A new famous store in Kanazawa.
This is a Japanese restaurant with only 8 seats located on the edge of Higashi Chaya District, 4 seats at the counter and 1 group at 4 tables.
A special shop that only accommodates 2 groups.

The chef is a very quiet man, and is a young chef who trained in Osaka and Kyoto, then moved to a Michelin restaurant in Kanazawa, and then became independent when the restaurant closed due to the coronavirus.
The restaurant's good taste can be seen in the comfortable seats at the Jindai cypress counter decorated with Kano school folding screens, and the splendor of the over 100-year-old antique plates on which almost all the dishes are served.
Everything from Chinese, Korean, and Thai antiques to local Kutani ware was delicate and beautiful, and made the food stand out.
The store is a remodeled old tenement house, and he selected the materials himself from scratch without the involvement of a designer, and he purchased all the tableware by himself, going from antique stores in Kanazawa to Kyoto and Osaka.

The dishes are also made with plenty of local ingredients from Noto, and each dish is incredibly delicious and comes with a refill! It was the best experience I've ever had.

You can still make reservations right now, but I'm sure you won't be able to get a reservation at this restaurant, so I'm worried about introducing it this way, but I'd like to introduce it to show your support.

The cost of the meal is 27,000 yen per person + consumption tax, plus drinks.

I ate at the counter of a restaurant that was renovated from an old private house, and I was left with a strong impression that all of the dishes served in the course were perfect.
They have prepared sake that goes well with the food, and I enjoyed it chilled while listening to the chef, and any sake goes well with the food.
I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful food, space, and time.

New store opening in October 2022.
This is a place where you can enjoy Japanese cuisine in a townhouse in Higashiyama, where the head chef of Kaga Masa, a one-Michelin-starred kappo restaurant in Katamachi Erbil, once founded it.
There is no parking lot at the store, so we recommend using a coin parking lot or taking a taxi.

There are 4 counter seats and 1 private room, and this time I visited the counter seat.
There was a lot of attention paid to the interior and tableware, and personally, I really liked the design of the Hida chairs in the private rooms.

The meals were delicious, not only from Ishikawa Prefecture, but also from a variety of other production areas, and kept us tense in a good way from the first dish to the last.

I heard that reservations are already fully booked, so if you're interested, please check it out.

A famous restaurant standing dignifiedly in the ``Higashiyama night'' reminiscent of ``Spirited Away.''

A renovated Kanazawa townhouse located a little off the main street in Higashiyama, the shop carries not only the tableware but also the fittings and furniture, all of which are carefully selected by the owner himself, which shows his good relationship with antique stores.

From the first item to the last, you can't hide your surprise at the combinations and cooking methods you try for the first time. Above all, the owner's insatiable inquisitiveness and unpretentious attitude toward Japanese cuisine, as well as the attentiveness, attentiveness, and consideration of the customer service staff, are the reasons why our nearly four-hour stay felt like it flew by.

I had the impression that I had come to a ``museum where you can enjoy Japanese cuisine in Kanazawa,'' so I decided to stop here while I still had some lingering memories.

The first thing that impresses me is the depth of the general's knowledge and passion for pottery. The ingredients are mainly from Ishikawa, and you can feel the meticulous work done throughout the preparation, and the assembly is also wonderful. He gives the impression that he is a very serious and orthodox chef, but I also like tableware, so I had a lot of fun talking with him.
The veteran woman who appeared to be the landlady was very polite and attentive to customers, and we had a wonderful night in Kanazawa. This is one of the stores I would like to visit again.
