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.

Kunimatsu (くにまつ)

Kunimatsu is a restaurant specializing in soupless Dandan noodles, which are becoming a new specialty in Hiroshima. “Soupless Dandan noodles” have a ratio of soup to noodles that is about 1:3. It is a unique style of Chinese cuisine where the soup and noodles are mixed and eaten together, and the spicy-yet-umami soup is very appealing. The soup’s spiciness can be selected from zero to 1X, 2X, 3X, and 4X, along with the even spicier KUNIMAX (extremely hot) and Death Max (super hot).

The charm of Kunimatsu is that you can choose the spiciness of the soup and the toppings to suit your own taste. If it is too spicy, you can add toppings such as onsen tamago (Hot Spring Eggs) to mellow the flavor. The secret to the spiciness of Kunimatsu’s soup is the use of Chinese spices, such as Sichuan and Sansho pepper. The spices are blended in a perfect balance to give the soup a distinct spicy aftertaste.
