Choosing a meal in Nagoya
Nagoya’s dishes do not all lead to the same sort of meal. Hitsumabushi lets you eat grilled eel and rice in stages with condiments and broth; miso katsu is a pork cutlet with a rich miso sauce. Tebasaki wings suit a shared evening meal. Pick the format that fits your appetite and time.
