Western Honshu Restaurants

Western Honshu Restaurant Reviews

Western Honshu is one of the best regions to sample local Japanese seafood, with regional specialties from the Nihon-kai (Japan Sea) and Seto Nai-kai (Inland Sea). The oysters in Hiroshima, sea eel on Miyajima, and sashimi and sushi on the San-in coast are all superb. Matsue's location means that a variety of both freshwater and saltwater fish are available. Most reasonably priced restaurants have a visual display of the menu in the window, if not photos on the menu pages. If you cannot order in Japanese and no English is spoken, after you secure a table, lead the waiter to the window display and point. If you're adventurous, it is always fun to ask, "Osusume?" which means, "(What do you) recommend?"
