Kakiya
牡蠣屋
An oyster specialist on Omotesando shopping street in Miyajima. Grilled oysters, fried oysters, oyster rice and oil-preserved oysters are all available in one place.
An oyster specialist in the middle of Omotesando shopping street on Miyajima, about a 7-minute walk from the Miyajima pier. Shell oysters are grilled over high heat at the storefront. The signature Kakiya Teishoku set includes six items: oyster rice, fried oysters, grilled oysters, oil-preserved oysters, oyster red miso soup and tsukudani. Other dishes such as oyster gratin are available à la carte. The restaurant extends to the second floor and has plenty of seating, making it a good place to rest while exploring the shrine. It has no regular closing day. It closes early once the oysters sell out, and lunch in peak season involves a queue. The set costs about 2,600 yen, and grilled oysters can be ordered individually.
Opening hours
10:00-18:00 (varies by season; closes when sold out); open year-round, no regular closing day
