Atsuta Horaiken Main Restaurant

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!

"Horai-ken" is a century-old restaurant in Nagoya. It is located in the city center, in a Japanese-style building with traditional Japanese characteristics. It is famous for its delicious eel rice. Because the business is so good, a strict reservation system is implemented. The time is accurate to the minute. Even the number of people cannot be increased or decreased. If one person is less, the rest of the people will not be allowed in. If one person is more, one person must be subtracted before entering to eat. There is a reason why the business is so good. First of all, the restaurant environment is good, and the courtyard is lush and well-arranged. Secondly, the service is standardized, friendly and thoughtful. The most important thing is that the eel rice is really delicious. The eel meat is fresh and delicate, the eel bones are soft, and the sauce is rich. The sauce with the fragrance of eel penetrates into the pearl-like rice, and the fragrance of the rice itself is really enjoyable! The set meal is also thoughtfully accompanied by exquisite pickles, miso soup, and other seasonings and sauces. The century-old restaurant is well-deserved.

Pretend to have been here... After coming out of the south gate of Atsuta Jingu, I passed by the Horaiken Jingu store, crossed the sky bridge where two people can walk side by side, and walked to the main store, but was told to close!!! I was speechless!!! I had to go back to the Jingu store. But I took a few photos of the scenery at the entrance, and I must come again next time!!! I think in this situation, no matter what you eat, it will add a lot of points

If I go to Nagoya again, half of the reason will be to eat the eel rice at Atsutsu Horaiken! This is my comment on the delicious eel rice at Atsutsu Horaiken, because it is really delicious! Only the people of Nagoya can come up with three ways to eat eel: the first way is to eat it with rice, and carefully taste the aroma of the eel meat grilled over charcoal. The second way is to add mustard, seaweed shreds, chopped green onions and other seasonings to the rice. The third way is to turn the eel rice into traditional tea rice, add mustard, seaweed shreds or chopped green onions to the eel rice, and then pour the hot soup in the bowl and stir it to eat. The three ways of eating have their own characteristics, and each one is unforgettable.

I was planning to go to the Jingu store after coming out of Atsuta Jingu, but ended up taking a break. Luckily, there was another main store across the pedestrian bridge. Before coming to Nagoya, I saw many people recommending Horaiken online, and I was not disappointed because it was really delicious. Although it was a bit expensive, the portion was large, and the eel was fat but not greasy.
