Description
Discover the unique flavors of Japanese cuisine and eat like a local on this walking tour in Hiroshima. Visit some vibrant markets, and hidden gems, and sample a selection of tasty delicacies.
Six authentic, delicious tastings and a drink of your choice are included for you in this unforgettable personalized food tour of Hiroshima with a friendly local guide. Meet your guide at Shukkei-en, a traditional Japanese garden straight from the pages of a storybook, and drink in the fresh air and stunning scenery.
Pass historic Japanese teahouses on your way to the beating heart of Hiroshima’s culinary culture, Okonomimura (“Okonomiyaki Village”), where several restaurants under a single roof serve the food locals love most: Hiroshima Okonomiyaki – the city’s take on Japan’s famous “everything pancake” that benefits from the addition of yakisoba noodles and is fried in mouth-watering layers. Pick a stall and try it for yourself!
Craving some seafood? You’re in the right place. Pass by a collection of oyster huts and eateries selling one of Hiroshima’s most abundant delicacies at excellent prices. Sample fresh oysters before heading to buzzing Nagarekawa, the city’s ultimate party and entertainment district. Walk down neon-lit streets and peer into hip bars and quirky cafes, and stop for a coffee break at a place that piques your interest (locals would be quick to recommend Social Book Cafe Hachidorisha.)
When you’re ready for a sweet treat, nibble on local specialty Momiji Manjū – a creative take on the traditional buckwheat and rice cake that’s shaped like a Japanese maple leaf. End in the jovial, bar-lined Ekinishi neighborhood, packed with trendy joints and diverse restaurants housed in renovated buildings, for traditional bar snacks and a cold beer.
