Set Meals & Bento

Looking for an affordable or portable meal in Hiroshima? Whether in the yoshoku (western influenced) or the washoku (traditional) style, what Hiroshima set meals have in common is a distinctly Japanese sense of culinary organization at budget prices. Discover your next bento lunch of wagyu beef over rice and enjoy it on a bench under the autumn leaves along the Motoyasu River. Find a place to sit down in a time-worn, Showa-era restaurant, elbow to elbow with the locals while you enjoy a teishoku set meal featuring a Japanese hamburger steak (hambagu). Eat in or take out Japanese home cooking with our selection.

Mimatsu (味松)

Mimatsu is a long-established eatery in the Kogo area, one of Hiroshima’s most tranquil residential neighborhoods. This restaurant, which dishes out Japanese set meals, has long garnered support from local residents and office workers in the vicinity thanks to the popularity of their generous main course portions and comforting, hearty miso soup. As parking space is limited, it is recommended that one visit via public transport or taxi.

Moment of Joy

Visitors to Mimatsu can enjoy the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese restaurant run by an elderly couple. The menu consists of papers posted on the wall; customers place their orders by orally stating what they want. The food is based on traditional Japanese-style flavors with a casual flair that have been loved by generations of customers, both past and present.
