Ryogetsu opened in March 2023 in Kanayama‑cho, the tangle of eating
streets east of Hatchobori that is the after‑dark centre of
Hiroshima, and it has done something unusual there: become one of
the city’s best‑regarded sushi counters on Tabelog while remaining
a place you can simply book. The room is six seats and a small table
at the back — the house describes itself as family‑run, the master
having taken over from his father — and the tone reviewers report
is warm rather than hushed. Rice is Koshihikari from Shobara in the
Hiroshima hills; the fish is local where local is best and sent
direct from elsewhere when it is not.
What you eat
One omakase at ¥15,400 with tax, offered at 18:00, at 20:30, and at
Sunday lunch. The sequence runs tsumami first, then nigiri —
reviewers count around six small dishes before the sushi, and cite
Hiroshima oysters slowly cooked in sesame oil among the house’s
ideas. Diners in 2025–2026 report ¥20,000–25,000 a head with sake.
The room has no fixed closing days and instead closes irregularly;
the calendar on Tabelog shows what is open.
The booking reality
This is the easy kind, and the point of listing it. Tabelog takes an
online request for any of the three seatings; the phone
(050‑5596‑0288, or 082‑247‑1289, in Japanese) is answered between
13:00 and 22:00; and the house accepts reservations up to the day
before — no same‑day bookings. There is no release day. Reviewers
book a week or two ahead, one from Tokyo well in advance, one two
nights before for a Sunday lunch; the same reviewers note, with
some relief, how rare that is at this level. A card holds an online
booking, but the bill itself is settled in cash, so carry it.
Six seats mean a party of four takes most of the room, and the
house offers private hire for families. The house publishes no rule
on children, perfume or photography; we ask when we book. Our desk
calls in Japanese, confirms the seating and the cash arrangement,
and holds the counter for you.

Go if you
Travelers arriving in Hiroshima on the late Shinkansen who want a
serious sushi counter at 20:30 without a month of planning, and
anyone whose Miyajima day ends with a Sunday lunch to fill.
Free release-date alerts: the day before, on the morning of release day (08:00 JST) and about 30 minutes before when the time is known — or a weekly summary if the house opens a little every day.
Sushi Ryogetsu: common questions
Can you book Sushi Ryogetsu from abroad?
Yes. Tabelog online request or phone in Japanese, up to the day before; no release day. You can book online yourself, or our Tokyo desk can request the table for you; our ¥6,000-per-seat fee is charged only if we confirm your table.
