    Izakaya-kappo Tamura is a Kappo-izakaya (Japanese-style bar-restaurant) in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Patrons can enjoy delicious fresh fish and Daiginjo (top-quality sake) at reasonable prices while enjoying the ambience of the historic city of Kanazawa. Besides offering classic Hokuriku region specialties such as Rosy Sea-bass and crab, Izakaya-kappo Tamura has also attracted considerable attention with its original recipes, including hearty Yellowtail Rolls, etc. Izakaya-kappo Tamura is a favorite with celebrities in the arts and entertainment fields etc., and has many fans not only within Ishikawa Prefecture but also in other parts of Japan and even overseas. The crab used in the restaurant's popular Crab Shabu-shabu hotpot comes straight from the restaurant's fishtanks before being prepared, making it ultra-fresh. Crab Shabu-shabu is available all year round, but as the restaurant sometimes has difficulty getting deliveries of fresh crab during periods of bad weather, it is advisable to book ahead two days in advance.

    Great experience at Tamura. We are mother and father with two sons (13 and 18) that had a great meal and experience on 2. of October. We just by chance walked into this place - and had a really good...

    Ishikawa Kaga-shi Yamashironsen Onsen Dori 31-4
    This orthodox bar operates out of a renovated building originally used as a bank. Depending on the time of day, customers can enjoy two different atmospheres – during the day, the establishment is a jazz cafe; at night, it turns into a cocktail bar. A dignified and mature atmosphere hangs in the air, and on weekends customers can enjoy a beverage along with live music performed on the bar’s grand piano. A gallery adjoins the establishment on the same floor, and visitors can view the art on display whenever the bar is open. The original cocktails crafted by the bar’s master, a member of both the Nippon Bartenders Association and the International Bartenders Association, are exceptionally delicious.

    I loved this place. The first thing that got our attention as we were walking by was the no smoking sign on the door. As you enter you walk into what seems like a gift shop with quirky, locally...

    Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Korinbo 2-1-1 Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel 2F
    A lounge located on the second floor of the Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel, a hotel located a five-minute drive from Kanazawa Station notable for its Japanese-inspired interior. Here you can enjoy the kind of elegant atmosphere only a high-class hotel can provide. During the lounge’s popular afternoon tea time, the lounge itself recommends a sweet made by the hotel’s patissier together with a cup of Kaga Kocha black tea made with tea grown in Kaga. Created through a joint effort by various Japanese tea specialty shop owners, Kaga Kocha has a faintly sweet and toasty flavor. You can also order a visually attractive afternoon tea set consisting of cake, fruit, quiche, scones, or other delights served in a traditional jubako box.

    This restaurant is top class The tables are generous in size and widley spaced The service is exemplary and staff very knowledgeable The fishermans soup the best we have ever had - a bouillon with...

    This Japanese-style diner restaurant is located in Seseragi-dori Shopping Street, in Nagamachi Town, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. It operates from a small, old townhouse. The interior has a modern atmosphere, which makes good use of nostalgic feel of the townhouse. It is renowned for its fine and careful preparation of the Ishikawa Koshihikari rice, freshly harvested vegetables and seasonal seafood used in its meals. The restaurant is not tied down by Japanese or western genres, and offers a wide range of dishes, such as its specialty Kama meshi, sashimi, char-grill, deep-fried dishes and other delicacies. The local sake, carefully selected by the owner is also very popular.

    There are uncommon moments in life when you have a dining experience that is revolutionary. While Kanazawa is chock-full of amazing restaurants, Aguri is something very special, and definitely worth...

    "A Japanese townhouse-style restaurant and bar located a five minute walk from JR and Hokuriku Railroad Kanazawa Station where you can enjoy flavors that are ""simple yet rich, familiar yet new."" There are tables and counter seating on the first floor and semi-private booths equipped with soundproofing on the second floor. Choose whichever area best suits the number of people in your party, the purpose of your visit, and your mood that day. The restaurant's signature dish is its Hanton rice, a local favorite consisting of Japanese-style omelet rice topped with batter fried shrimp and whitefish covered with tartar sauce. You can also enjoy other local favorites here like Kanazawa-style curry as well as local Kanazawa Lager beer."

    "A Japanese izakaya pub located in Hakui City. Owned and operated by the adjoining Kurikawa seafood shop, the restaurant serves dishes made with fresh seafood caught just that morning. The restaurant is open for lunch and the daily ""Bobo Lunch"" special, which comes with the day's recommended seasonal seafood served grilled or sashimi-style along with a side, rice, soup, and pickles, is particularly recommended. At night, the restaurant's menu primarily consists of sashimi and other Japanese dishes; the restaurant also stocks a wide selection of local Hokuriku liquors. The restaurant's name means ""fish"" in the local Hakui dialect."

    "A Japanese izakaya pub which serves meals made with Hokuriku ingredients in hearty portions for lunch and dinner located a two minute walk from Kagaonsen Station on the JR Hokuriku Main Line. Decorated like an old fashioned Japanese home, the restaurant has counter seating and semi-private irori-style tables. For lunch, the ""Kaga Kani Gohan,"" made with rare female snow crab from Hashitate Fishing Port in Kaga City served over rice, is particularly recommended. The ""Kaga Parfait,"" a dessert developed as part of the Kaga Omotenashi Kissa Menu project, is also popular and comes with Kaga bocha stem tea. In the evening, the restaurant offers an abundant variety of dishes made with seasonal fish and vegetables as well as a wide selection of suitable local liquors."

    加賀温泉駅から数分で行ける居酒屋風の食事処。加賀おもてなしキャンペーンの「加賀カニ御膳」の提供店の一つ。ぼくは他のところのを食べたことはないけれど、ここのは数回食べているので、さすがに居酒屋・食事処だけあって、お味はベリーグー。ただし1回食べた加賀パフェは微妙。これは数年前なので、今は良くなっているのかも知れない。お昼時は混むので、予約を推奨。
