Suzuya
Enjoy the special Nagoya-style Tonkatsu (deep-fried pork cutlet), served with “Miso-Katsu”, a sweet-and-savoury miso-based sauce made from dried bonito stock, sugar and other moorish ingredients

Unafuji
This renowned Unagi (grilled eel) spot in Nagoya is so popular with domestic tourists, expect to queue 1-2 hours during peak hours. Renowned for their "Hitsumabushi", which is crispy on the outside yet fluffy on the inside

Unaharu
A lesser well-known "Hitsumabushi" (grilled eel) option compared to the above, but just as good! This is the perfect alternative if you don't have the patience to queue for your meal
