When you come to Japan, you must eat Japanese beef. Among Japanese beef, Takayama Hida beef is one of the types that I think is very delicious. I have eaten it twice in Takayama and was deeply impressed. Eating beef in Japan is very cost-effective.
It's a private restaurant, the staff is very professional, and most importantly, the beef is delicious! It melted in my mouth and I didn't even notice it. Beef isn't cheap, but it's definitely worth it. Whenever you eat here, you must choose Hida beef, it is the most delicious.

I came to Nagoya for Ghibli Park, but unfortunately I couldn't buy the tickets even though I bought them a long time in advance, so I rewarded myself with a good meal to comfort my wounded heart!
The receptionist was so handsome, like the male lead in a Japanese drama! I was not impressed when the set meal was served, but when I took the first bite, my taste buds started dancing. The idea of eating three times is very Japanese, and the tea rice at the end is really friendly to the stomach. I like it and give it a thumbs up!
I went to have dinner,
the taste was amazing!
The service was very good,
you had to take off your shoes when entering,
there was a dry landscape in the store,
a very beautiful environment.
I ordered the eel rice set,
the eel bones served first were delicious,
then the eel rice served four ways,
both brewing tea and adding ingredients were done in steps,
and finally you could choose your favorite way to eat it.
It was tasty as a whole,
highly recommended!

I waited in line for an hour before I was seated. Fortunately, the store is in a department store and there is a comfortable waiting area to rest, so it is not too tiring. The grilled eel here has a crispy texture, and with different ways of eating, I don't think it will make you feel sick. It is delicious.
The cake made in Harbs is not frozen at all, so you can enjoy the fresh taste at any time. The exquisite dessert made by fully utilizing the flavor of the ingredients is of course delicious!

It's no exaggeration to say that if you're looking for ramen in Nagoya Station, this is the place to go.
The prices are rising every year, but I guess that's unavoidable in order to maintain the quality.
This time, I ordered the appetizer platter, wagyu beef ramen, and porcini mushroom soy sauce ramen.
Everything was delicious, and I felt satisfied, just like after eating a course meal at a restaurant.😊
A very good ramen restaurant, the noodles are chewy and smooth, the dishes taste good, I will come again!

Verified user reviews
reminiscence, but it lacks a star (I personally give it two stars 👍) Japanese-French fusion restaurant. As soon as I walked in, it reminded me of passage 53 in Paris, with very modern and simple decoration. The same young Japanese chef made innovative Japanese-French fusion cuisine. The same handsome waiter, polite and just the right service. The ingredients, wine and utensils are very suitable. One of the puffer fish milt dishes was the most standard. Limited by my writing skills, I still have ⬆️ pictures. Enjoy it yourself.
Reminiscence is a very upscale local restaurant. It specializes in creative dishes and uses only top-quality ingredients. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

Once we were seated, our food was served in no time. This is easily one of the best restaurants (if not the best) and the unagi and grilled eel were the best we have ever had. The fact that the restaurant is not centrally located and only serves eel and nothing else, and still had a queue, even in the cold and rainy weather, speaks volumes about how good this restaurant is.
Unafuji is a high-end seafood restaurant in Nagoya. The seafood here is made of the freshest ingredients and has been selected into the list of selected restaurants by Ctrip Gourmet in 2019.

7 must-try spots I discovered in Nagoya! So delicious!
🍱"Tanya Unafuji" is a famous eel restaurant, featuring the classic "Three Ways to Eat Eel." We recommend the classic "Hitsumabush" (eel three ways). The meat is juicy and tender, and comes with Chinese instructions for three different ways to enjoy it.
1⃣ Eat the eel rice plain.
2⃣ Add green onions and wasabi to enjoy.
3⃣ Pour in broth for a bowl of eel chazuke.
🕰11:00 AM - 9:00 PM
💰Around ¥260 per person
☕"Kato Coffee Shop" is Haruki Murakami's favorite cafe.
The Nagoya set meal includes a free brew, toast, and egg butter. For less than ¥30, you'll be satisfied with the meal for ¥550.

🥩"Bakuro Ichidai" is a 100-famous restaurant. Enjoy authentic Hida beef. It can be a bit greasy when you eat too much, but it's perfect with green tea or sake. The rice portions are quite generous.

🍧"Osu Shopping Street" is a sweet shop called "Liong Confectionery"!!
The lemonade, fennel, and ginger ale, ginger ale, are both refreshing and delicious.

This place is not fancy, it's quite simple but there were a lot of people waiting in line. I waited in line and found that it didn't take long to be served. The waiter handed us menus while we waited, and then he came to take the order. A few minutes later, I was seated. A few minutes later, the food came. To be honest, I just pointed at the pictures on the menu (not ordering directly) because the menu was all in Japanese. Thank goodness they put the pictures up. The food was delicious. Even though the restaurant was busy, the service was still great. I didn't feel ignored, and I recommend any Yabaton store nearby :)
A chain of fried pork cutlet restaurants in Nagoya, fried pork is one of the specialties of Nagoya. There are waiters who can speak Chinese in the store, and they explained the difference between the dishes in detail, because when I looked at the menu, it looked like they were all fried pork cutlets. The main difference was the breed of pigs. The fried pork cutlet was very fragrant. One set meal was already covered with sauce, and the other set meal was without sauce but with two different sauces. Rice can be added for free, and there are four kinds of rice to choose from.

Located in Esca underground street, the dining environment is comfortable and detailed Chinese and English menus are also provided. The eel is freshly grilled and cooked, with the aroma of charcoal grilling and the sweet and crispy taste. It is really delicious when paired with white rice.
The eel was grilled well, but the sauce was a little lacking. The tofu tasted a bit like pudding, tender and smooth, and paired with the sauce, it was very delicious.

This is a Japanese-style izakaya. The environment here is very good and full of Japanese style. As for food, chicken wings are the first choice. The dumplings are also good and are definitely worth a try. Add beer and it was a very pleasant night.
Here you can enjoy the restaurant environment and the traditional style of Nagoya chicken wings. The chicken wings are very delicious and can be paired with Japanese beer. The price is also reasonable, the overall service is good and it is very relaxing
