    Hiroshima Pref. Kureshi Hondori 4-10-1
    Chinraiken is a long-established restaurant built up from a lowly food stall after the war and said to be the first restaurant to serve the local Kure food, Kure-reimen (cold noodles). It’s a very popular restaurant widely frequented by tourists and local residents. During peak times there’ll often be a queue of people eagerly waiting outside. The soup together with their own special blend of sauce with the flavors of soy sauce, chili peppers, and sesame all based around a chicken broth has a perfect balance of sweetness, spiciness and sourness. The simple and rich flavor goes well with the made-to-order flat noodles and tender slices of roast pork. Try adding their original su-karashi (vinegar and mustard) seasoning, delicious! The nearest station is Kure Station.

    岩手の冷麺とそんなに変わらないかなと思って食べてみたら、全然別のものでした。 麺も平たく細く、味も少し甘みがあるような感じで、テーブルにおいてある酢からしをかけると、味が変化して美味しい。 そのままより少しだけかけた方が美味しくて好きでした。 また食べたくなる味です。 11時40分ごろ行きましたが、すでに並んでおりましたが30分弱待って入れました。食べ終わって出てみるとさらに列は長くなってました。

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.
