Nagomitei Tanakaya

Centrally located in Naka-ku, Hiroshima, Nagomitei Tanakaya is headed by chef Tanaka Katashi. Since childhood, Katashi gravitated towards the life of a chef, catching and cooking his own fish daily. Now, with over 35 years in the restaurant industry, he prepares the menu by paying attention to the origin of his ingredients and special consideration towards his guests. Specialties include the conger eel which is dried slowly overnight, and the “hitori-nabe” (hot pot for one) which allows solo diners to enjoy the full experience of a hot pot meal while sitting at the counter in the chef’s company. Every course meal at Nagomitei Tanakaya includes an all-you-can-drink plan. The weekday course (150 minutes) and weekend course (90 minutes) come with 6 kinds of dishes: appetizer, sashimi, grilled dish, steamed dish, fried dish, and rice dish. You can also upgrade your course according to your taste. Additionally, there are more than 25 kinds of a-la-carte dishes to choose from. The overnight-dried conger eel pairs beautifully with nihonshu (sake). If you visit Hiroshima, you can’t miss out on the oysters, and here at Nagomitei the oyster tempura dish is especially succulent. They also have fried ginkgo nut tempura. Another speciality is Bikkuri Dashimaki Tamago, a large omelet that uses 5 eggs. The chef often goes to the market to choose fresh and seasonal ingredients, so you can also savor seasonal fish, like pike. Nagomitei is located 9 minutes away from Fukuromachi Station on foot. Booking in advance is highly recommended.
