Nagoya, Aichi, Japan｜下の一色 本店

We were in Nagoya on the 6th April during our first ever family holiday to Japan. My husband is a big fan of “when in rome…” so wanted to try as many different local foods as possible while we were there. We stumbled upon this quaint fishmongers restaurant specialising in whale (Kujira) After making a booking online, we areived to find they had prepared a personalised table for us and were very welcoming of us as tourists. One of the younger waitresses even took time to show our kids different ways whale is used in japanese culture and how the whole animal is used, even their teeth! (She has very good english by the way!) The food was absolutely delicious, a very subtle sweet but meaty flavour that is so unique! It was also so well prepared and beautifully displayed. The hospitality of the staff (especially to westerners) was absolutely lovely and really showed true the loving and generous nature of the japanese. We will definitely recommend this restaurant to other open-minded travelers and if ever in Nagoya on future trips we will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful night.
