A Lively Hiroshima Night Centered on Oysters and Meat
Located in the lively Nagarekawa entertainment district of Hiroshima City, this izakaya serves a wide range of oyster dishes made with fresh oysters landed in Hiroshima Bay, available year-round. A standout favorite is the yakiton, prepared exclusively with morning-ground Seto Momiji pork, a branded variety from Hiroshima Prefecture. Other local specialties, such as beef koune (a rare wagyu cut from the shoulder) boldly grilled over binchotan charcoal, pair well with a selection of sake brewed by local producers as well as notable labels from across Japan. The energetic interior, popular with both after-work locals and visitors, offers counter seating, tables, and private sunken-floor rooms, making it well-suited for everything from solo dining to group gatherings.
Signature Brand Oysters from "Maruken Suisan"
From raw oysters to creative dishes, there is a wide range of oyster dishes using the brand oyster "Kinsuika." Produced by "Maruken Suisan" in Otake City, Hiroshima Prefecture, in the good fishing grounds around Miyajima (Itsukushima) in Aki, Kinsuika offers a rich, seashore aroma and a sweet, rich flavor.
Charcoal-Grilled Yakiton with Deep, Savory Flavor
The "yakiton" made with "Seto Momiji pork"—a branded variety raised on a specially formulated feed that includes powdered oyster shells, a local specialty of Hiroshima—stands out for its depth of flavor and tender texture. Grilled over binchotan charcoal until fragrant and juicy, it pairs exceptionally well with a wide range of drinks.
