About dining in Kanazawa

Kanazawa escaped heavy bombing in the Second World War and keeps its castle-town streets, teahouse districts and the Kenroku-en garden.

Its restaurants draw on seafood from the Sea of Japan, especially snow crab in winter, and on the Kaga tradition of kaiseki served on local lacquerware and Kutani porcelain.

Good to know

Snow crab season opens in early November; the smaller female kobako crab is sold only until the end of December.
