Hiroshima Oyster Festival
Festival
A celebration of Hiroshima Bay's oyster harvest, produced in a region responsible for a large share of Japan's total oyster output.
7 FEB
Hiroshima, Japan
Hiroshima Bay produces a substantial share of Japan's total oyster harvest, a tradition dating back centuries, and this winter festival celebrates the peak of the season with grilled and raw oysters served throughout the festival grounds.
Local restaurants and oyster farmers set up stalls offering the bay's oysters prepared in a range of styles, from simple grilled preparations to more elaborate dishes, giving visitors a genuine taste of one of Japan's most significant but internationally under-recognised seafood traditions.
