Nagoya is famous for Yabaton (miso katsu) and Hitsumabushi, but you should definitely try Taiwan Mazesoba too — it’s one of the best local dishes here.
This one is from HANABI, the original shop.
Even though it’s called “Taiwan” mazesoba, it’s actually a Japanese dish, born in Nagoya.
No soup.
Spicy minced pork.
Egg yolk.
Green onions, chives, seaweed, fish powder…
You mix everything together until it looks chaotic — and then the flavor hits hard.
And just a warning:
It’s actually pretty spicy. Like… seriously spicy 🔥🔥🔥
If you’re sensitive to heat, be careful.
But that spicy-umami combo is addictive,
and the best part is adding rice at the end to finish the leftover sauce — pure happiness.
And the best part?
The standard mazesoba is only 890 yen.
Students even get a discount.
Cheap and insanely good — that’s why everyone gets hooked.
If you’re visiting Nagoya, don’t stop at the classic dishes.
Try mazesoba too!
