Steak Aohige (ステーキ青ひげ)

Situated just two minutes away on foot from Hondori Station, Steak Aohige is a famous steak restaurant that represents Hiroshima. Since it is immediately accessible from tourist spots like Hondori or the Atomic Bomb Dome, customers ranging from residents of Hiroshima to tourists visiting the city frequent the restaurant in great numbers. Inside the store, marbled, thick-cut, fine quality steaks such as the local brand “Hiroshima-gyu Sirloin” are heartily grilled and enjoyed by patrons. Other popular items besides meat include grilled seafood dishes like oysters, as well as grilled vegetables.

Moment of Joy

True to its name, at Steak Aohige, one can feast on all sorts of Hiroshima cuisine. “Hiroshima-gyu,” the brand of beef from the area, is an obvious choice, but there is a slew of items that cannot be enjoyed outside of Hiroshima, such as Hiroshima oysters or “uni-houren (sea urchin on spinach),” a local gourmet dish that has proudly garnered a cult following. What’s more, there is a rich lineup of alcoholic beverages, from local sake to Hiroshima wine and Setouchi whiskey produced in Hatsukaichi City, that diners can pair with their meals.
