Overview

Discover the soul of Hiroshima through its most beloved comfort food on this private, fully customizable food tour led by a friendly government-licensed local guide. Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki is unlike any other in Japan: delicate layers of thin batter, a mountain of cabbage, springy yakisoba noodles, egg, pork and a glossy sweet-and-savory sauce, all grilled to order on a sizzling teppan right in front of you. Your guide takes you to the heart of the local food scene, helps you choose the perfect stall, explains each ingredient and the proud history behind this regional specialty, and handles the ordering so you can simply relax and eat like a local. Because this is a private experience for your group only, the pace is entirely yours. Ask all the questions you like and let your guide tailor the day to your tastes. More than just a meal, it is a warm, personal welcome to Hiroshima.
