矢場とん 名古屋駅ルーセント店

While Yabaton is reknowned for its miso katsu, this restaurant chain also has several of the unique Nagoya cuisine on its menu. The B1 Lucent Tower store is quieter and more spacious than the long queues at the Nagoya Station or Esca outlets. Having said that, do go early on weekends or make reserv...ations. The notable Nagoya cuisine at the restaurant include Tebasaki (savoury chicken wings), Miso Katsu (pork cutlet with miso sauce), Tenmusu (deep fried shrimp topping pockets of rice wrapped in seaweed), Hitsumabushi (grilled eel on rice eaten 3-ways) and Nagoya Cochin Chicken (premier native bred chicken). The miso katsu loin cutlet was a huge serving and tad too heavy for me. Pork fillet could be a better option to go with the sweet and rich miso sauce. The restaurant staff are always busy fleeting around, so do be patient. Ask for English menu as English is not widely understood. Bon appetite!

After finding a queue a mile long, at Yabaton Meitetsu at Nagoya Station, we found this one in the Lucent food court area, which it shares with a Nagoya chicken and eel hitsumabushi place. Allows you to try several different cuisines at once. The tonkatsu is good, but a bit oily and the red miso sa...uce is very rich and quite salty. Serving on the recommended set meal is big. Overall, good to try, but I preferred normal tonkatsu with sesame and BBQ sauce more. Great location to avoid the queues.

This might be the branch that we ate the famous miso tonkatsu. The staff are friendly and very accommodating. The food are great and they even offer unlimited rice and green tea!
