Tabanenoshi Harajuku Crepe 浅草茶屋たばねのし 原宿@Tokyo ★★★

Nice Matcha Crepe Cafe from Asakusa. Glad that I didn't have to go to Asakusa to finally try it. Kakegawa Matcha Brulee was the most popular item with gold flakes on top. It tasted good. Didn't see the sign until we sat down, but you can follow their IG for 50 yen off discount. Few seats available inside.

Kakegawa Matcha Brulee (most popular) 990 yen

Kakegawa Green Tea 500 yen

Maruya Honten まるや本店 名駅店@Nagoya ★★★

Unagi Specialty in Nagoya.I feel like Deluxe Hitsumabushi (7,250 yen) has a bit better quality, but the portion would be too much for one person to finish. Special Hitsumabushi (4,950 yen, tax included) would be a more manageable portion. Best with Sansho Pepper. Definitely upgrade to the Unagi Liver soup for 150 yen. They were out of the Grilled Unagi Liver, but Unagi Liver Pon was available. Remember to request the Dashi Broth when you are close to finishing your rice. It may take a while to come. Walk-in only. Popular for tourists. Conveniently located by the JR Nagoya station.

One and a half Eel & 450g rice
