I think it's x-euc-jp, at least for Netscape.
See http://people.netscape.com/ftang/meta.html
Then again, the MIME name should be just euc-jp,
according to ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets
so I don't know the justification for the x.

I have not tried EUC myself.  Anyway, no META tag should be good
for browsers on Japanese auto-detect, but not good for browsers
set to default on other languages.
