Hitsumabushi Hanaoka

Hitsumabushi Hanaoka is a restaurant in Nagoya that serves hitsumabushi with eel grilled over charcoal. Diners eat the eel with rice first, then add scallions, shiso, and wasabi, and finish by pouring warm broth over it to enjoy it as ochazuke. A QR code on the waiting ticket lets you check your place in line, and after you sit down the food takes about 15 to 30 minutes to arrive. Waits are long, and even at lunch it can take over three hours to get in.
