The way from Hiroshima station to Mazda baseball stadium is commonly called "Carp Road" (the Hiroshima Toyo Carp are a professional baseball team in Japan's Central League). Just in the backside of the Carp Road, there is our Hana Hostel.
There is a rāmen shop which shows a big signboard to the Carp Road. The name is "Ouenya" which means "The Supporters" in Japanese. The name just matches the place, doesn't it? On the day of a baseball game, it's teeming with people.
The menu is mainly three kinds, a pork bone broth rāmen, a Kure style cold noodle, and a Hiroshima style cold noodle. Some tidbits and sakes are on the menu, so you can enjoy drinking after watching a baseball game.
The photo is "a carp rāmen shirodama (white ball)" You'll like it if you like kotteri (thick) soup ramen. The Kure style cold noodle and the Hiroshima style cold noodle are also nice.
It's open from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. , last call is 10:30 p.m. If you would like to try Hiroshima style rāmen, we recommend you to go "Ouenya". It's two minutes walk from Hana Hostel.
