Atsuta Horaiken Jingu

It's the best place to have Japanese anago with rice. Quite different than other places with burn crispy skin and soft anago meatOne important thing to note is that the queue here is VERY long. We came early for dinner but still had to wait for 3HRs to get a table.

Take a long waiting time, but totally worth it. Great dining experience. Highly recommended.

The best of the best restaurant for eel rice. Need to make reservation before you come, otherwise you have to wait at least one or two hours.

very popular place. waited for 2 hrs but the meal is worth it!!

Despite living in Asia for many years, I can't say I'm a fan of eel. But this was a classic for Nagoya, so I tried it, and WOW. It's amazingly good, with a soft buttery texture unlike any eel I ever had before, and a perfect combination of briny, smoked, and gently sweet flavors that was irresistible. They will give instructions on how to eat it like a local, and that is cute and does complement the fish well, but all that is just to flesh out the main experience, what matters is the eel itself. Amazing. Not cheap and not a huge portion, but well worth it. Will definitely make a point of getting more on any future visit.

This is the restaurant of my Nagoya trip that I have to try and not made me disappointed. The texture of eel if different from any restaurant that I have tried before. With “Hitsumabushi” style, you can taste the difference of eating. I was so lucky that on the day we went to restaurant has no waiting queue. And if someone in your trip can’t eat eel, the restaurant also provided chicken, pork and tempura as well.

A well-known restaurant which provides eel rice. They will guide you to eat the eel rice in 3 different ways. The eel rice is fine but not as great as the rumours on the Internet. Also, it is more expensive than other eel rice you can find in Nagoya.Online booking is not available, you have to wait for an hour after getting ticket. Therefore, the “Atsuta Jingu” is the best choice for killing time.

Very satisfying meal! To avoid long queue, better go there for a seat before its opening time.

Famous 'Hitsumabushi' restaurant near Atsuta Shrine. Very crowded but worth going - it's delicious! Recommended route: drop by the restaurant to reserve seats before heading to Atsuta Shrine, spend some time in the shrine and go back to the restaurant. Wait time is often over an hour.

the unagi and beef is good but slightly pricy. must try

Food quality gone down hill compare to previous (2015) visit, rather disappointed.The soup with the eel set is tasteless, almost just water. Previously, it had light refreshing flavour and was tasty. Eel layers seen to have also reduced. Food containers look tired and worn.Service is still good.
