Hiroshima Dining

Hiroshima has plenty of local cuisines, but okonomiyaki stands out as the city’s specialty. The dish consists of a batter of wheat flour, mirin, and water made beforehand and chilled to give it a smooth texture. The chef cooks this batter with other ingredients, usually cabbage, noodles, and some kind of protein. You can sit in front of the grill in many restaurants to watch the cooking process. Osaka also has a version of this dish, but the ingredients are mixed into the batter rather than sitting on top. Since thousands of restaurants serve Hiroshima okonomiyaki, it can be difficult to know where to eat. It’s best to choose from restaurants that are renowned for being top choices to ensure you have a great experience.
