Seasonal Cuisine Nakashima - Hiroshima

Sugoi. Subarashii. Words cannot describe what an experience this restaurant gave to my fiancé and me. The 3 Michelin Star description is exceptional cuisine, worth a special trip. That's exactly how the course went. We are from Canada and have been engaged and this experience strengthens an already incredible experience. The 3 (Non-Koch) staff at the restaurant were all so attentive, asking all night whether we needed anything, fill our tea or water without asking us, explain the dishes and the coating for us. The head server (segnet her heart) spoke a little English, and made an incredible work that felt welcome and kept paced. The entrance is an unreliable door that opens into an incredibly cured and designed wooden interior with the panels and wood carvings on the display. The lighting is bright, but gentle to not be unpleasant. The food will be above all from the cook that is so busy checking the back kitchen, starting on the next course, etc. The staff will wait until you have completed your course before you remove and re-set your place set for the next course. The whole process from the beginning to the end was an artwork, and the focus of the cook was noticeable. Some reviews said that the cook 't nice, was rude, etc., but he concentrated only on his art form. In the end, when the courses were finished, the cook was busy cleaning the counters and the back kitchen, but you can say he relaxed a lot and was more interactive. The food was so good. That's all I can say. Place the depth of taste, order, texture. W. O. W. The menu is almost funny that there is such a simple description of each course if the actual story, work and effort could probably be written behind it until a novel AND the menu changes constantly. You can tell the boss, and the staff is proud to work there and they should be. Finally, you will even get a souvenir from the restaurant made by Chef's father who has a hobby with painting. What added a more personal note. You have to go there when you're in the Hiroshima area. Make sure to book well in advance!

Absolutely fantastic experience. Each of the 9 courses was exceptional and the staff was brilliant. Well recommended and worth every penny. Booked 3 or 4 months in advance via their website that is essential.

Exceptionally, I would come back to Hiroshima to eat here. Food from a 200 years old antique bowl is an experience in itself

Memoriable dinning experience, a visual and delicious treats of all dishes.

The setting is intimate, the care in preparation and presentation impeccable, and the food is absolutely, positively exquisite. What is amazing about all of this is that the preparation and style is simple with the chef selecting the best fish, vegetables, and local ingredients and then letting each shine. The service is attentive and enthusiastic about the food and the serving pieces. We learned more about antique lacquer Japanese bowls in this meal then in any shopping expedition. The same went for each type of fish or vegetable that we ate which enhanced the experience for us. Each broth and sauce was delicate, yet complex and filling. The fish dishes used traditional preparation with the grilled fish being a highlight. The wine/beer/sake pairings were also perfect with a new, local fall release sake option completing the experience.
