Best places: Japanese izakaya restaurants in Kanazawa, Japan

👍👍 Atmosphere on point. The tables are more private but for couples the counter is more where the kitchen action is. Attentive service, good selection of Japanese rice wine/Nihonshu, a variety of Izakaya food, not just your regular menu options, daily specials... It was excellent. My mum has been cov...

👍👍 We had a wonderful evening here, the hosts were splendid, kind, knowledgeable and so engaged! Food was absolutely delicious and the sake selection opened our eyes to this wonderful drink. For us, this place is a must for any visitor to Kanazawa! 10/10

👍👍 Great place. All about sardines. I'd recommend a set menu which includes the 'rice' course, as that turned out to be sushi. Excellent value for money (we were in there almost two hours, too), and very friendly staff.

👍👍 Very nice and popular place to eat! If you want to be sure that you get your place you should make a reservation. Sometimes, if you are earlier than somebody's else reservation, the staff will let you eat if you will leave the table before the others people reservation time comes. Food is very tasty...

👍👍 お刺身、焼き…と、しっかり板さんが責任を持って提供してくれるお料理と、それに合うお酒も勧めてくれます。ホールの方も気さくで、疲れてる私たちに生牡蠣を焼いてもらえるか交渉して下さいました。 はす家だけに、蓮根のお料理が美味しかった。これも一つ分を2人用に分けてもらい、心遣いも嬉しかったです。

👍👍 Definitely the best dinner that I had in Kanazawa. Every dish was very well made with top quality ingredients. Lively atmosphere at dinner, this place is exactly what I’m looking for when eating at an izakaya.

Compact neighborhood restaurant with an easygoing ambiance serving traditional fish dishes.

👍👍 Excellent! Found it by luck! Real local spot with fresh grilled fish and a great atmosphere. They also have English menu , could not taste the fish of the month because he was sold out but everything I tasted was super. Nice choice of local sakes also. Would recommend this to anyone that wish to ex...

👍👍 Superb izakaya, with very attentive service. Ishikawa oysters were amazing---very large and very rich in flavor. Also highly recommended: charcoal roasted nodoguro (blackthroat sea perch).

👍👍 Great izakaya restaurant recommended to us by locals. Prices were as expected with izakaya but the quality of the food was exceptional. Their flavours in the dishes were very creative and interesting!

👍👍 A very good restaurant with a wonderful concept and a very nice, English-speaking staff!

👍👍 The sashimi was fresh, fatty and delicious. The famous tomato omelet was also served with Tabasco to give it a punch and went well with sake. No matter what I ate, it was delicious and the atmosphere of the lively shop was also good.
