Suigun No Sato
Fugu / Crab / Other Seafood
Daily seafood catches paired with Hiroshima-brewed sake — dining here is a blissful experience fit for the ancient sea lords of the Seto Inland Sea.
Restaurant Details
Hiroshima boasts numerous seafood specialists, but few can rival the freshness and finesse of Suigun No Sato. Set in a beautifully renovated Japanese folk house in Saijo, Hiroshima’s sake capital, the restaurant immediately impresses with its large tank teeming with live seafood.
Here, "fresh" takes on a new meaning. Daily shipments of fish arrive from all over Japan and are kept live in the aquarium: bungo mackerel from Oita Prefecture, seabream from Nagasaki Prefecture and Hiroshima-caught stonefish and tiger prawns. Follow the lead of other diners and order the squid sashimi prepared ikizukuri-style, served straight from a live catch. Other sashimi like the horse mackerel and melt-in-your-mouth sea urchins are prepared with equal care. Beyond that, order the grilled dishes like delicately seared conger eel, served with a choice of wasabi soy sauce, plum paste or seaweed salt.
But if seafood is the star, vegetables and sake are the runner-ups. Their Kyoto-style obanzai cuisine is where locally grown vegetables take center stage. The restaurant’s location in Saijo means sake options aren’t short of excellent either.
For a more intimate experience, opt for the secluded counter seats away from the main building, offering a hidden gem ambiance.
The restaurant's standard kaiseki course presents an omakase-style dining experience featuring fresh ingredients delivered daily. While the menu changes day-to-day to highlight seasonality, it follows the traditional structure of a Japanese multicourse meal.
