[2025 Nagoya Restaurant] Travel Guide for Atsuta Horaiken Jingu Minamimonten (Updated Jul)

#September2024 This time, we recommend the Atsuta Horaiken Jingu branch in Nagoya. 💞Recommended reasons: Famous for its classic unagi rice, this restaurant is a foodie destination for locals and tourists alike. The restaurant is located near Atsuta Shrine. The environment is elegant and makes people feel the strong Japanese cultural atmosphere. 🫶🏻🫶🏻 The moment the lid is opened, the aroma of eel rice hits you! Not only is the rice topped with eel, but minced eel meat is also sandwiched between the rice grains, allowing one to enjoy the multi-layered deliciousness of eel in just one bowl. 😻👅 The photo shows the "legendary" "three ways to eat eel rice". Next, I will briefly introduce the official recommended way of eating it. 😻The first way to eat it: first put a quarter of the eel rice in the box into a bowl and taste the original flavor of the store's special eel. The crispy surface, plump meat, and sweet and salty sauce made me eat one bite after another, and the rice was quickly finished. 😋👅 😋The second way to eat it: sprinkle some chopped green onions, shredded seaweed or mustard on the eel rice. This way it tastes refreshing and not greasy, and the flavor of the eel is more charming. 👅The third way to eat it: After adding chopped green onions, shredded seaweed and mustard, pour in the broth to make it into soup rice. This way of eating will not make you feel too greasy even if you have already eaten two bowls, and the light taste makes you feel comfortable. Before the meal ends, the remaining eel rice can be adjusted according to personal taste to create your own 🤩 fourth way of eating to end the meal. The portion size of the set meal is quite generous, so you can still feel very satisfied even if you come on an empty stomach. 💯 All in all, the unagi rice at Atsuta Horaiken Jingu is not only delicious, but can also be enjoyed in a variety of ways, making it a gourmet experience not to be missed! 🔥🔥🔥 #Check-in #100 ways to travel #Nagoya #Eel rice #Three ways to eat eel rice #Horai-ken #Atsuta Shrine

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Restaurant: Penglaixuan Jingu Branch Meal: Eel rice three ways to eat it Hitsumabushi Price: 4600 yen I went there alone and was seated at the bar, where I could see the people in the kitchen preparing the food. This kind of transparent kitchen will make people feel particularly reassured. The eel rice three ways of eating at Penglaixuan is a registered product. There are three ways to eat it: (1) eat it plain; (2) eat it with side dishes; (3) add broth (the small red bottle) to make it into soup with rice. The waiter also asked me if I wanted a regular size or an extra large one, but a normal portion was already very large, with rice underneath the eel in the large bowl, and the amount of carbohydrates exceeded my normal two meals. The Nagoya-style eel is grilled until it is relatively dry, with a slightly burnt and crispy texture on the surface, not soggy, and very delicious~ There was a lot of eel, and the rice underneath was mixed with eel meat scraps and sauce. It wasn't just the eel sauce that seeped down, so the whole rice was very flavorful. But there was so much rice that I only finished the eel, leaving about half of the rice. When I ordered, the waiter asked me if I wanted a regular size or a larger size....... Personally, I think the most delicious flavor should be tea rice, which is less salty, but the eel skin loses its crispy texture after being soaked, so you can't have both. The total amount of the meal should be enough for two girls, and at most one or two other dishes can be added. If the regular one is not enough, the large version will definitely be enough, but I don’t know if I can order it this way. Of course I was super full after eating it all by myself.

If you go to Nagoya, you must visit Atsuta Horaiken. It is a famous restaurant for hitsumabushi, and it is very delicious. The Matsuzakaya branch is easy to get to, and it takes about 20 minutes by bus from Nagoya Station, but depending on the time of day, the wait can be so long that I have waited up to 3 hours. This time I visited the Jingu branch, which distributes numbered tickets, so I went to the store when the time came, so it was nice not to wait in front of the store. I went when it opened in the morning, but I was able to enter the store before noon. In addition, it is located in front of Atsuta Shrine, so you can do sightseeing at Atsuta Shrine while you wait, which is recommended. No matter how many times you eat hitsumabushi, it is recommended because it is an impressive taste. #Sakura2024 #AtsutaHoraiken

I recently went to Japan and tried the signature dishes of Feng Laixuan's main restaurant - eel rice and eel bones, which really amazed me! The eel rice is tender and grilled just right, and every bite is full of happiness. As for the eel bones, they were an unexpected surprise, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, extremely delicious. The entire dining environment is very comfortable and the service attitude is very friendly, which makes me feel the unique charm of traditional Japanese cuisine. This food tour was definitely a feast for my taste buds and I recommend it to all my friends who love food! #Japanese food #Penglaixuan
