Yaki Gaki no Hayashi has tantalized tastebuds for over 75 years with the succulence of grilled oysters at this shop perched midway along Miyajima Omotesando Shopping Street, between the ferry terminal and Itsukushima Shrine.

Known as the birthplace of "Yaki Gaki" (grilled oysters), this restaurant uses only the finest local "Jigozen Oysters”, craft selected from the meatiest, tastiest bites among a 3-year-old catch.
Each oyster is meticulously grilled to order for 15-20 minutes, unlocking the best of rich, full flavor. Oyster fans from around the world will be happy to know that the stable temperatures of the Seto Inland Sea mean fresh oysters from this region are safe to eat year-round. The menu also offers a variety of other oyster dishes, including fried oysters, oyster rice bowls, and tempura, which pairs well with local sake. Another local specialty, "Anagomeshi" (conger eel rice), is another crowd favorite, joining the cohort of varied set meals featuring oysters and anago to fit your taste.

As one of the most popular spots on Omotesando Shopping Street, it often draws crowds, but the large seating capacity—comprising both table and tatami seating (to be replaced by bench seating in 2024)—ensures relatively short wait times.

    When you come to Miyajima, you can't miss the famous local oysters. You can find oyster dishes everywhere along the street, but the thing I wanted to try most was freshly grilled oysters. Large oysters are placed over charcoal, and as the steam rises, their aroma spreads through the air.

    The grilled oyster shells are lightly charred, and when you open them, the oysters inside are plump and juicy. They taste fresh and sweet with a hint of the sea, and they're delicious simply grilled. Holding them piping hot while strolling around Miyajima and eating local food feels especially satisfying.

    Miyajima has deer, ocean views, and streets full of oysters that make you want to stop and try them. This fresh taste also became part of this

    Oysters are one of Miyajima's specialties. They're plump, and their aroma fills the air as they're grilled, making it hard not to stop when you pass by the shop. The grilled oysters are lightly charred on the outside and tender and juicy when you bite into them. They have a rich ocean flavor and natural saltiness without being overly fishy or greasy. They left me wanting more!
