10 carefully selected establishments in Nagoya & Toyota (Aichi) where it is possible to drink premium beers

Tebasaki

Tebasaki are chicken wings with special seasoning, deep-fried without batter and then drizzled with a sweet sauce, pepper, and sesame seeds. They contain bones, so you eat them with both hands. The sweet-and-sour sauce and the firm, crisp texture of the skin give way to a juicy meaty interior. You’ll find these contrasts so addictive you’ll be unable to stop reaching for the next one. A wing in one hand, a beer in the other, enjoying their tastes alternatively, is the perfect combination.

Misokatsu

Misokatsu as tonkatsu, pork with a breadcrumb batter and deep-fried, topped with a miso-based sauce. Normally, tonkatsu around Japan is served with a sauce made from vegetables, fruits, vinegar, and so on, but in Nagoya, people eat it with a rich miso sauce. While of course the crispness of the tonkatsu goes wonderfully with the miso sauce, it’s also perfect for making beer go down that much more smoothly.

Nagoya Cochin

Nagoya Cochin is the brand name given to the eggs and meat of specially-bred Aichi chickens. Noted for their dark yellow yolks and the smooth, bright colors of the meat, they are served as anything from sashimi to skewers. Their rich flavor and texture makes them perfect with beer however you have them. Why not visit several places, seeing what each of them offer in the way of the wonderful Nagoya Cochin?
