Many travelers return to get a sweet taste of Hiroshimayaki, a type of okonomiyaki.

There are other foods, such as oysters, a specialty in the Setouchi area, anagomeshi (eel rice), Onomichi ramen, navy curry from Kure, and horumon tempura.
We recommend sipping on some wine at Hiroshima Miyoshi Winery, shown at 4:19 in the video.
