    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.

    Ishikawa Pref. Kanazawashi Higashiyama 1-2-1
    A long-standing bistro situated on the bank of the Asano River. The restaurant's Western-style building was constructed in 1923 and is a landmark in the Higashi Chaya District. The restaurant interior still retains many touches dating back to the period when the building was built. The first floor has counter seating and tables, while the second floor is a private dining room with an old-fashioned atmosphere. Here you can enjoy authentic French cuisine made with select ingredients. The restaurant offers different, but equally delicious, lunch and dinner menus. During lunch, the restaurant serves primarily dishes like curry and hamburg steaks made with Noto beef and pork. For dinner, you can eat dishes made with seafood from Kanazawa Port.

    Good service, but the food was espectacular. All dishes we ordered were delicious. Sake of the day a good selection. A great experience. We really enjoyed the place, the atmosphere but...

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
