Toyama
Set within a renovated traditional townhouse featuring senbon-koushi latticework, a defining architectural style of Kanayamachi in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, this Japanese dining establishment reflects the character of the historic streetscape. Located within an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, the setting provides a calm dining environment suited to the surrounding heritage landscape. Seasonal ingredients sourced from Toyama’s seafood and mountain produce form the basis of the cuisine, with menus changing throughout the year to reflect regional flavors. Offerings include a popular "kago bento" lunch with two main dish options, multi-course meals, a wide selection of local sake, and takeaway bento and hors d’oeuvre prepared with regional ingredients, making it suitable for both sightseeing breaks and leisurely meals.
If you want to casually enjoy local fish with some drinks, we recommend visiting a local izakaya. It’s the perfect place to have fun with friends. You can savor a variety of dishes such as shuto and shiokara (traditional sake accompaniments), local fish, transparent squid sashimi, grilled crab shell, and seafood bowls topped with generous amounts of salmon roe and sea urchin. Asking the staff or local patrons for recommendations on regional seafood specialties will make your trip even more memorable.
居酒屋 かめ蔵
This izakaya restaurant is located about a 7-minute walk from JR Takaoka Station. It is the only restaurant in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture, to receive a Bib Gourmand award in "Michelin Guide Toyama/Ishikawa (Kanazawa) 2016 Special Edition". The owner, who grew up in a traditional Japanese catering restaurant founded in 1930, has inherited the traditions and techniques of the long-established restaurant and offers exceptional cuisine. In addition to premium fish such as blackthroat seaperch and white shrimp landed in Toyama Prefecture, the owner personally sources rare varieties of fresh fish, carefully selected through exclusive channels not generally found in distribution. The seafood dishes embody the essence of "kitokito," a Toyama dialect word meaning "fresh."
