This is something I had when I visited a friend who lives near Nagoya.
Nagoya is located in just between Tokyo and Osaka. Tokyo and Osaka are kind of representatives of eastern and western parts of Japan (excluding Hokkaido and Okinawa). Since Nagoya is in between, its culture was mixed and has been developed to be a original one.
To me from Osaka, people in Nagoya like relatively strong tastes. Sometimes it is a bit salty, but sometimes it is too much source on a food.
In the picture I had Miso-katsu (deep fried pork,Ton-katsu, with miso source) and Udon though Udon is not a Nagoya food. Ton-katsu is a pretty popular food in Japan, but once it is served with a miso source, it becomes a Nagoya food. I do not think any special Miso is used for this, but this combination of the fried pork and miso source is quite nice. And always Ton-katsu is served with shredded cabbage, which is nice match , too.
