Eight recommended restaurants in Hiroshima where oysters can be eaten well after May!

This May (2023), there will be a G7 summit here in Hiroshima, and the city will be on high alert and in the national spotlight.

The Corona disaster has somehow calmed down, and I am sure that many people will be traveling to Hiroshima in the future.

One thing I would like to recommend to those who come to Hiroshima is to try oysters. I personally love oysters and eat them often.

However, oysters are basically for winter, and even in my hometown of Hiroshima, the number of restaurants where you can eat them gradually decreases around Golden Week.

However, there are, of course, some places where you can still enjoy oysters!

Therefore, in this article, we have selected eight restaurants in Hiroshima where you can eat many oysters even after Golden Week.

Each restaurant has its own special features, such as all-you-can-eat grilled oysters, buffet-style restaurants, and restaurants where you can eat even late at night, so please go home and enjoy delicious Hiroshima oysters at the restaurant that suits you best!

Shimada Suisan Oyster House (Miyajima-guchi)

Shimada Suisan is a production and sales company in Hatsukaichi City that also operates a popular restaurant where you can eat oysters over a charcoal fire right where they are landed. Usually open until Golden Week, the restaurant is also open for all-you-can-eat oysters (please confirm when you go).

The mainland side of Miyajima is called Miyajima-guchi, and it is a short 10-minute walk west from the Miyajima-guchi station (JR and Hiroden). I walked here the other day, but it is a bit far from the station, so if you don’t like long walks, a cab from the station might be a better option. It is good to enjoy Miyajima sightseeing in combination with a visit to Miyajima.

Hiroshima Oyster Road Oyster House Ujina (Ujina, Minami-ku)

This restaurant has long been famous as an oyster spot accessible from the center of Hiroshima City. The casual atmosphere and charcoal-grilled oysters are popular, and although it is not an all-you-can-eat restaurant, you can eat a large quantity of oysters at a reasonable price.

Oyster House Fukuro-machi Kaihei Shoten (Fukuro-machi, Naka-ku, Tokyo)

This store is a direct descendant of the “Oyster House Ujina” mentioned above. It is conveniently located in the center of Hiroshima City. It is also popular for its casual atmosphere.

Oyster House Toyomaru Suisan Hiroshima Hondori Branch (Fukuromachi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima )

This restaurant is located in the arcade of Hondori. Get off at Hondori Station on the Hiroshima Electric Railway and walk a little to the Parco side (east side). The location is very good, and after shopping in Hondori or Hacchobori, you can drop in and enjoy yourself.

It used to be called “Kaisen Hamayaki Oyster House Toyomaru Suisan Hiroshima Hondori Branch”, but when I checked the website for the first time in a while, it was changed to “Kaisen Restaurant Izakaya Toyomaru Suisan Hiroden Hondori Station Branch”.
I’m not sure, but maybe they changed the direction a little? I don’t know…

They have a 120-minute all-you-can-eat oyster plan including “Oyster Hamayaki ★ 120 minutes all-you-can-eat plan for 2980 yen (excluding tax)”.

Oyster House Sakanaya Dojo Hiroshima Tatemachi Branch (Tatemachi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima )

An izakaya-style restaurant. You can enjoy a relaxing meal in a calm Japanese-style restaurant with private rooms with sunken kotatsu, private rooms with tatami mats, and private rooms with tables. You can enjoy various oyster dishes such as grilled oysters and steamed oyster dishes, as well as sashimi and sushi of fresh fish. Located in the downtown area in the center of the city, it is a good place to stop by on your way home from sightseeing or shopping in the city.

Japanese Izakaya: Oyster Hiyokko Shoten (Yagenbori, Naka-ku, Tokyo)

The location is in an area called “Yagenbori” where many bars and pubs are located. This restaurant itself is an izakaya, but it is a great place to eat well. We recommend the sashimi of fresh fish purchased at the market early in the morning!
All-you-can-eat large oysters from Etajima Nomi are available even during Golden Week. Open from 7 p.m., you can eat even late at night.

Restaurant Oyster Queen (formerly known as 14th Moon) (Hatsukaichi)

A restaurant where you can enjoy oyster barbecue with a view of Miyajima

This restaurant is directly managed by an oyster producer. All seats are at tables with gas stoves, and you can enjoy a seafood buffet including oysters. There is a kids’ corner and a store. The store sells oysters directly and ships them nationwide. The restaurant is located near Miyajima, one of the three most scenic spots in Japan, so it would be fun to visit on the way back from sightseeing at Miyajima.

［Oyster Boat]
Near the A-bomb Dome on the Motoyasu River, which runs through the center of Hiroshima, there were two restaurants called “oyster boats” (“Kana” and “Hiroshima”), where you can float a boat on the river and eat oyster dishes in it.

It was a very nice place in terms of sightseeing, but because the boat drifted away during a typhoon, it was deemed “problematic” and “not permitted” to operate.

I think the restaurant made a lot of efforts in response. In 2014, “KANAWA” reopened in a slightly different location. However, “Hiroshima” is currently closed (although there is talk of reopening).

I once had dinner at Kanawa, and it was very nice with a nice river breeze and atmosphere.
Praying for the revival of “hiroshima,” we would like to introduce “kanawa” to you.

Oyster Boat Kanawa (1F Seto, 2F Waku) (South side of Motoyasu Bridge, Motoyasu River)

Oyster Eating Course” with raw oysters 12,000 yen (tax not included)
“Oyster Grilling Course” including grilled oysters on the shell, earthenware pot, etc. 8,000 yen (tax not included)

This is a long-established oyster boat restaurant. It is located on the Motoyasu River, about a 5-minute walk south of the A-bomb Dome. The price is a little expensive, but you can enjoy various oyster course meals.
