Hiroshima, Japan｜Hitoshi

What an amazing experience! Starting from the chic entrance, the entire restaurant was perfectly designed and put together. Seating a total of 6 people at the sushi counter, it provides an intimate setting with you and the chef. They have unique cuts of seafood from start to finish... And the amount of detail that goes into every bite keeps you wanting more. Not only was the food amazing, but despite my lacking Japanese, the staff was patient and spent the time explaining anything I didn't understand. To top it off, they had pictures of fish with both the names in English-romanized Japanese and English which was extremely helpful.

Food is delicious and you get a ton! We had to take leftovers. Well worth the price for a Michelin. Hitoshi and his crew are so sweet. They don’t know a ton of English but try their best. We had a lot of fun speaking nihonglish together. Well worth the experience. 10/10 recommend. All 6 of us were constantly saying “mmm” after every bite.”

Hitoshi was absolutely great. The fish was fresh and every dish was unique in its own way. The chef and staff didn't speak any English but they all were extremely kind and tried to explain to us what we were eating. It was a lovely experience. It definitely deserves its Michelin 🌟!
