『Speaking of restaurants in Nagoya?”, the first thing that comes to mind is “Misen”.
This is a sudden digression, but Nagoya is also famous for its saunas, and the representative one is ``well-being”.
Welbe has two stores in Nagoya, Sakae and Imaike, and a total of three stores in Fukuoka.
There used to be another store in Nagoya, the Meieki store, but it was sadly closed due to the closure of the building that housed the Meieki store in 2023 last year. .
The Wellbe chain includes Sauna Lab, which has three stores in Nagoya, Fukuoka, and Kanda, Tokyo.
Whenever I come to Nagoya and stay overnight,Wellbe Imaike storeI will stay at ``.
『Wellbe Imaike store” has not only a sauna but also a hot spring, so as someone who loves saunas, baths, and hot springs, this is not only my favorite of all the WellBe facilities, but also the best sauna facility I have ever visited.
That “Wellbe Imaike store” and across the main street is “Misen Imaike main store”.
So, when you come to Nagoya,Wellbe Imaike store” and stayed at “Misen Imaike main store” is included in the set.
To be honest, Misen itself has stores in Kanda and Shinbashi in Tokyo, but Misen has a chain, and the Imaike main store that we will visit this time is a different chain in Kanda and Shinbashi.
It seems that different brands have different tastes, but I'm not an expert on flavor to the point where I can tell the difference. .
I've just come to Nagoya, and if the main store is right in front of me, I always go there.
The story of the series is going to be long if I write about it, so if you are interested, please read the details.This sitePlease take a look at.
This time, “Whiskey Lovers NagoyaI was visiting Nagoya to participate in a whiskey event called ``.
After the event ends,Misen Imaike main store”.
The time was around 17:20.
The store opens at 5:30 p.m., but there are about 30 people in line in front of it.
There are a lot of people in line, but there are 280 seats, so if you're in line this long, you can easily get in on the first round.
Once you are shown to your seat, order the first batch.
First up is Bin Beeru (Bottled Beer).
It will be delivered immediately.
Next is Kobukuro.
The garlic has a strong effect, and the beer goes well with its strong seasoning.
Speaking of Ajisen, it is one of the standard dishes.
And stir-fried green vegetables.
This is also a standard dish of Ajisen.
Garlic is also very effective in this.
However, when I ate it last year, the garlic was more effective and the overall flavor was stronger. .
It's been about 5 minutes since I placed my order.
Misen is famous not only for its taste, but also for its fast delivery speed.
I continued eating the kobukuro and stir-fried green vegetables with beer, and when I was about halfway through, I ordered a second batch.
I actually wanted to go one step further and order beef tendon, intestine, stir-fried clams, and another bottle of beer, but the whiskey I had been drinking at the event earlier was starting to take effect, and I was getting pretty drunk from just one bottle of beer, so I ended the meal with a whimper.
When you think of Ajisen, you think of Taiwanese ramen.
Honestly speaking, it's really delicious, and there are many ramen and noodles that are even more delicious than this, but I'll eat it as a sign of coming to Nagoya.
The flavor of the minced meat and the spiciness of the hawk claws are a nice accent, and it's not bad at all.
I recommend you to try it at least once when you visit Nagoya.
And garlic fried rice.
This is also famous.
I think the garlic was stronger last year. .
Still, the flavor is strong, and it makes you want to go for another bottle of beer even though it was supposed to be a finishing touch.
I quickly finished all the Taiwanese ramen noodles, and enjoyed my meal with garlic fried rice and Taiwanese ramen soup.
By the way, the bill was just under 4,000 yen.
Maybe it's just my imagination, but overall I feel like the garlic and seasonings were less strong than last year. .
Afterwards, I was thinking that I could have finished off with one of the dishes and ordered one more snack.Wellbe Imaike”.
It's a bit worrisome to hear that the flavors differ depending on the chain, but the Imaike main store, the JR Nagoya Station store, and the Dai Nagoya Building store near Nagoya Station are all part of the same chain.
Although it is a little far from Nagoya Station, the Meieki store (Yanagibashi) is easily accessible, and I think the Yaba Misen store near Sakae is also a different store, and Kanda and Shinbashi in Tokyo are also a different store, so I will try to visit other stores next time if I can, so I can understand the difference between Misen.
By the way, I visited Nagoya last year in 2023 to participate in Whiskey Lovers Nagoya, andWellbe Imaike” and stayed at “Misen Imaike main store” is visiting.
And we eat the same menu: bottled beer, kobukuro, stir-fried green vegetables, Taiwanese ramen, and garlic fried rice.
I'm sure they'll do the same thing next year in 2025. .
