- Ishikawa Kanazawa-shi Korinbo 2-1-1 Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel 2F
- A lounge located on the second floor of the Kanazawa Tokyu Hotel, a hotel located a five-minute drive from Kanazawa Station notable for its Japanese-inspired interior. Here you can enjoy the kind of elegant atmosphere only a high-class hotel can provide. During the lounge’s popular afternoon tea time, the lounge itself recommends a sweet made by the hotel’s patissier together with a cup of Kaga Kocha black tea made with tea grown in Kaga. Created through a joint effort by various Japanese tea specialty shop owners, Kaga Kocha has a faintly sweet and toasty flavor. You can also order a visually attractive afternoon tea set consisting of cake, fruit, quiche, scones, or other delights served in a traditional jubako box.

- 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.

- Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Kenrokumachi 1-11
- "A traditional ryotei Japanese restaurant located close to Hasuike Pond Gate in the Kenrokuen Garden. The restaurant was established in 1875. In this long standing establishment, you can enjoy a meal while taking in the seasonal scenery of the preeminent Japanese garden in the Kaga area. Many famous people, including members of the Imperial family, have dined at this restaurant. Today, the restaurant consists of two buildings-the Honkan main building on the shore of Hisago Pond, the original landscape feature which inspired the creation of the Kenrokuen; and the Suitei pavilion jutting out over the pond's waters. The Suitei is particularly popular because diners can enjoy the sound of the Midoritaki waterfall and the sight of the garden's scenery reflected off the surface of the pond sprawling just beyond the pavilion's windows. The restaurant serves matcha powdered green tea with seasonal namagashi fresh Japanese style sweets as well as reasonably priced kaiseki bento lunches. The ""Hisago Bento"" is particularly recommended and comes with a variety of traditional Kaga dishes."
