If you love spicy food, Hiroshima has three local noodle dishes for you: Hiroshima Oyster Ramen (Red), Soupless Tantanmen and Hiroshima Tsukemen. You can try all three near Miyajima at Hiroshima Ramen Momiji, at the ferry terminal.

Fresh Hiroshima oysters in a rich broth with a mild chili kick. Spicy, but the oysters stay the star (¥1,780).

Cold noodles dipped into a spicy sauce. A good choice on warm days.
