Miyajima Street Food


After a hike to Mt. Misen to visit the wild monkeys and see one of the top three scenic views in Japan, we found a street with vendors selling various items on sticks.  There were many selections including octopus, pork and fish on a stick.  We chose the fried oysters on a stick as Miyajima is known for it's oysters.  Did I say "Cat's Eye" oysters were the best?  I now think fried oysters on a stick are the best.

Walking another block there is a line formed.  I go to see what the excitement is about and find more oysters!  This time a man is roasting them (see picture below).  My new favorite is roasted oysters!  I'm so easily swayed.
