If you visit Miyajima, you should definitely stop by "Kakiya," an oyster restaurant. Located just a short walk from Itsukushima Shrine along the Omotesando shopping arcade, you can enjoy fresh Hiroshima oysters, caught that morning, prepared in a variety of ways. The interior of the restaurant has a modern and sophisticated atmosphere, and there is a spacious space where you can relax and enjoy your meal.

The signature dish at Kakiya is the fragrant "grilled oysters." The rich, plump flavor of the oysters is concentrated in these oysters, making them a simple yet delicious dish. There are also plenty of other dishes that oyster lovers will love, such as "fried oysters" covered in a crispy batter, "oyster gratin" with a rich flavor, and "oyster rice" with oyster broth. For those who don't like oysters, there are other dishes such as conger eel rice.

To go with the dishes, the owner also offers a wide selection of local Hiroshima sake carefully selected to go with the dishes, as well as wines that go well with oysters.

The nearby Miyajima Hanayashiki and Yakigaki no Hayashi are also popular restaurants.

[Trivia]
At the oyster restaurant, each oyster is carefully hand-washed and hygiene is thoroughly managed. One of the reasons for its popularity is that you can enjoy fresh oysters without worry.

[Useful points of concern]
As it is a popular restaurant, it can get very crowded, especially at lunchtime, on weekends, and during the tourist season, and you may have to wait for a long time.
Queues and sold-outs are common, so if you want to eat a must-try, be careful not to visit in the afternoon.
