If youāre looking for a recommendation for a delicious and affordable western-style breakfast in Hiroshima, I can happily and wholeheartedly recommend Hiroshima Breakfast! Itās a little place (four bar seats and four two-tops) thatās owned and run by an Australian fella named Jay. Heās usually on his own (though his wife sometimes comes in to help out), so sometimes some things might take a bit longer than they mightāve elsewhere - but for those who arenāt hangry or otherwise in a hurry it is absolutely worth it. Jay is a lovely person; warm, kind, quick, funny, and friendly. Itās obvious from watching him work that he loves what heās doing and from the very first taste that heās damned good at doing it. His ingredients are excellent and carefully sourced, his recipes are clever and original, and his dishes and drinks are delicious. The whole package is a labor of love. My partner and I were only in Hiroshima for two days and we ended up having breakfast at his spot both mornings. I look back on those mornings sitting at the bar, chatting happily with Jay over his genius English muffin breakfast sandwich and perfectly-poured long black as two of my favorite experiences of the whole damned two-week trip. Canāt recommend it highly enough. Canāt wait...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreDrop by Hiroshima Breakfast for a delicious Western-style breakfast and fantastic conversation. My partner and I had breakfast here twice during our stay in Hiroshima, and it was the best breakfast we had in our entire two-week trip to Japan. Itās currently a one-man show, so be sure to leave yourself some extra time, but itās a lovely place to hang out and enjoy a home-cooked breakfast made with love. The space is light and airy, the music is good, the food is superb, and the owner is a delight to chat with as he goes about his tasks. From the first bite, itās obvious heās spent time crafting each dish to be as good as it can possibly be, and I picked up a few tricks that Iām going to use in my own breakfasts when I get home. He even makes his own hot sauce and drink syrups! I would give Hiroshima Breakfast ten...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreJay was super nice and the food was incredible. Egg and bacon wrap was insanely good and my wife LOVED the french toast. He's a pro that takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows in his cooking. Worth going for the food and drinks alone but Jay should also consider a second gig as a tour guide, if you're visiting he will give you all the tips and tricks to make your stay in Hiroshima even better. Thank you Jay, we hope to be back soon. Edit: Forgot the most important part! Get your off menu Vegemite toast...
