In Nagoya for a week. Must eat?

BrotherWu · 10-25-2009, 03:01 PM

Went to Fushimi last night for some Tebasaki. Good stuff.

Last time I was in Japan was about 10 years ago for a couple of trips to Tokyo where we were lead around the whole time. Thought I would ask some locals/foodies for some ideas.

I'm good with pretty much anything and I want to make the most of any spare time I get in the evenings.

Thanks!

I've always wanted to try Nagoya-style Misokatsu.. Basically just tonkatsu with a miso-based sauce. I heard that's pretty good.

Some of my friends swear by the Nagoya-style eel, too. I'm not a big fan of eel so I can't recommend it based on personal experience, but it's certainly unique.

The most distinctive food that I know of from Nagoya is ankake supa. It's a noodle dish with a thick sauce and a strong flavor.

Young Japanese girls, you can find them at schools and playgrounds.
That is my suggestion.

Hacchou Miso. It is a red miso and is more sour than other miso. I suggest getting some Udon of this variety.

The eel isn't bad, but it is not so much the way it is prepared as the way it is eaten.

Im surprised that no asshat has popped in with "POCKEY!!POCKEY!!POCKEY!!"

I wish I could help you with that region. Hit me up if you ever end up in Okinawa, I lived there for a couple of years
