Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Katamachi 2-9-15

A “yoshoku” Japanese-style Western cuisine restaurant established in 1957 located in Kata-machi, Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture. Grill Otsuka is said to be one of the restaurants which invented hanton rice, a local Kanazawa specialty dish. A hearty dish, hanton rice is ketchup rice wrapped in a semi-soft omelet, topped with deep fried breaded tuna and shrimp, and covered with ketchup and a homemade tartar sauce. In part thanks to its atmosphere reminiscent of the good, old days of the Showa period, Grill Otsuka is frequently featured in travel magazines.

Some 5-6 people were queuing outside during lunch time. We were handed menu outside and ordered outside. Payment is cash only. Staff are attentive. The most famous Hanton rice and meat sauce...

Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Korinbo 2-1-1

A 10-minute drive from Kanazawa Station. This steakhouse is located in Korinbo Tokyu Square, a shopping mall within walking distance of Kanazawa Castle Park and the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa. Surrounded by the restaurant’s dazzling atmosphere, a chef will energetically turn choice, top quality ingredients into a delicious meal right before your eyes. The restaurant serves Noto beef, a variety of Japanese black beef raised amidst the natural beauty, mountains, and sea of Noto; only a few hundred head of this rare beef are shipped each year. Compared with other brand name beef varieties, Noto beef has slightly less marbling, instead boasting an outstanding quantity of the oleic acid, an indicator of its excellent flavor. As you chat with the chef at the counter, you are encouraged to enjoy your steak with a house soy-based sauce or a secret recipe chili sauce.

We had an awesome meal at Rokkakudo Seseragi. The Wagyu sirloin was the best steak we have ever had; and the service was outstanding. We are now spoiled and will compare every restaurant to this...

The Go Go Curry chain is famous for having popularized Kanazawa-style curry across the country and serves rich, Japanese-style curry on rice with cabbage and Worcestershire sauce-toped pork cutlets served on stainless steel platters.

Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Higashiyama 1-6-6

Located at the entrance to Higashi Chaya District in the Higashiyama district of Kanazawa City, Jiyuken is a long-established Yoshoku (Japanese-style Western food) restaurant that was founded in 1909. Jiyuken serves proper, old-fashioned Yoshoku using recipes (such as a special demi-glace sauce) that have been handed down through the generations since the restaurant was first established. The rice omelet, made by frying rice and meat seasoned a soy-sauce-based sauce and then wrapping it inside a fried egg, has consistently been the most popular item on the menu. The lunchtime set meal (also available at dinnertime), which includes four Jiyuken favorites—home-made hamburgers, sautéed pork, potato croquettes, and fried shrimp in béchamel sauce—is also very popular.

I would say it’s a pretty good place for lunch. The Omurice is cheap and unique because the restaurant used rice with soy sauce instead of ketchup. Cream croquette is delicious. Hayashi rice is...

Finally, I have the chance to try the Kanazawa curry and I’m not disappointed. The pork is savory and the curry is delicious. However, it’s a little bit dry compared to a normal curry and rice...
