Kakiya (牡蠣屋)

Hiroshima is famous for Oysters. We saw on many blogs and was told by locals that Kakiya in Miyajima is worth a visit.

Sign outisde the restaurant.

They are known for their grilled oysters.

Never really had grilled oysters before. It was good, but I still prefer raw oysters! (Raw oyster season starts in late October)

Kaki-Teishoku

Fried, in rice, miso soup and marinated in oil... everything oyster! After raw oysters, I love kaki-fry or fried oyster. Yum.

After our meal, we saw this antique shaved-ice machine with blocks of ice. It was so appealing, I had to eat one.

The ice was incredibly soft, fluffy and just dissolved in your mouth. Huge difference than an automatic ice shaver.

We had the homemade lemon syrup. It wasn't too sweet and the peel had a nice bitterness. It was so refreshing and cleared the oyster aftertaste. 

I was curious of how their strawberry syrup tasted like, so we went back for seconds. When will I next encounter an antique ice-shaver? Couldn't resist!

Gorgeous weather, the ocean & a sweet treat. Heaven.
