Motsu-sen
An izakaya in the historic townhouse district of Shikemichi/Nagono. Specializes in motsusuki, a sukiyaki-style hot pot with beef tripe that is rare even in Nagoya. Five carefully selected types of beef tripe in rich sauce, finishing with champon noodles. Omakase course 3,980 yen (drinks extra) is exceptional value. 180 Tabelog reviews, 3.62. Always full of local Nagono regulars.
Reviews say: 'This is the only place in Nagoya for motsusuki — worth coming just for that,' 'Getting this quality for under 4,000 yen per person is insane,' and 'Drinking in the atmosphere of Shikemichi is an experience in itself.' Tabelog 3.62.
