Anagohan (Miyajima Ueno)
Miyajima's famous restaurant 'Ueno' is known for its endless queues. Its Anagohan is recognized as the original specialty of Miyajima. It all began in 1901, when Ueno Tanjiki, who traded rice in Miyajima, started selling it as an ekiben at Miyajimaguchi Station. Taking inspiration from the 'anago donburi' (conger eel bowl) beloved by local fishermen, he layered grilled conger eel—coated in a sweet and savory sauce—densely over rice cooked with the flavorful parts of the eel. Because the currents around Miyajima are fast even within the Seto Inland Sea, the conger eel raised there is exceptionally flavorful and tender. With fluffy grilled eel and fragrant soy-sauce rice, the flavor remains unchanged since its launch, continuing to captivate many people to this day.
