Why Travelers Love Hiroshima specialty
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
A popular chain restaurant that specializes in oyster, Specialty Ouster First is conveniently located in the same building housing all the Okonomi Yaki restaurants. I came on a Saturday at 13:30 but there was still a line. Obviously you can make a reservation but I did not have one. I managed to secure a spot for one in less than 40 minutes so it wasn’t bad. The ¥1500 set is perfect for one. The warm oysters were fresh and full of umami juice. Absolutely delicious. Plus they were really big. The raw oysters I ordered were also fresh despite being smaller. The flavor is more intense, good with bubbly The waiter was nice and could speak English. I was offered a complimentary pastry at checkout, which I believed was a local 名物 FOOD 4 Variety of different grilled and raw oyster concoctions and drinks at reasonable prices. SERVICE 4 Friendly and quick. ATMOSPHERE 3 Not much of an atmosphere to speak of. OVERALL 4 I would return! A restaurant specializing on oysters. Located at the first floor of Okonomiyaki-mura, this resto was packed all the time. They serve both raw and grilled oyster with different styles and sauces at a super reasonable price. Other than the oysters, they also have menus you would find in an izakaya, making it a good place if you want to eat until you are full. The staff was nice and the service were quick 10/10 goated oyster place

If you are an oyster enthusiast, you must want to try this awesome restaurant. Basically the oysters are cooked by, raw, grilled and fried, 3 ways. No matter you choose which way of cooking, you will definitely love it.
