Oysters have been cultivated for over 400 years in Hiroshima. More than 50% of Japan’s oysters production are produced in Hiroshima.
The waves of Hiroshima Bay are quiet and the tides are moderate, which is a good condition for oysters. Therefore, the oysters are large, crunchy, and have a rich taste.
Today, we picked up the shops around Hiroshima Station that many people use. Here we’ll share 3 restaurants that we visited and recommend!
KANAWA（かなわ）
KANAWA has a long history that founded in 1867. It is one of the most famous oyster restaurants in Hiroshima.
Hiroshima has been shipping oysters to cities such as Osaka since ancient times. From there, they started cooking and serving on board, which became a restaurant on board.
The restaurant on board is located by the Peace Park, so if you are interested, please try it.
