected high-quality eel and grill each one carefully over Kishu Bincho charcoal with their secret sauce that has been passed down over the years. The first bowl is usually eaten as-is; the second with spices; the third with tea poured over it; and the fourth however one pleases. The “unagi kaiseki” (eel banquet) is great for special gatherings.

    Good food, nice restaurant, middle of the shopping area sakae. There is afternoon break, so please check when you wanna go.

    Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Naka-ku Osu 3-6-18
    A long standing restaurant dedicated to miso katsu cutlets, a Nagoya specialty. Since Yabaton was founded in 1947, it has continued to use only select ingredients and the same favorite recipes. Yabaton uses high quality pork with a focus on pork from southern Kyushu. The restaurant’s secret miso sauce is carefully prepared with soybean miso naturally fermented for a year and a half. Yabaton also takes care to keep the frying oil from getting too heavy and causing upset stomachs. In addition to eating in, the restaurant also sells popular take-home bento box lunches and tenderloin cutlet sandwiches. Yabaton also sells merchandise featuring the restaurant’s mascot, Bu-chan.

    It is a chain and there are several restaurants in Nagoya; they propose few options with fried pork (tonkatsu) with their special miso sauce. The combo is great! I recommend the fillet and also the...

    Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Naka-ku Sakae 4-9-6
    The famous dish at Sekai-no-Yamachan is Maboroshi-no-Tebasaki, chicken wings with a taste that has not changed since its founding, and one of the popular aspects of this store is that all of the courses require three hours. Guests can relax and savor their dishes that come with a reasonable price and are very filling. The Miso Kushi Katsu and Miso Uzura (quail) Tamago Fry on the grand menu are also popular and many repeaters come back for them. It is approximately 10 minutes from Sakaemachi Station on the underground Meijo Line.

    Great fun family style restaurant. Economic prices and food full of flavor. They are famous for their chicken wings. These are a must try. Drinks were also good value. They become busy at dinnertime.

    Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Naka-ku Osu 3-6-3 Ajisen Building
    This Taiwanese restaurant in the Osu district of Naka Ward in Aichi Prefecture's Nagoya City has its honten or main branch in Imaike. The restaurant is the originator of Nagoya's famous Taiwan ramen, a tori-gara (chicken bone) soup base topped full of stir-fried ground meat, garlic chives and chili pepper, and is bustling with tourists as well as regular customers who like spicy food. Coming here with friends or as a couple, gathering around the round tables, and wiping sweat from your brow as you eat is the real charm of this place. Chicken wings covered in secret sauce is one popular menu item.

    The spicy ramen are amazing. These ramen are really really hot. So nothing for people who aren’t used to spicy food. You can of course order less spicy food, but I recommend the hot ones. Amazing...

    "Furaibo, which opened in Nagoya in 1963 (Showa 38), came up with the idea of adding sauce to chicken wings after an ordering error, and created the Nagoya specialty, tebasaki (chicken wings). The restaurant uses a secret aged sauce and has opened stores throughout Japan, but instead of franchising, it has introduced a ""goodwill sharing"" system, allowing each store to take advantage of its own unique characteristics."

    We were staying one night at the Best Western so looked for somewhere to eat nearby. I had read about Furaibo on Trip Advisor and saw it was only 50 metres from our hotel. It was hard to find...

You’ll feel like you’ve been transported into the Showa period, with gentle lighting and a calm ambience.

The rich, nel drip coffee made from an original blend has many fans as well.

    大須には用事がないので、古くから続く名店なのは知っていたが行ったことがなかった。 たまたま用事ができたので寄った。 食事をするつもりだったが予定より早く着いたので、テイクアウトすることにして、エビフライサンドとコーヒーを注文。 コーヒーはすぐに来たが、よその店よりひと回りくらい小さなカップで驚いた。 昔からこのカップで出していたのなら、喫茶店としては高級店だと思う。 ホットコーヒーは思ったような味...

    Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Naka-ku Nishiki 3-13-22
    Ibasho serves one of Nagoya’s famous specialties: Hitsumabushi, a dish of chopped kabayaki (slow grilled with a special sauce) eel on rice said to go all the way back to the Taisho period (1912–1926). At Ibasho, when 2 or more customers order the Hitsumabushi it comes out in one big “hitsu” dish, which is apparently the traditional way of serving it. In addition to Hitsumabushi they have other kabayaki eel dishes including rice bowls, and whole long eels. It’s located about five minutes’ walk from subway Higashiyama Line Sakae Station.

    Super traditional, super good and it doesn’t kill your wallet. I highly recommend this place. Nagoya is know for their “shitsumabushi”. This is the place to have it. If you’re in the area this...

    This is a well-known udon shop that was established in 1925, and is famous for miso nikomi udon, a dish among Nagoya’s home cooking. Using a dashi soup stock carefully prepared with bonito, shiitake mushroom, and kombu (kelp) combined with secret proportions of soy sauce, mirin, Haccho miso, and light-brown miso, the dish has a mellow taste that is very appealing. The chewy raw udon noodles made with 100% Japanese-grown wheat cooked in a Shigaraki pot is a characteristic of this dish. The menu is listed on the wall and the restaurant interior has a nostalgic ambience.

    Yamamotoya Honten specializes in the Nagoya specialty, miso-nikomi udon. This long established restaurant continues to serve these udon noodles in a way unchanged since it was first founded. The noodles, painstakingly kneaded by skilled chefs, have a distinctive chewy texture. The flavor's deciding factor is the original miso fermented for over three years with soup stock derived from carefully selected bonito. And after gently simmering the noodles in a pot, the rich flavor of the nikomi udon is finally complete. The restaurant is fresh and clean, and convenient, even for women by themselves. The nearest station is Fushimi Station.

    ちょっと私には合わなかったかな?汁が辛い、うどんが腰強すぎで噛みごたえありすぎでした。一緒に行った家族は大絶賛でした。きっと美味しいと思います。 I didn’t find it tasty. Noodles were hard and soup was salty. Anyway, my family likes it very much!!!

Aichi Areas

around-area-map

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
