Izakaya, Yakitori & Night Dining

This is what to eat for dinner in Hiroshima while enjoying local beers, sake and spirits. Bite into genuine A5 kuroge wagyu beef grilled over binchotan coals at a Japanese BBQ restaurant with a Hiroshima-grown lemon sour. Find a local izakaya to explore a series of small dishes made to share around the table with locally crafted sake. Next get your protein fix served on a skewer at a neighborhood yakitori shop. Toast the evening with a refreshing hassaku citrus craft beer after a day exploring the city. Our night dining breakdown follows the latest trends and traditional standbys.

Motsunabe Tashu Hiroshima Branch Store (もつ鍋田しゅう　広島店)

Located on a back street just north of Hondori Shopping Street, it’s conveniently located for a stop in between sightseeing in Hiroshima. You can choose from four different dinner courses at different prices or order a la carte; you can also add an all-you-can-drink option to your course.

NOTE: This restaurant charges ¥330 for an “otoshi (お通し),” which acts as an appetizer and admission fee in one.
