TENOHA & | TASTE: Hiroshima 広島
Author: SaiKaiAngel
Hiroshima is a prefecture known for “Peace” and is located in southwest Japan, between the inland sea of Seto and the Chugoku Mountains, characterized by the Mediterranean climate. Apart from its very important history that unfortunately we all sadly know, Hiroshima has two UNESCO World Heritage sites and many other historical places to visit, for example, the Itsukushima sanctuary in Miyajima, the Peace Park Memorial and the Dome of the A-bomb.
So TENOHA Milano decides to start the new trip in Japan with the HAKKEN menu right from Hiroshima, but let’s see what it is all about.
