[ Iconic Food in Aichi ]
Aichi, where Referral partners are based in comes to gourmet foods, Nagoya cuisine such as miso katsu, chicken wings, and hitsumabushi is famous, and now there are even specialty restaurants in the Tokyo metropolitan area. However, this time, I will introduce three super local specialties of Aichi that are not well known outside of the locals.
[ Ebisen ]
People from Aichi and Nagoya, who are known to love shrimp, also love “Ebisen”. Aichi is the largest producer of shrimp crackers in Japan, and is said to have a domestic share of more than 90%. There are many manufacturers, including “Bankaku Sohonpo” (founded in 1889), which is famous nationwide for its Ebisen “Yukari”.
[ Kishimen ]
Flat udon. Aichi’s specialty with over 400 years of history. It is said that the reason why ‘kishimen’ became popular in Aichi Prefecture is that it is more flavorful than udon, and that it appealed to the tastes of the prefecture’s residents, who like strong seasonings.
[ Breakfast combo ]
In cafes in Nagoya, there is a morning combo called “mo-nin-gu”. It is famous for breakfast that comes with a drink, toast, omelet, salad, etc., and is only the price for a cup of coffee. Check out the breakfast combo of the coffee shop you like to visit!

[ 愛知県のソウルフード ]
私たちリファラルパートナーが拠点とする、愛知県のグルメといえば「みそかつ・手羽先・ひつまぶし」などの「名古屋めし」が有名で、いまや首都圏にも専門店があるほどです。でも今回は、地元民以外にはあまり知られていない愛知県の超ご当地名物を３つ紹介します。
[えびせん]
えび好きで知られる愛知県人・名古屋人は、やはり『えびせん』も大好き。愛知県はえびせんの生産量が日本一で、国内シェアも90%を超えると言われます。えびせん『ゆかり』で全国的にも有名な『坂角総本舖 (1889年創業)』さんをはじめ、多くの製造者さん達がいます。
[きしめん]
平たいうどん。400年以上も歴史のある愛知の名物。愛知県で「きしめん」が浸透した理由として、うどんよりもつゆの味が染みやすく、しっかりした味付けが好きな県民の好みに合ったからではないかといわれている。

朝の時間帯にコーヒー1杯程のリーズナブルな料金で、ドリンク・トースト・オムレツ・サラダ等が付き、ボリューム満点の朝食を楽しめることで有名。気になる喫茶店のモーニングセットを調べてみてね！
