Atsuta Houraiken Matsuzakaya Branch

It was my first time in Nagoya, and everyone said that the eel rice in this restaurant was a must-try. This time I arrived just before the last order, so I was able to dine without waiting in line. Although the price was a bit expensive, it was always a must to try the delicious food that everyone talked about when I first arrived in Nagoya.

I often heard people talk about the three ways to eat eel before, and I found it nearby. And since I love eel so much, of course I had to go there. It tasted very delicious, the fish meat was fat, tender and fragrant, but the seasoning seemed a bit heavy.

Horaiken (Matsuzakaya Nagoya Branch) is a must-eat restaurant in Nagoya. It is very famous for its three eel dishes. The portions are generous. The grilled eel with special dipping sauce tastes very good. The service is very enthusiastic and the environment is good.

Nagoya's Horaiken Unagi Rice is a pilgrimage site for many tourists. When we went to Horaiken, it was actually past mealtime, so we didn't have to wait for a long time before a waiter came to take us to our seats. We ordered the Unagi Rice Three-course Set Meal, which is about 200 yuan in RMB, which is not cheap. The so-called Unagi Rice Three-course Set Meal is the original flavor for the first time, the second with mustard and kelp, and the third with soup. Although the waiters don't speak English, they have Chinese and English instructions for tourists to see.

I tried the eel rice ordered by my friend. It was rich and delicious. It's worth trying. I also ordered tempura, which was pretty good. At noon, it's not a weekend. The queue is more than 20 minutes. Many of them are Japanese. It can be seen that it has a good reputation locally. The service is also good, and the waiter is also very beautiful. It supports UnionPay cards, and there are Chinese instructions for the eel rice.

The famous local eel rice bowl, one fish three ways to eat, the first taste is to taste the original flavor of the eel, the second taste is to mix the eel with seasonings, and the third is to pour tea into the rice and eat the vegetables. This chain store has a good location, upstairs in the south building of Matsuzakaya Department Store, and there is a long queue at meal times. The rice tastes good, but I prefer light taste, and it tastes a bit salty. There are other rice dishes to order, such as tempura set meal.

The locals are waiting in line for a table. The eel rice set is the signature dish of the store. There are three ways to eat it: 1. Taste the eel alone. Put the eel and the rice soaked in sauce into a bowl together, and eat with mustard, chives, and shredded seaweed. 3. Soak the eel rice in tea, which is similar to the seafood soup rice in the southern coastal areas. The staff will provide a text guide on the table for specific eating methods. It is a conscientious store. It satisfies the taste of tenderness but not greasy, and the taste is just right, similar to teriyaki. The soup of the set is exquisite and comes with bean curd with the thorn logo.

Another famous eel rice three-way restaurant in Nagoya is called Maruya, with a logo like a "circle". The main store is on the 9th floor of the main building of Meitetsu Department Store. No matter which of these two restaurants you choose, you have to queue during dinner time. The author arrived at around 5 o'clock and waited for about 10 minutes. When he came out, there was already a long queue. In addition to tourists, there were also many locals coming to eat.
