Hiroshima Pref. Hatsukaichishi Miyajimaguchi 1-5-11

Tanikichi is a restaurant located on the second floor of a long-established store, Anagomeshi Ueno, about two minutes on foot from Miyajimaguchi Station. Both stores are run by the same owner. Tanikichi offers the local Miyajima food anagomeshi, grilled conger eel on a bed of delicious rice, served in a kettle-cooked pot. The taste of the eel and dashi with the smell of the crisp, slightly burned rice at the bottom of the pot is the restaurant’s signature dish. Their anago no shirayaki (plain grilled eel) together with a glass of sake is a particular favorite here. The restaurant only serves course meals. Tanikichi has the nostalgic atmosphere of the Taisho period. It’s a nice place to relax and enjoy a good meal after a good walk. Advance reservations possible.

Managed by a husband and wife couple, the restaurant has a cozy feel with seating at the counter or on tatami mats.

Seating is at the counter only. With the teppanyaki hot plate grill set up in front of customers at the counter it’s a great place to enjoy some hot okonomiyaki.

This building, a restored old townhouse (the former Uoya Manzo’s), is where the negotiations for compensation took place after a naval collision between two ships, the warship of the Kishu Domain and the Iroha-maru, the ship of Sakamoto Ryoma’s Kaientai (private navy) which lead to its sinking. The first floor is home to a restaurant which serves the specialty sea bream, and on the second floor is the ryokan with its appealingly modern stained glass among the sedate Japanese charm. The building is also noted for the design input it received at the time of its restoration from Hayao Miyazaki, the famous animation artist.

Reichan is an okonomiyaki restaurant located on the second floor of the ASSE shopping mall directly connected to Hiroshima Station. The restaurant is so popular that there’ll often be a queue of people waiting outside during peak times. The long established store was founded as a street stall back in 1957 and only fully trained staff are allowed to make their prized okonomiyaki. The compacted okonomiyaki, made with fresh cabbage, meat, eggs and fresh noodles is a Hiroshima food tasting just as great now as it ever has. They have seating at tables or at the counter and individual customers or groups are more than welcome.

We were amazed at how delicious Reichan’s dishes were at a fraction of the cost of Indian cuisine in London, L.A., etc. We over-ordered after navigating the casual and comfortable restaurant’s...

Hiroshima Areas

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
