Metroji clue #111

Nagoya in five emoji

Japan

Japan's manufacturing centre, and a city that gets skipped by visitors travelling between Tokyo and Kyoto. It has a reputation domestically for food rather than sights.

What each emoji refers to

The castle has golden dolphins on the roof ridge. It burned in 1945 and the keep was rebuilt in concrete.
Toyota is headquartered in a city an hour away that changed its name to match the company.
Tebasaki are peppered chicken wings, and the local style is to eat them in quantities that alarm outsiders.
Aichi prefecture produces more industrial output than anywhere else in Japan, a lot of it robotics and machine tools.
The castle moat plantings draw the blossom crowds, about a week earlier than Tokyo most years.
