HIROSHIMAYAKI, Hiroshima style pancakes
Hiroshimayaki has been a casual dish for the people in Hiroshima since old days. A great number of restaurants specializing in this dish can be found everywhere in Hiroshima.

ANAGO SEA EEL or CONGER FISH
I have been a big fan of Anago sushi since I was a kid. Having a grilled ANAGO sea eel was one of my exciting events in Hiroshima. I had lunch at Fujitaya in Miyajima, known as one of the three most beautiful scenic spots in Japan and ate a Bento box of Ueno in the Shinkansen bullet train. My verdict? UENO was better! But both were nice in deed!

OYSTERs
When it comes to oysters called KAKI in Japan, Hiroshima is one of the most famous place. More than half of Japanese oysters are being cultured and produced here.Oysters come into season in November. They are available over the course of a winter! When are you planning to go to Hiroshima? If it is in winter, oysters are waiting for you!
MOMIJI MANJU - A maple-leaf -shaped sponge cake –
”Freshly-cooked one is a must to try!!” recommended by my senior whom I travelled with. The word of mouth power is always strong. It cost only 100 yen served with a glass of cold tea at Fujiya. So cheap! As I was tired walking around, it was a perfect snack for me. Nowadays they are stuffed with a variety of ingredients such as red bean paste, chocolate, etc. MOMIJI MANJU are the most famous sweets in Hiroshima!
★★★★★FUJIIYA 藤い屋本店 located in the Omotesando shopping Arcade near Itsukushima Shrine, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Miyajima. *Faster to ask local people 
Address: 1129 Miyajimacho, Hatsukaichi city.
SHAKUSHI SENBEI - A paddle-shaped crackers –
Basically these paddles are used as rice scoops, but here in Miyajima, there are paddles with prayers written on them for such things as your safety. Paddle-shaped crackers are as popular as Momiji Manju. These snacks can be purchased at major gift shops. Unlike Momiji Manju, these snacks last longer, which is good for you to bring them back to your country!
Having local delights is one of the most enjoyable & important factors to increace the quality of travel. I think most Japanese think in the same way.
Have fun munching! & Explore Japan!
