1Okonomiyaki HasshouOkonomiyaki restaurant · Hiroshima4.2 (1,054)Closed · opens tomorrow 10 AMOkonomiyaki Hasshou, 14-17 Noboricho, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, 730-0016, JapanCreator's voice- Hiroshima Style Okonomiyaki — Unlike the Osaka version where everything is mixed together, Hiroshima style is layered, giving you distinct textures and complex flavors in each bite. It's a lighter and less dense option.
2Stand-up Sushi IzakayaSushi restaurant · Hiroshima4.9 (570)Closed · opens tomorrow 3 PMStand-up Sushi Izakaya UOTSUBAKI Hondo-ri minami Store, 1F 2-17 Fukuromachi, Naka Ward, Hiroshima, 730-0036, JapanCreator's voice- Fresh Sushi · $20 per person — Hiroshima sits right on the water, so the fish here is incredibly fresh. It's also much more affordable than Tokyo, with no reservation hassle. We ate many pieces and were stuffed for only $20 per person.
3KakiyaSeafood restaurant · Hatsukaichi4.4 (1,877)Open · until 6 PMKakiya, 539 Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima 739-0588, JapanCreator's voice- Hiroshima Oysters — Hiroshima Bay produces some of the most prized oysters in Japan, known for being plumper and creamier. Locals grill them right at the stalls, and they are massive – one oyster genuinely feels like a meal.
4Fujitiya AnagomeshiAnago restaurant · Hatsukaichi4.2 (1,218)Closed · opens tomorrow 11 AMFujitaya Anagomeshi (Conger Eel), 125-2 Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima 739-0588, JapanCreator's voice- Anago (Conger Eel) — Anago, or saltwater conger eel, is the lighter, more delicate cousin of unagi. It's less oily, more subtle in flavor, and easier to eat in one sitting. Traditionally served over rice with a sweet, savory glaze that lets the fish shine. I personally prefer this over unagi since I can eat it every day.
5Momijido Main StoreJapanese sweets restaurant · Hatsukaichi4.3 (1,449)Closed · opens tomorrow 9 AMMomijido Main Store, 448-1 Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima 739-0556, JapanCreator's voice- Momiji Manju · ¥150 — A traditional Japanese confection shaped like a Japanese maple leaf. It's a small baked sponge cake with a texture similar to pound cake. The fried version is even better than the original, usually served piping hot and crispy with a nice gooey filling inside.
- Fried Momiji Manju (Setouchi Lemon) · ¥250 — The fried version of Momiji Manju, served piping hot and crispy with a gooey filling. This one is the Setouchi Lemon flavor, made with extra juicy lemons cultivated in Hiroshima.
