Special breakfast culture in Nagoya: The Morning Service (breakfast deal)
If you come to Nagoya, it will worth trying breakfast at local cafe here.
At most cafes here, you can get a free morning service when you order a drink in the morning.
Depending on the cafe you choose, the morning service will include bread, boiled egg, salad with yogurt, etc.
Therefore, some people call Nagoya “Coffee Kingdom”.
In fact, it is said that the idea of the free breakfast service originated not in Nagoya, but in Ichinomiya city.
Ichinomiya is famous for its textile industry. Because the textile machines were too noisy, people in Ichinomiya preferred to talk business at a cafe, which usually took a long time.
For this reason, the smart cafe owners began to offer eggs and peanuts for free at that time. As time passed by, it became the morning service we know now.
If you come to Nagoya, it would be a shame to miss the morning service.
So today I will recommend you some cafes in Nagoya.
