Explore the bounty of the Seto Inland Sea at places like Oyster Ship Kanawa and Anago Meishi Ueno. These are some of the foods that the rest of Japan thinks of when they think of Hiroshima, a regional cuisine tied to the seasons, the region's ecological diversity, and the post-war dishes that helped rebuild the city. Our Hiroshima specialties guide zeros in on what makes Hiroshima cuisine distinctive in Japan.

Anago-meshi Ueno Miyajimaguchi Flagship Store (あなごめしうえの宮島口本店)

Anago-meshi Ueno Miyajima-guchi Honten is a long-standing Japanese restaurant established in 1901. It specializes in anago (conger eel) dishes and serves Anago-Meshi, a specialty of Miyajima, along with oysters. This location offers anago-meshi using freshly grilled conger eel in a special recipe. The restaurant also sells takeout anago-meshi lunch boxes.

The Anago-meshi Ueno Miyajima-guchi Honten sells anago-meshi, which can be eaten fresh in the restaurant, and the takeout Anago Meshi Bento is also popular. Usually, after a few hours of being prepared, most boxed lunches become cold, and the rice starts to harden. However, Ueno’s Anago Meshi Bento is deliberately lightly seasoned so the rice absorbs the moisture and flavor of the anago on top, and you can enjoy the same delicious taste even after it has cooled down.
