    A sushi restaurant which uses seafood from the waters off of Kanazawa. The restaurant is located between the Kenrokuen and the Higashi/Kazue-machi Chaya District, making it easy to stop by after exploring the town. Inside, the restaurant has a bright, modern, and cozy atmosphere. The restaurant used seafood stocked that day for its sushi. The sushi vinegar used to make the restaurant's shari sushi rice is a special blend mixed with a stock slowly extracted from konbu kelp. The restaurant offers both omakase (chef's choice) and customer choice options, and the restaurant's chef can prepare sushi for you based on your budget and tastes.

    The sushi was delicious, and the waitresses were pleasant, but the older sushi chef was so rude that I wouldn’t recommend going here. It was the most expensive meal I’ve had in Japan, so the bad...

    近江町市場の十間町口からすぐのところにあるお寿司屋さん。おすすめメニューしかなく飲んだり摘んだりして長々と過ごす感じではなく、二種類づつ結構いいペースで握りが出てくるのでちゃっちゃと寿司をいただく感じです。何度か訪問していますが、小ぶりのしゃりに少しだけ厚目のネタ、控えめな大将、まともな価格、好きなお店です。

    Ishikawa Pref. Hakuigunshikamachi Saikaifuto W 6 6 Saikai fishing port premises
    A sushi restaurant located on the grounds of the Saikai Fishing Harbor. The restaurant's name indicates it is a conveyor belt sushi place, but in place of an unending conveyor belt of sushi rolling past, customers make an order via a touch panel at their table, after which a sushi chef quickly prepares their order. Directly operated by a fisherman's union, the restaurant uses fresh seafood caught and brought into port that day. Only salmon and mackerel caught in the waters off Saikai, in particular, are used, no imports. The restaurant's menu also includes many distinctly local sushi toppings such as thread-sail filefish, whelk, and neon flying squid.

    やはり石川県の海側なので海の幸が美味しいだろうと思いホテルのスタッフにおススメの店を聞いて行って握り寿司を食べましたが新鮮ではなかったです。よほど回る100円寿司の方が新鮮で美味しいと思います。期待していたのに残念です。

    "The Kanazawa Hyakubangai location of Shibazushi, a sushi restaurant established in 1958.

The restaurant's staple menu selection is its simply flavored horse mackerel shibazushi, which is made with fatty domestic horse mackerel over minced ginger. The restaurant also makes use of seasonal fish like sea bream and horse mackerel. In addition, the restaurant offers a monthly changing selection of bento box lunches as well as the ""Zeitaku Noto-gyu to Noto-buta Bento,"" a bento box which comes with both Noto beef and Noto pork."

    "Located in the Omi-cho Market, this sushi restaurant is the sister establishment to Sushi Mitsukawa, a restaurant located in the Higashi Chaya District which has been awarded a Michelin star. Here you can enjoy authentic sushi in a casual atmosphere, and, from the counter seats, you can observe the superb skills of master sushi chefs. The restaurant also has table seating, ensuring families and small groups can also eat comfortably here. In addition to a la carte orders prepared one at a time using your favorite toppings, the restaurant also offers lunch specials and an omakase (chef's choice) course prepared with fresh, seasonal seafood focusing on whitefish varieties. The restaurant particularly recommends the ""Ni-Hamaguri,"" common orient clam simmered in a salty-sweet sauce Tokyo-style; and the ""Akanishigai,"" sushi made with veined rapa whelk which can only be obtained from the fishing port in Nanao City in the Noto area."

    "A sushi restaurant located next to the Gansho-ji Temple. Situated in a back alley, this renowned restaurant has even been featured in the media. Close to Nanao Station, the restaurant sometimes sees lines forming out the door during lunchtime. The restaurant's sushi toppings come straight from fixed shore nets. The menu is the same for both lunch and dinner. In addition to choices like the ""Osusume Nigiri 8-kan"" recommended eight-piece sushi set, the ""Taisho Tokusei Saba Battera"" pressed mackerel sushi, and the ""Kaisen Hitsumabushi"" chopped seafood over rice, the restaurant also offers all manner of makizushi rolls, sashimi, and tempura assortments. The steamed northern shrimp sushi is popular with women. The weekday lunch special is particularly recommended. A bargain choice, it comes with two small side bowl dishes, salad, miso soup, and your choice of either eight nigirizushi pieces or a seafood rice bowl."

    地もの新鮮な魚をお手頃価格で食べられるいいお店。全て美味しかったが、がんどぶりと能登フグの炙りが特に良かった。 カウンターと小上がりが二つありますが、大将と女将さんの二人で対応してるので、事前に電話で予約してから伺った方が良いと思う。

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Shimotsutsumichou 38 Omi-machi Market
    A sushi restaurant located in the Omi-cho Market a 15 minute walk from JR Kanazawa Station. In the highly competitive conveyor belt sushi market that is Kanagawa, this long-standing restaurant has been a local favorite for over 40 years. The restaurant's sushi is carefully crafted by skilled chefs while preserving the freshness and natural flavor of local, Hokuriku seafood personally chosen by the owner. The restaurant's konbujime, an old fashioned sushi variety created in Kanazawa, has a unique flavor and texture created by securing Jonh Dory, Pacific cod, and red sea bream in wild konbu kelp. In addition to dining in, the restaurant also accepts takeout orders starting from just a single plate.

    We didnt have to wait at all when we came here for lunch. They had sushi sets that were good value and fresh. Their sushi train was good but a little pricey.

    A restaurant which uses almost exclusively local ingredients where you can enjoy the uniquely fresh sushi of the sushi wonderland that is Nanao. The restaurant takes pride in its nigirizushi made with toppings prepared to maximize their flavor and served over a bed of sushi rice somewhat smaller than usual. In the counter seating area, customers can watch the restaurant's chefs prepare their sushi right in front of them. The restaurant also has tatami mat and raised tatami mat seating and can accept reservations for private parties from six to 20 people. Particularly recommended is the omakase (chef's choice) menu, made with a seasonally varying selection of mostly local seafood. In addition, the restaurant has a side menu which includes sashimi, grilled fish, stewed fish, and other delicacies, and also carries a variety of alcoholic beverages.

The restaurant is a participant in the ""Hyakumangoku no Sushi"" project, which aims to serve ultimate pieces of sushi created using carefully selected ingredients by the hands of skilled chefs thoroughly versed in the culture of Ishikawa. The sushi crafted by the owner, a master who has worked with sushi for over 30 years, is renowned not only for its freshness but also its size. Particularly recommended are the blackthroat seapearch, a high quality whitefish which is nevertheless characterized by its rich and flavorful fat, served shioyaki (salt grilled) and ichiyaboshi (salted and dried overnight) style; the homemade kaburazushi turnip sushi and kobujime konbu kelp sushi, only served in winter; and the vinegared whitebait sunomono. The restaurant also stocks an abundant selection of sake which goes perfect with seafood."
