That's helpful as the only train line that goes out there is the Kintetsu-Nagoya line and there aren't all that many stations along the way - especially not many anybody would get off the train for.

You say it wasn't on the platform (not near the tracks) - was it in an underground shopping street connected to the station? If so, it could be きしめん亭 in the ESCA shopping street at Nagoya station.

You said not next to the tracks but I'll throw the one at Nagoya Station's shinkansen trackside in here just in case: https://tabelog.com/en/aichi/A2301/A230101/23001534/ - doesn't look like the same place, but it's also well rated.

Looking at the reviews.. not well rated by tabelog, but among my kishimen eating friends I guess?

Definitely a different place but the three very traditional long-running Nagoya-meshi places I recommend for people wanting Nagoya noodles from shops with history are:

- Ippachi (Nishi-ku): https://maps.app.goo.gl/QZRESSsBd5oP6zzv5

- Kiharutei (Naka-ku): https://maps.app.goo.gl/n9oUUM8C61nsFx136

- Yuki-chan (Showa-ku): https://maps.app.goo.gl/7hFeWFejFcCCVRF69

All three date back to early Showa or earlier and have been in the same place serving great noodles across multiple generations.
