Tabelog 2024 No. 72 and Nagoya eel
Tabelog ranked this Atsuta Houraiken branch at No. 72 in its 2024 restaurant ranking with 3.7 pts. Its focus is traditional Nagoya eel, centered on hitsumabushi.
Hitsumabushi and Matsuzakaya Nagoyaten 10F
Hitsumabushi, unaju, umaki, grilled eel liver, and eel bone crackers define the order. Lunch and dinner both fit, with standard pacing and casual service.
Matsuzakaya Nagoyaten South Building 10F puts the restaurant in Sakae, Nagoya. Casual dress and a lively noise level make it better suited to an unfussy eel meal than a hushed occasion.

Bustling, classic Japanese restaurant atmosphere on a department-store 10th floor, with constant foot traffic and wait times, bright lighting, and a practical, family-friendly dining room focused on efficiently serving hitsumabushi rather than design-forward decor.
