Arrived too late into Kanazawa for Omicho Market so we stumbled upon this gem. Their Noto beef croquette melted in your mouth but crunchy, their snow crab was incredible! We only stopped by for a small snack but ended up ordering a little more. The fried shrimp comes with a bit of salt that adds so nicely to the flavor, and the fried oysters were HUGE and yummy. Ordering via phone to the table was super easy. So glad we stopped here!
Trying to find a place to try the Kobako Crab and here is the best choice of mine. You might need to wait for a well, no matter for lunch time or dinner time. However, it is definitely worth to wait. It feels really good when you try Oden in autumn and winter. However, remember to order a set or something extra to eat since it won't be enough if you want to fill up.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely delicious! The sushi was incredibly fresh — every bite just melted in my mouth. The set lunch pork plate was perfectly cooked, tender and full of flavor, with just the right balance of savory and sweet. Beautiful presentation, generous portions, and amazing value for the quality. Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for a satisfying and authentic Japanese lunch!
