  • “There is more to Hiroshima than just the sad history...“
    August 6th is the day the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 during WW2.
    I believe many of you know about this historical event.
    However I always feel a little sad when every time I tell someone “I grew up in Hiroshima,” they would look at me with a sad face and say “I’m sorry for what happened.” Hiroshima is responsible for remembering and carrying on the tragic memories and damages of the A-bomb, but that is only one side of Hiroshima.
    So today, as a man who grew up in Hiroshima, I would like to introduce five unique local things that you can enjoy when you travel to my hometown! The five things I will be introducing do not include the places related to the A-bomb on purpose, so you can get to know a different side of Hiroshima. I also will be counting down the five things by my personal recommendation, so I hope you can enjoy this video till the end!
    This video will definitely make you add Hiroshima to one of your destinations upon traveling to Japan, and for those of you who are already planning to come, you will be able to fully enjoy the journey.

    Whenever I tell someone that “I grew up in Hiroshima,” many people would look sad and say “I’m sorry…”
    Preserving and passing on the memories of the horrifying wars and the a-bomb is one of Hiroshima’s duties in this world, but that’s not the only characteristic of my home town.
    This video will absolutely make you want to visit Hiroshima on your next visit to Japan!

      Unfortunately you probably won't, but I will warn you that you won't be able to see enough in one visit. I would have to spend years in Japan if I wanted to explore it fully. Unfortunately it sounds like their borders have been pretty tight thanks to Covid and I think Shogo even covored why they might use covid to keep things this way.

    Me: "Kagura... Why does that sound so familiar..."
    Shogo: "By the way... [Insert Gintama reference here]"
    Me: "Ah. Yep, that's why."
    So, it's a ritual about devotion to gods. I'll try to remember that for when I encounter other characters with that name. (Also: Surreptitously putting Hiroshima on my list of places to visit.)

    • @DraftBarley
      @DraftBarley 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@wayneho6458 you only get food poisoning from bad or questionable oysters. The naturally detox their environment and if you make sure they are in clean water before consumed you'll be fine. I dont doubt in other countries they are and here in America they are heavily regulated. Restaurants are also required in SC to keep tags of oysters they sell in case anything does happen.

    Shogo, until about WWII, lobster and oysters were thought of as peasant food in the US. In fact, lobster was common in prisons and the prisoners complained that having to eat it was "cruel and unusual punishment." Now in the US, they are prized foods and are prepared in many different ways. Thanks for your perspectives on Hiroshima!

    When I lived in Japan, my friends and I visited Hiroshima during Haruyasumi as part of a roving vacation from Hiroshima to Kyoto, on to Tokyo before returning home in Kanazawa. On the first day we visited the A Bomb museum and the next day we went to Miyajima. The day spent at the island was incredibly calming and peaceful, especially in light of the intensity of the day before. We walked up the entire mountain on foot and greatly enjoyed the beautiful landscape and shrines, though we did take the rope way back down. I must full heartedly agree that if you visit Hiroshima, then a visit to Miyajima is a must. Hiroshima was a beautiful and wonderful place to start our vacation and I cannot wait to return someday.

    In my native country (the Netherlands) oysters are quite commonly eaten among people with over average income.
    The reason why they’re eaten frequently here is because there is a lot of fishing, especially in the provinces Zeeland, Noord & Zuid-Holland, and Friesland

We ate at the okonomiyaki building, got the maple manju fresh (but I was chased by a deer who wanted a bite) and even saw a tortoise escaping a bar on Nagerakawa (I'm not kidding).

    In San Francisco, oysters are a big part of our local seafood scene. Raw, or "oysters on the half-shell" are served all over the place but the two most common are "oyster bars" which are kind of like a sushi bar but with an American style and that serves all kinds of "catch of the day" cooked seafood dishes. The other, are bars. Many drinking establishments in San Francisco serve oysters as a "Happy Hour" offering. "Happy Hour" is traditionally very early in the evening at about the time people get off work between roughly 5pm and 7pm and sometimes as late as 8. $1 Oyster Happy Hours are typical offering.

    I went to Hiroshima back in 2019 and would absolutely recommended it. Also i would visit the town of Kure just outside of Hiroshima, home of the Yamamato super battleship and JSDF navy museum. It was my first mainland japan destination and is truly underrated

    The ropeway's great but if you can make the time (and are fit enough) do the whole walk from the base to the peak of Misen. The whole walk is great.

    Yaaassss first topic is good 😋 about oysters in Latvia there’s some places where you can order them or just buy them yourself and make at home but I never tried them. I don’t think that I want to try them either bc of the possibility to get sick easily as I heard 😅 though I ate oyster creamy soup that was really delicious 🤤

    ya
    when i went to Hiroshima, i already did my research on the bomb history
    Hadashi no Gen was where I started and then i read some other stuff from there because my literature class was speculative fiction. Many of the material we read were about post apocalypse nuclear disasters. So hiroshima was a scaled-down, real-world understanding of such things.
    What i really liked was the city. they had a lot of things there. especially the okonomiyaki.
    i like the osaka okonomiyaki but my favorite is the hiroshima style okonomiyaki.
    Its kinda like kyoto in a sense. people expect one thing but the teramachi arcades are better than a lot of places in tokyo. they had a manga store & game center. I could live there.
    same idea with hiroshima. i only spent a day there but i'd probably enjoy living there more than tokyo. They had everything i needed and the city is similar to my hometown. they even have street cars like in my own hometown. my friend is working as a teacher there but he was someone who wanted to be in kobe or osaka. i was so jealous when he got assigned there to work.

    Shogo, thanks for this look at Hiroshima. A couple of comments:
    1. I would love to eat Hiroshima style okonomiyaki. It looks great.
    2. Here in the US, oysters are very popular. I like the fried oysters best.
    3. I don't like bean paste either. I am glad that momiji manju are made with other creams.
    4. Ookunoshima looks nice. I think it's appropriate that rabbits live on the island since
    they suffered there from human cruelty.
    5. I would definitely go to Hiroshima. I think it's a beautiful city and I would also
    visit the memorials as well. We need to remember that day in 1945 so that it will
    NEVER happen again!

    13:55 I've been to that torii gate. Also been to the top of Mt Misen. It was during a port visit in 04 or 05 and the guys I was with underestimated the climb. We made it all the way to the top, but by the time we got there everyone was closed and we had to also walk all the way down. At least now though I can say I have climb to the top of a mountain starting all the way from sea level.

    Love going to Hiroshima! I’ve taken my students to Japan, and I always try and include Hiroshima in my trips. We’ve done almost all of the things you’ve mentioned except visit the bars. My students are in high school so we can’t go. We’ve also never visited the rabbit island, must keep it in mind if we have extra time during our trip next year. We’ve visited Miyajima but have never had time to do the hike up the mountain. 😢Oh, and the Kagura I thought of wasn’t the one you mentioned, it was the one from InuYasha, although I know which one you mean. I’ve only seen a few episodes of Gintama. Sorry! 😅 Anyway, thank you for this video! I always enjoy them!

    Where I am from, Cape Cod in Massachusetts, which is a place where people love oysters with a passion. Every year, there is an oyster fest that goes on, and although it always smells... interesting, it is a joy to go eat oysters and meet new people. Also I just wanted to say, that this channel is by far one of my favorites and I hope I can go to Japan someday. :)

    The Hiroshima style okonomiyaki I had in Miyajima was unbelievable. Even for where and how it was prepared and served (sort of home kitchen by an old lady very fond of baseball (yakyu)). There is alse the third okonomiyaki style: the Tokyo one (more monjiyaki).
    One attraction you did not mention in Hiroshima is"PizzaRiva! Is one of the best place anywhere for pizza! The owner (and his father) won a Pizza Olympics" in Naples, where they trained, against local and foreigner "pizzaioli". I have been there three times, and every time a wonderful experience.

    Now I have a reason to go back! My first trip, three years ago, was solely related to the A-bomb. And was not a comfortable experience, to be honest. It would be nice to return just to relax and enjoy the place.

    In western canada you can often find raw-oysters at restaurants, but mostly just during certain seasons or based on availability. In Vancouver there is one restaurant with a famous oyster bar (where the oyster shuckers were often top world competitors) called Joe Fortes. It's been around for ages.
    We have this rule about eating raw oysters, which refers to the 'red-tide' phenomenon. It's easy to remember, only eat raw oysters in months with an 'r'.

    Just because you asked, Shogo-san, in Italy and France we eat them raw with no sauces or else. Some might dip them in a vinegar & onion sauce but there’re so many varieties that we prefer to eat them as they are to better enjoy the different flavors. I’d like to try them deep fried or grilled. Enjoyed beautiful scenery of Hiroshima. Thanks for sharing.

    Usually oysters in France are a delicacy for the end of the year festivities (Christmas Eve or New Years Eve) and usually a seasonal gourmet from what I remember. You can find them through the year, but usually it is kept for special events (because it is pricey).

    Too late. Already been to Hiroshima. I visited the Peace Memorial Park, rang the bell, saw the dome (architected by my countryman Jan Letzel), visited the Peace Memorial Museum (that was really hard and emotionally overwhelming in the negative sense).
    I didn’t get to see anything outside the city center, as it was just one day visit on our way back from Fukuoka, but it was unforgettable.

    I've tried the 3 of them , I love Hiroshima style okonomiyaki and there's also a variety of momiji manju which is fried (age-manju). In Spain it's very common to eat raw oysters with some drops of lemon. Indeed momiji-manju is a very common omiage in Japan if you go to Hiroshima. I have been in Nagarekawa without knowing it, my favourite place to walk around is the shotengai of Hondori which is not so far.
