Try: Momiji manju and chewy nama momiji
Tip: The flagship is a five minute walk from Hiroshima Station and opens every day of the year, an easier momiji manju stop than the Miyajima queues.

Okonomimura stacks more than twenty okonomiyaki counters over three floors in Shintenchi, the block Hiroshima's postwar griddle stalls moved into in 1965.
Try: Hiroshima okonomiyaki
Tip: Every floor is a corridor of griddle counters; pick a stall with locals at it rather than the one nearest the lift.
