Lopez in Hiroshima is run by a Guatemalan okonomiyaki cook in Kusunoki-cho, and the jalapenos on the griddle are the reason people cross town.

TipThe counter is small, opens only in the evening from 16:30 and shuts all weekend, so plan a weeknight visit.

Chukasoba Youki has cooked one dish in Eba since 1958, and its soy and pork-bone bowl is exactly what Hiroshima people mean when they say chuka soba.
OrderChuka soba, the only thing the kitchen makes
TipThe Eba flagship shuts on the 1st, 12th, 13th and 26th of each month, so check the date before crossing the river.
Musashibo serves Hiroshima's broth-free tantanmen a short walk from the Chudenmae tram stop, ordered by vending machine and graded by heat at no extra cost.
OrderShirunashi tantanmen, stirred thirty times before eating
TipHeat runs on a four-step scale with level two as the house standard, and stepping up costs nothing extra.
