[Hiroshima Prefecture] "Mametanuki" where you can enjoy delicious conger eel rice, a Miyajima specialty

Miyajima in Aki, home to Hiroshima's World Heritage site Itsukushima Shrine

The specialties of Miyajima are oysters and conger eel rice

A popular restaurant where you can enjoy these specialties is "Miyajima Anagomeshi Mametanuki" in Miyajima's Omotesando shopping arcade

Look for the charming raccoon sign

It is located on the first floor of Kinsuikan, where weddings and other events are held

As it is a popular restaurant and generally does not accept reservations, it is recommended that you line up early for lunch and get on the waiting list

The most popular dish is the combination set of conger eel and fried oysters,

but this time we simply ordered conger eel rice (with small side dishes, pickles, seasonings, etc.) I tried the dish (2500 yen, with miso soup)

This conger eel is luxuriously made with two eels, seasoned with a special sauce

It has a fluffy, melting texture and is sweet and rich,

It goes well with rice cooked with Koshihikari rice from Hiroshima Prefecture

The inside of the restaurant is like a maze, and although it seems quite narrow, it is surprisingly spacious deep inside

During lunch, there are 10 counter seats and 96 table seats open

The restaurant also serves dinner, and you can enjoy local Hiroshima sake and a la carte dishes
