Irvine|No Need to Fly to Nagoya to Try Classic Unagi Three-Ways 🎏
A Nagoya-style izakaya right here in Irvine… locals are eating too well. 🏮 Hitsumabushi — Nagoya-Style Grilled Eel Rice You must order their signature eel rice when you come! The skin is crispy yet tender, the meat sweet and succulent. The restaurant thoughtfully explains the authentic Nagoya way to enjoy it: Step 1️⃣: Eat 1/4 of the eel rice as is — savor the original flavor. Step 2️⃣: Mix another 1/4 with scallions and wasabi for a refreshing taste. Step 3️⃣: Add the third 1/4 to hot broth with wasabi — turns into comforting eel ochazuke (tea-soaked rice)! Step 4️⃣: Enjoy the final 1/4 however you like best! 🏮 Deluxe Premium Chirashi Bowl Their fish is imported directly from Japan 🍣 Toro, uni, sweet shrimp… so fresh it’s like tasting Tsukiji Market! 🏮 Nagoya-Style Jidori Chicken Wings Another Nagoya classic — their fried chicken wings! The Nagoya style is known for its bold pepper-salt seasoning. Thin, crispy coating + juicy inside = absolutely amazing! Can only imagine how good it’d be with an ice-cold beer 🍺 Follow for more hidden-gem restaurants and travel tips! 💕 🏠 Sagami 📍 3850 Barranca Pkwy Suite B, Irvine, CA 92606 #IrvineEats #IrvineRestaurants #IrvineJapanese #IrvineLife #IrvineFinds #IrvineTravel
