  • If you’re in Higashi Chaya district and want to get the full Japanese experience, check of the Ochaya Shima teahouse. It still has very traditional décor and staff, whom are fully dressed in kimonos.

    They’re opened from 9am to 6pm.

    Expect to pay around 400 yen for tea.

  • You don't see this shop. You smell it first. Your senses are assaulted by the lovely smell of maple puffs baking. No doubt, a clever marketing ploy.

    Every 20mins or so, the puffs emerge, and the baker deftly injects cold cream into the bun for a delectable snack that has been kanazawa's most popular export since rice.

    That's it. Just the Maple Shou. Have one as it emerges warm from the oven when the temperature hovers around freezing.

  • Slightly larger than a hole-in-the-wall type eatery, the chef exgages you in friendly banter as you dine comunally with the locals. The atmosphere can get slightly rowdy.

    Shout your order to him, or gesture to the many side dishes laid out before you. They are ordered much like Spanish tapas, and a few dishes would easily constitute a full meal.

    Grilled Camembert cheese. Ok, so it isn't strictly Japanese food, but the chef grills it with the skin intact. Bite off the skin and the melted cheese ooses out.

  • Address: Somewhere in Katamachi (not much help is it?)
  • Directions: Its quite well known in Katamachi. especially among ryokan owners. The Murotaya Ryokan provides a useful map of the restaurants in the area.

    The market-hall in Kanazawa! There are Sushi-bars everywhere!

    The market is noisy and smelly like any other market, but the vegetables and the fish just look perfect. Vegetable in Japan doesn't look like real vegies! But you can eat it! And it tastes perfect!
