Onomichi is known for its nostalgic and quaint streets that retain the old and good Japanese atmosphere. Strolling through the castle town selected as an important traditional building preservation area is like traveling through time. In a corner of such a small path, there is a lovely cafe called 'おのせん'.
The recommended menu at 'おのせん' is their 'Broth-Flavored Curry'. The fragrant Japanese-style curry with a rich broth is exquisite. The light roux is accented with bonito flakes and green onions, creating a faint Japanese atmosphere. The menu using local ingredients allows you to enjoy the taste of Onomichi.
The small interior is a world run by a single daughter. It is a cozy space with 3 four-person tables and a few counter seats. The kind and gentle personality of the owner, who shows consideration to each visitor, will make you feel at ease.
It's about a 15-minute walk from Onomichi Station to Senkoji Ropeway. You can enjoy a small trip while walking through the alley of the temple town. The owner seems to participate in many event stalls, and it's also a happy point that they are open year-round. You can stop by anytime, not just during the tourist season.
At a machiya cafe in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, let's enjoy a superb curry based on broth. Please spend a wonderful time surrounded by the warmth of the local ingredients and human touch.
