,?,,.In the Kanto region, unagi (eel) rice is usually steamed first and then grilled. Because of the steaming process, the eel tends to be smaller and softer in texture, whereas in Nagoya, the eel is grilled directly, resulting in larger portions and a heartier, slightly tougher bite.

The reason why “Unagi” is so popular is because the owner uses a special grilling method, giving the texture a balance between the two extremes. The eel is grilled over charcoal, resulting in a crispy outside and tender inside. Not only can you taste the sweet richness of the fish, but when paired with the owner’s specially made sauce that strikes the perfect balance between sweet and salty, it’s truly delicious.

There was once a customer who waited in line for 30 minutes in the scorching heat just to have eel rice, ended up getting heatstroke, and then came back to queue a second time before finally getting to eat it.

And Nagoya’s hitsumabushi (eel rice served three ways) is famous throughout Japan. For the first way, try a bite of the freshly grilled eel in its pure form to savor the perfect balance among the eel, sauce, and white rice. Then for the second bite, add scallions, wasabi, and seaweed to explore layered flavors. Finally, pour dashi broth over it to make it into ochazuke (rice with tea), where the warm soup comforts both stomach and heart. It’s highly recommended to try this dish to experience its clever variations.

In line with its name, "Sorachi" has specially developed Japan’s only fava bean tofu. The fava beans are ground and mixed with milk and cream to make it. Although it is called tofu, its texture resembles cheese, making it a uniquely distinctive original dish.

After introducing many Nagoya delicacies, I’d like to personally recommend virdweac, a recently very popular Instagram-worthy spot in Nagoya.

To make this dish more well-known, the owner has put in a lot of effort, including collaborating with 25 other establishments for promotion, and also participating in the local edition of the Nagoya Specialty Food Vote, all in an effort to further promote Nagoya cuisine. Isn’t that touching?(／)" width="600" height="450"/>
