Product Description

Kappo Shirataka is a renowned kappo (traditional Japanese) restaurant with a rich history spanning around 60 years, nestled on a quiet back street in Nagarekawa-cho, Hiroshima’s largest downtown area. Originally founded as a general merchant in the Taisho era, the restaurant adopted the name Hakutaka, which is also the name of a local sake the establishment still proudly serves. The first-generation owner personally visited a sake brewery in Nada to acquire the rights to use the name, establishing a deep connection to Hiroshima’s sake culture.
