Eel rice bowl restaurant
Come try real eel rice bowl at Shirakawa Joshin Main Store, which is visited by more locals than tourists!
One of Japan's representative foods, eel rice bowl, has many names, but in Nagoya it is called 'Hitsumabushi'. Aren't you curious about the real Hitsumabushi you can find in Nagoya? Nagoya-style Hitsumabushi is made by placing soft eel on top of freshly cooked rice, eating it, and pouring warm tea at the end to enjoy it as ochazuke, which is said to be even more special, so I hope you experience it here.

If you're traveling in Japan, you absolutely must try eel rice bowls. If you're wondering where to eat them, I recommend Shirakawa Joshin Main Branch. This renowned restaurant attracts both locals and tourists, known for its harmonious blend of tender eel and its signature sauce.
Opened in 1953, this restaurant has over 70 years of history and tradition, so the taste is guaranteed. If you want to try authentic hitsumabushi, be sure to visit here.
