Kiyochan — Restaurant in Hiroshima

We were desperate for some tasty ramen and short on time. We found this tiny place run by a delightful man on his own in the most “rustic” of all kitchenettes all prepared in full sight as you sit at a bar with only about 6 seats. The chef cooks and moves like he’s dancing! He blow torched our slice of pork to give them a BBQ finish. The ramen was so good I couldn’t believe it. The stock was light but full of flavour. The Gyozas were also perfect. I can’t recommend this little place enough. If the Japanese accepted tips, I would have 100% given him a big one. The menu prices are so reasonable, I wish we could have returned. Best Ramen I had during my 3 week Japan...

This tucked away small ramen shop with about 6 seats deserves way more praise than what is possible to give. Came as a couple and oddly enough we were alone in the restaurant during our entire meal. And it truly shows that they have mastered the art of Hiroshima style ramen over the course of 3 generations. Absolutely amazing. We had a wonderful time speaking with him, who spoke surprisingly good English compared to many Japanese. Would give more than 5 stars if possible and will definitely...

Right outside of a busy shopping area you can find this hidden gem. Seating about 5 people, it is easy to miss so keep an eye out for the red flags/decorations. They had a simple menu with many of the items with English translation. I ordered the Chinese dumpling ramen while my husband ordered the special ramen. It was quick, delicious, and like a hug. I believe they only take cash but we paid about 2,350 yen for both of our meals. It was the right price and delicious. Highly recommend...
