Eat, drink, and discern like a local !
Nagoya city is well known for it's tasty local dishes. Red miso is the go to flavor for many dishes like miso katsu, doteni and doteyaki, miso nikomi udon, and of course, miso soup. Also, there are many local izakaiyas and yakitori (grilled chicken) shops all over the city. Personally, I am most familiar with the Osu-Kannon and Nagoya station areas. Not a fan of large chain shops, so I will show you the truly local shops.

“A Perfect Guide for Nagoya!”
Masa was amazing! I have a small habit to asking lots of mundane and atypical questions, but Masa was certainly up for the task! He tailored my experience for the things I was looking for on my trip and I was able to get all the souvenirs and candies for all the friends and family back home. It was a truly a pleasure to have him as my guide and I would love to visit Nagoya again! Thank you for the great tour, Masa!
