Hiroshima

Japan is a country known for its regional culinary specialities, meaning that visitors can travel around the country and sample something different everywhere they go. Hiroshima is a great stop-off point for a foodie, with well-known delights including okonomiyaki, oysters, and conger eel. When it comes to winter grub, the prefecture offers up its own twist on several Japanese warm dish staples. Whether you’re eating out at a restaurant or having a nice meal in someone’s home, here’s some tasty winter treats you can expect.
