Basics
- Fee：All prices include tax and cards are accepted. Grilled oysters are 1,500 yen for two. Set meals run from 2,000 yen (fried chicken) to 4,400 yen, with conger eel over rice at 2,900 and oyster rice at 1,600. For a child who will not eat oysters or eel there is curry rice at 1,000, tempura udon at 1,200, zaru soba at 900, fried chicken at 950, chips at 700, a bowl of rice at 500, miso soup at 400, two rice balls at 650 and ice cream at 600. Any udon can be swapped for soba and any soba for udon. Prices for raw oysters differ between two places on the menu page, so check the board in the shop.■■■
- Hours：10:30-17:00, last orders 16:30, closed on Wednesdays. This is a lunchtime place; it does not open in the evening. The hours can change with the season, so if you will be arriving close to last orders, ring 0829-44-0335 first. Unscheduled closures are announced on the shop's LINE account.■■
- Time to allow：60 min
- Booking：Nothing on the site explains how to reserve a table, so treat this as a place you queue for. At busy times the line runs outside; with 86 seats it takes about 15 minutes on average to get in. When you join the line, follow the side lane and stand at the back so you do not block the neighbouring shops' doorways. Grilled oysters are only started once you order, and take a further 15 minutes to reach the table - the 15 minutes outside and the 15 minutes inside are two different waits.■■■Official booking site ↗

The shop opened in 1948 and says it was the first in Japan to serve grilled oysters. It buys only three-year Jigozen oysters, and starts grilling after you order, so the plate reaches the table about fifteen minutes later. When the line forms, you join the back of it along the side lane; with 86 seats, the wait outside averages fifteen minutes. Seating is tables or a tatami room. A child who will not eat oysters can have curry, udon, chips or ice cream.

| Stroller access notesExtra info — guide only | Yes | The shop is about 8 minutes on foot from Miyajima pier, halfway along the Omotesando shopping street. Crossing to the island costs a 100 yen visitor tax per person per trip on top of the boat fare, added to the ticket by the ferry company; pre-school children are exempt. When the line is long you wait on the street with the stroller, and the seating inside includes a tatami room. Nothing is stated about a changing table, a nursing room or where to leave a stroller. | Web-checked | checked Aug ’26 | yakigaki-no-hayashi.co.jpcity.hatsukaichi.hiroshima.jp |
