In my previous trip to Japan, I went to Nagoya and wanted to try their local specialty and hence I found this shop : Atsuta Horaiken which is said to be where this dish originated from? I went to their branch located near Atsuta Shrine.
We ordered their Umaki (unagi tamagoyaki, rolled omelette with eel) @ 950 yen to share. The umaki came with generous servings of unagi and the egg is well seasoned and delicious.
We ordered one regular histumabushi each @ 3,600 yen. There are 3 ways of eating it - eating it as it is, eating it with condiments, eating it with soup poured in the rice. The eel is grilled perfectly and well seasoned and the sauce is heavenly and the bowl is so deep we were so stuffed when we were done.
I highly recommend anyone visiting Nagoya to visit this shop or at least try their eel dishes at any eel-specialty shops in Nagoya. Some shops might be more affordable but I believe it is alright to splurge here and there and people with a smaller appetite can share one portion.
You can find their list of branches & access maps here.
