Dai-Nana Gyoza

You certainly wouldn’t tell by the looks of it however the Dai Nana is touted as Kanazawa’s best Gyoza shop, which is believable as there is always a sizeable line. Score a plate of ten gyoza for an affordable 380 yen. The specialty is their one of a kind ‘white gyoza’ which we will leave up to you to discover!

Sushi Ippei

Authentic local sushi can be found at Sushi Ippei. For a price range of 1000 – 3000 yen it is the most affordable Sushi place in town. But don’t let that give you the impression that its cheap and inferior; Ippei rivals any other restaurant in the city.

Hirosaka-Tei

This izakaya is an excellent place to go if you want good rustic local food, in quantity and not at an exorbitant price. Prices for platters of Tempura or Sashima range from 1500 – 2000 yen. Make sure you try the home-made ginger ale, but be ready for it to knock your socks off.

Tsubajin 

The ultimate in extravagance in Kanazawa dining is the venerable Tsubajin (where government officials and celebrities have gone for hundreds of years). With lunches over $150 USD each and dinners starting at $240, its hard to imagine how anyone but politicians and celebrities could indulge in such a splurge.
