Savor Long-Beloved Sushi in the Heart of Kanazawa
Located in Omicho Market, known as “Kanazawa’s kitchen," this long-standing sushi restaurant is cherished by locals for its carefully crafted sushi, made one piece at a time by skilled chefs behind the counter. Every morning, fresh, wild-caught fish are hand-selected at the market to ensure the highest quality. To fully enjoy the flavors of the seasons, the chef’s choice set menu is highly recommended. From the soy sauce used for dipping to the vinegar and rice in the shari (sushi rice), and even the tea served at the end of the meal, every ingredient is thoughtfully sourced from Ishikawa Prefecture, reflecting a deep commitment to local production and sustainability. Pair your sushi with sake from Fukumitsuya, Kanazawa’s oldest and most historic sake brewery, for a truly regional dining experience.
A Hospitable Spirit That Welcomes Everyone
The entrance, marked by red bars and the store's logo, is flat, wheelchair accessible, and the restrooms are equipped with handrails, making the store barrier-free. The height of the tables is also wheelchair accessible, and the store's consideration for diversity is a nice touch.
Sushi Served on Japanese-Style "Geta" Wooden Clogs
When you order a single sushi dish, it is served on a wooden platform marked with red and black lines. This platform is called "geta" in traditional sushi lingo, and is the forerunner of modern conveyor belt sushi systems, where you can see the difference in price at a glance. It's fun to experience sushi culture like this.
