"Okonomiyaki Haven: Exploring Hiroshima's Unique Cuisine"


When you think of Hiroshima, a foodie's paradise may not be the first thing that comes to mind. However, on a recent trip, I discovered that Hiroshima can be a delight for food lovers! My wandering feet, accompanied by two friends, took us to an okonomiyaki haven in the heart of downtown Hiroshima City.

Okonomiyaki is a popular pan or flat-top grilled dish made with batter, eggs, cabbage, and an array of other ingredients. In fact, the toppings vary so greatly that it's reflected in the dish's name; "okonomi" which literally means "to one's liking." It's a well-known dish throughout Japan, but it's especially popular in cities like Osaka and Hiroshima, the latter being the location in today's video.

After indulging in this mouth-watering and finger-licking treat, we set out to explore the vibrant nightlife area of Nagarekawacho. Comprised of numerous restaurants, bars, and izakayas, it reminded me of a smaller, cleaner, and less shady version of Tokyo's Kabukicho district, minus the red-light component!

As you'll see in the video, Nagarekawacho is a lively area that attracts locals and visitors alike, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a fun night out in Hiroshima. I hope you enjoy the video and get inspired to visit Hiroshima and experience its delicious food and vibrant nightlife for yourself!
