Nagoya is a large city with a population of about 2.3 million, which lies on the west side of Aichi Prefecture in the center of Japan. The most famous tourist spot in Nagoya is Nagoya Castle built by Tokugawa Ieyasu, bearing celebrated golden dolphins on top. However, Nagoya nowadays welcome many Japanese and overseas tourists who come seeking a try of the so-called "Nagoya Meshi" local specialties, which include miso nikomi udon made with traditional red miso, miso katsu, hitsumabushi, and tebasaki.

Now, there are only five sake breweries left due to the urbanization that has taken place. However, lately, a group of young members from four breweries got together and formed Nagoya Cloud which aims to promote Nagoya's local sake brands to domestic and overseas markets. Nagoya Meshi perfectly matches Nagoya's local sakes; do be sure to enjoy both when you visit Nagoya.
