Reviews
We came as a family and ordered the Premium Chef’s Omakase Course—everything was absolutely delicious! From the appetizers to the final rice dish, we enjoyed a beautiful variety of colorful plates showcasing the best seasonal flavors of Ishikawa. The assorted sashimi platter was especially unforgettable—so fresh and beautifully presented, it was honestly a showstopper. The tempura and Noto Wagyu were also outstanding—crispy, rich, and full of flavor. On top of the food, the staff and the chef were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting Ishikawa and want a special meal, I highly recommend this place. Thank you so much!
