What is Hiroshima Oyster Ramen?
It brings together two things Hiroshima is famous for: its oysters and its regional ramen. As the oysters warm in the hot broth they add natural sweetness and umami, so the soup tastes rich without being fishy. Hiroshima Oyster Ramen was certified as a Miyajima local ramen by the Japan Ramen Association in 2025. Even people who do not usually eat oysters often find it easy to enjoy.
Why Hiroshima oysters?
Hiroshima is Japan’s largest oyster-producing region. The calm waters of Hiroshima Bay in the Seto Inland Sea, fed by nutrients from nearby rivers, produce oysters that are:
- Large and plump
- Naturally sweet
- Rich in umami
- Creamy and tender
Fresh oysters are at their best from autumn through winter, but Oyster Ramen is on the menu year-round.
White or Red: which should you choose?
Hiroshima Oyster Ramen (White)
Fresh Hiroshima oysters in a creamy miso tonkotsu broth, with vegetables and thick, chewy noodles. Smooth, full-bodied and mild. The best choice for a first try. ¥1,780 (tax included, as of October 2026).
Hiroshima Oyster Ramen (Red)
The same oyster-rich base with carefully balanced chili spice. Bold and savory with a mild kick that brings out the richness of the oysters. ¥1,780.
- Choose White if you like creamy soups, miso flavor and a mild, comforting bowl.
- Choose Red if you like mild spice and bold flavors.
- Really love oysters? Bakugaki Oyster Ramen comes loaded with 10 oysters (¥2,480).
Make it an oyster lunch
Add a side of Kaki Fry (crispy breaded Hiroshima oysters, 5 pieces for ¥1,180) to taste Hiroshima oysters two ways in one meal. For other bowls on the menu, see the Hiroshima Ramen Guide.
Before or after Miyajima?
The restaurant is at Miyajimaguchi, so it fits either way: a filling bowl before you board, or a warm finish after a day at Itsukushima Shrine, the floating torii gate and Mount Misen. See Best Lunch Near Miyajima for planning tips.
