"5 Places to Try the Famous Nagoya Dish Hitsumabushi: Shirakawa - While their unagi is of course delicious, Shirakawa is best known for the tea they use in the ochazuke portion of the hitsumabushi meal. This is not your normal Japanese green tea. Instead, it's made with a specially mild dashi that balances perfectly with the taste of the unagi, sauce, and glaze, all while exuding an intoxicating aroma. What's more, their prices are also quite reasonable."

"The 27 Essential Nagoya Restaurants: Shirakawa - Shirakawa offers a cheap, casual way to enjoy hitsumabushi. At first glance, the hitsumabushi does not appear so different from other versions around town, but Shirakawa’s charred eel is saltier, more savory, and less caramelized than competitors. You can certainly go for dinner but most locals opt for lunch, when prices are slightly cheaper and the wait is shorter."

"Hitsumabushi is a very luxurious eel dish, and for that it's expensive. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to eat high-quality hitsumabushi for a slightly cheaper price? For those of you thinking that, you should try this place. But rest assured that the ingredients and the chefs themselves are high-quality as well!"
