Nakashima
Naka-ku, Hiroshima, Japan
A Yoshino cypress counter and carefully chosen ceramics set the scene at Nakashima. Seasonal Japanese cooking draws on local ingredients, with the meal unfolding at a shared starting time rather than through an à la carte menu. Eight counter seats keep the experience intimate; a separate table accommodates a small group. This is an evening to reserve well ahead and enjoy at the restaurant's pace, with dietary needs discussed before arrival.
