A crisp texture and natural sweetness. Aishin City is a major production area for lotus root.
The fertile wetland area was formed by sediment brought by the Kiso, Nagara, and Ibi rivers (the Kiso Three Rivers). This land, which lies below sea level, was perfect for lotus root cultivation. It is said that the practice began when an abbot of a temple planted them during the Edo period, and it has since grown into one of Japan's leading production areas, accounting for most of the lotus root production in Aichi Prefecture. In summer, lotus flowers bloom in full glory across the landscape.
Depending on how it is cooked, its character changes: fluffy when made into tempura, and crunchy when prepared as kinpira or simmered dishes. Because one can see through the holes, it has long been cherished as a lucky ingredient symbolizing foresight.

It is said that the name Hatcho Miso comes from the fact that it was produced in Hatcho Village, located eight 'cho' (approximately 870 meters) west of Okkanzaki Castle. In Hatcho-cho, Okazaki City, two breweries—Maruya, founded in 1337, and Kakukyu, founded in 1645—still stand side by side across the Old Tokaido road.
The tradition involves fermenting only soybeans, salt, and water, allowing it to mature slowly over two summers and two winters (more than two years). With low moisture content, the umami of the soybeans is highly concentrated.
It is a flavorful staple that has long supported the food culture of Mikawa.

The 'Kabuto Beer' brewed here was an authentic German-style beer that won a gold medal at the Paris World Expo in Meiji 33. Although the brand eventually disappeared, it was brilliantly revived in 2005 through the efforts of local volunteers.
Savor the revived beers from the Meiji and Taisho eras within this heavy, brick-walled space. As you reflect on the flavors of that time, immerse yourself in the history and romance of this proud industrial heritage of Handa.

Rich umami and a thick consistency. Taketoyo Town in the Chita Peninsula is a renowned production area for Tamari soy sauce.
Tamari soy sauce is made primarily from soybeans with very little wheat, undergoing a long-term aging process. Because it is crafted with great care and time, the umami components become concentrated, resulting in a deep color and a syrupy mouthfeel. Since the Meiji era, when the opening of railways and ports made the transport of raw materials more convenient, the production of miso and tamari flourished greatly in Taketoyo. It is known as a brewing town alongside Choshi in Kanto and Tatsuno in Kansai.
It can be used thick for dipping sashimi, or as a seasoning for rice crackers and tsukudani (simmered foods). In the townscape where black-walled storehouses line the streets, the fragrant aroma of brewing still drifts through the air, continuing to support the food culture of the Tokai region.
特産品
Deep richness and powerful umami. This is Mame-miso (soybean miso), which supports the root of Aichi's food culture.
Aichi is a cultural sphere for Aka-miso (red miso/mame-miso). It is prepared using a unique method where only soybeans and salt are aged slowly over time. In places like Taketoyo Town on the Chita Peninsula, breweries for miso and tamari are clustered together, and the scent of brewing drifts through streets lined with black-walled storehouses. The intense richness, unique to long-term aging, is a characteristic not found in other misos.
Many Nagoya specialties—such as Miso Katsu, Miso Nikomi Udon, and Doteniku—were born thanks to this mame-miso. It is also indispensable as a side dish for rice or as a sauce for Dengaku. This is a proud product that has continued to firmly carry the foundation of the Tokai region's dining tables.

Another famous eel raised with the blessings of Mikawa Bay. Hekinan City is an area where eel farming is flourishing.
Hekinan, known for its brewing of white soy sauce and mirin, is a city blessed with high-quality groundwater. The eels raised in this pure water boast fine-textured flesh and a perfect amount of fat. Along with neighboring Nishio and Isshiki, the West Mikawa region of Aichi has long been known as a major production center for eel. At local restaurants, you can taste eels that have been grilled with great care.
In addition to the fluffy and fragrant kabayaki (glazed eel), the shirayaki (plain grilled eel), which allows the quality of the ingredients to shine through, is also exceptional. It pairs perfectly with the local white soy sauce and mirin. This is premium eel raised by the pure waters of Hekinan, a town of brewing.
特産品
Preserving the true colors of your cuisine. The amber-clear white soy sauce of Hekinan City is a condiment born in this very region.
Hekinan is the birthplace of white soy sauce. It is said to have originated in the late Edo period when people noticed the beautiful color of the supernatant liquid from Kinzanji miso. While standard dark soy sauce uses almost equal amounts of soybeans and wheat, white soy sauce makes wheat the protagonist; because it is brewed for a shorter period, it results in a pale color. It is the perfect choice for dishes where you want to highlight the natural colors of the ingredients.
With an elegant sweetness and a clean umami flavor, using it in chawanmushi (savory egg custard), clear soups, or udon broth enhances both the appearance and taste while preserving the original colors of the ingredients. It is a highly valued 'supporting actor' born in Hekinan, cherished by professional chefs.
特産品
Adding gloss and a mellow sweetness to your cooking. Hekinan City is the birthplace of authentic Mikawa Mirin.
In 1772, the founder of Kokonube Mirin, who was then a shipping wholesaler, recognized that the Mikawa region was suitable for mirin production and began brewing. Eventually, eel and soba restaurants praised its quality, calling it "Mikawa Mirin," and it became widely enjoyed. This authentic mirin, carefully brewed using only local Mikawa glutinous rice, rice koji, and authentic shochu, carries the flavor passed down by Japan's oldest mirin brewery.
With its elegant sweetness and beautiful gloss, using it in sauces for simmered dishes or kabayaki (grilled eel) adds significant depth to your cooking. It is a treasure of Hekinan's food culture that has long been loved by chefs across the country.

Slurping thick noodles coated in rich, creamy curry, you think you've had your fill—only to discover rice topped with tororo waiting at the bottom of the bowl. It is Toyohashi's famous curry udon that offers two delicious experiences in one bowl.
Created in 2010, it was developed through the ingenuity of the local noodle association to revitalize Toyohashi, a true hub for udon. The clever design features rice and tororo at the bottom so that you can enjoy every last drop of the curry broth, which often goes to waste.
Homemade noodles, Toyohashi-grown quail eggs, and accompanying fukujinzuke pickles—serving this dish while strictly adhering to the creator's "Five Principles" is a point of pride for this town.
First, enjoy it as curry udon, then move on to the tororo rice at the bottom. Please savor the two distinct stages of flavor without mixing them together until the end.

A plump, bouncy white interior with a beautifully toasted surface. When you bite into it, the firm, springy texture is followed by a gradual spread of savory fish umami. It is a processed seafood product packed with the bounty of the sea that Toyohashi takes pride in.
The roots of chikuwa in Toyohashi date back to the Bunsei era. It is said that Zensaku Sato, who ran a fish wholesale business, was moved by the famous chikuwa he encountered while visiting Konpira-sama in Shikoku and began making it in his hometown, which is rich in seafood.
Eventually, via the 'Salt Road' used to transport salt, it was delivered even to Shinshu, far from the sea, and the name of Toyohashi Chikuwa became widely known.
Enjoy it as is, or with wasabi soy sauce in oden. It is a single piece that lets you savor the blessings of the ocean.

A single bite featuring vinegared rice packed tightly inside deep-fried tofu simmered in a sweet and savory sauce. As the infused broth melts in your mouth, a subtle acidity and gentle sweetness follow.
The name 'Inari' originates from Inari worship itself. In the early 19th century, sushi made by stuffing rice into fried tofu—which was offered to Inari—became widespread, and the temple town of Toyogawa Inari remains recorded as one of its birthplaces. Today, creative variations topped with miso katsu or eel line the approach to the temple, offering endless enjoyment for food lovers.
When you bite into the fried tofu, the warmth of the savory broth seeps out. It is a simple yet irresistible specialty of the temple town that you'll want to savor after your visit.

Gohei Mochi is a traditional dish found in the mountainous regions of central Japan, including Okumikawa in Aichi, Kiso and Ina in Nagano, and Hida in Gifu. It is said to have been eaten as far back as the mid-Edo period.
There are various theories regarding the origin of its name; some suggest it was modeled after the shape of 'Gohei' (ritual paper streamers) used as offerings to deities, while others claim it was started by a person named 'Gohei.' It is also said that its origins lie in feasts offered to the mountain gods.

The lid of the clay pot simmers with a bubbling sound. As you lift it, the deep aroma of Hatcho miso rises along with the steam. Slurping the firm noodles, which still retain a bite, coated in raw egg—this is a quintessential dish representing winter in Nagoya.
Its defining feature is thick, firm noodles simmered in a rich broth based on Hatcho miso, served in an individual clay pot. It is said that 'Houtou,' a battlefield meal used by Takeda Shingen, was brought to the Owari region and merged with the local bean miso to create this dish.
The current style of simmering thick noodles in a clay pot is said to have been popularized by 'Yamamoto-ya' in Osu, Nagoya, during the Taisho era. Around the end of the Meiji era, an udon shop from Ichinomiya held workshops in Nagoya, helping the dish spread to various regions.
It is a specialty that warms you to the core, making it something you crave especially on cold days.
ご当地グルメ
The combination of sweet and savory sauce and the sharp sting of pepper. When you pick one up with your fingers and take a bite, the savory juices burst from beneath the crispy skin. It is a Nagoya nighttime specialty that makes it impossible to stop at just one.
Fried chicken wings are said to have originated with 'Furaibo,' founded in Hibino, Atsuta, Nagoya in 1963. Legend has it that the dish began when an error in a whole chicken order left them with extra chicken wings in storage, which they decided to fry using their Tarzan-yaki sauce.
After being featured on a television program in 1972, the shop's popularity soared, leading to long lines. Later, 'Sekai no Yamachan,' featuring its own unique blend of spices, appeared in 1981, and both shops became beloved as the two major titans of the dish.
A dish that pairs perfectly with beer and keeps your hands reaching for more.
ご当地グルメ
Crispy fried cutlet paired with a thick, flowing red miso sauce. It is sweet, savory, and rich, yet somehow addictive—a quintessential Nagoya dish that pairs perfectly with both rice and beer.
It is said that its roots may lie in post-war food stalls, where customers would dip kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) into miso-simmered beef tendon (doteyaki). There are various theories regarding its origin: some suggest a long-established Nagoya restaurant devised the sauce using tendon sauce as inspiration, while others claim it originated at a Western-style restaurant in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture; no single definitive history has been established.
From the 1960s onwards, restaurants serving cutlets with a Hatcho miso-based sauce are said to have spread, centered around Nagoya.
It is a dish with an irresistible, bold flavor that makes it impossible to stop eating rice.

With just one sip of the soup, the garlic and chili pepper rush in all at once. Just like its bright red appearance of minced meat and chives, it is a spicy specialty born in Nagoya that will make you break into a sweat.
It was devised by Mingyu Guo of 'Misen,' whose father was from Taichung. It is said that inspired by the Danzai noodles (Tanimian) he ate in Taipei, he began serving it to customers at his own shop in 1971. Although this dish does not exist in Taiwan, it was named 'Taiwan Ramen' because its roots are linked to Tainan.
As its reputation spread, restaurants all over Nagoya began serving it, and it has now become a representative flavor of the city. Unique variations, such as the less spicy 'American' style, have also been created.
Please try this addictive spice for yourself.

The thick, reddish-brown sauce clings perfectly to the thick noodles. With its peppery, spicy flavor and chewy, extra-thick noodles, it is a unique Nagoya-style spaghetti that makes it impossible to stop using your fork.
It was created by Hiroshi Yokoi, who later opened 'Spaghetti House Yokoi.' It is said that around 1961, while working at a Nagoya restaurant called 'So-re,' he spent about two years perfecting the dish by arranging demi-glace and meat sauces.
While 'So-re' is considered the birthplace, 'Yokoi' (established after his independence) is regarded as the original. It reportedly came to be called 'Ankake Spagheti' because it resembles 'Ankake Udon' due to its thick sauce.
It is a specialty dish of Nagoya that you cannot taste anywhere else.

A single bowl offers four different ways to enjoy it. 'Hitsumabushi' is a Nagoya specialty consisting of fragrant chopped eel mixed with rice, where the method of eating itself is a feast.
Its origin is attributed to Atsuta Houraiken, an established shop founded in 1873. It is said that because they had many deliveries and frequently broke ceramic bowls, they switched to more durable wooden 'ohitsu' (tubs). However, with a large tub, the eel would run out before the rice—so they began chopping the eel finely and mixing it with the rice, which became highly popular.
First, eat it as is; next, add condiments; for the third serving, pour dashi over it to make chazuke. Finally, finish with your favorite method. It is a specialty dish that keeps you from ever getting bored with a single bowl.

There are various theories regarding the origin of its name; some suggest it was originally shaped like Go stones, while others believe it is a derivative of 'Kishu-men' created by people from Kishu, but the exact origin remains unknown.
It is a light dish that can be eaten easily, leaving you craving it again and again.

Golden toasted bread topped with butter and a generous amount of Ogura-an (sweet red bean paste). The combination of sweetness and saltiness, the crispy texture, and the chewy bean paste—it is a Nagoya coffee shop classic that brings happiness in a single bite.
It is said to have originated at the Nagoya coffee shop "Mitsuba." During the Taisho era, the owner observed students dipping trendy butter toast into zenzai (sweet red bean soup) and decided to try topping the toast with the paste from the start.
Although "Mitsuba" closed in 2002, its legacy was carried on by a branch shop, and in 2023, a related establishment made a revival in Midori Ward. Today, it is recognized nationwide as one of Nagoya's signature dishes (Nagoya-meshi).
