The 27 Best Restaurants in Nagoya, Japan | Eater

"Among the first establishments in Nagoya to earn a Michelin star, Kato specializes in gleaming-white, hand-cut udon. Start with the seasonal tempura, which emerges piping-hot with a quick sprinkle of flaky sea salt. Then inquire about the restaurant’s selection of local and regional sake. Order a chilled bottle and drink it over ice for a nice contrast to the steamy fried food. Finish with a bowl of udon, either barely submerged in subtly briny dashi or crowned with niku miso, a paste of wagyu beef and the region’s famed red miso. [$$]" - Nina Li Coomes
