Wasai-tei Jiromaru
Hiroshima’s best sought after ingredients from all four seasons at this elevated Japanese restaurant.
Wasai-tei Jiromaru is a refined Japanese restaurant dedicated to pursuing true “deliciousness,” with dishes crafted mainly from carefully selected Hiroshima-grown ingredients. The kitchen uses natural groundwater drawn from 700 meters underground, while the rice is Hakuryu Lake Rice sourced from contracted local farmers, and vegetables are purchased directly from trusted growers who practice compost-rich cultivation.
The seasonal flavors are nothing but true, exceptional delicacies thanks to the meticulous preparation of each chef. Many know this stop for its acclaimed Hiroshima specialty Bishonabe (sake hot pot), available only for half the year starting in October as a truly coveted seasonal experience.
The serene atmosphere blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with a modern sense of refinement, offering a space well-suited for special occasions. The artful presentation of each dish reflects attention to beauty in every detail. Private rooms are available in both table and horigotatsu (sunken floor) styles, allowing guests to choose according to group size and purpose.
