金澤 せつ理

Kanazawa’s calendar on a plate: the market’s morning fish, mountain vegetables from the Hakusan foothills, crab in its season, each course given the extra deliberate step — the ひと手間 — that the house has made its name on. Dinner runs as a single evening rhythm from 18:30, which keeps the room calm and the kitchen exact.

Here is the shape of it: there is no release day, and dates open to normal travel lead times. The house’s own site sends bookers to three platforms — Pocket Concierge, which has an English page, plus Tabelog and Ikyu in Japanese — and asks guests living outside Japan to use Pocket Concierge; Ikyu bookings are accepted only from guests with a Japanese phone number who can be reached in Japanese. The phone (076‑264‑2375) is hard to reach during service, and same‑day requests go by phone in the morning. Dinner is a single 18:30 seating — the door opens at 18:25, so arrive on time. Cancellation costs 50% from three days out and 100% from the day before; children are welcome from junior‑high age, eating the adult course. Sunday is the fixed rest day.

A single guest can be seated here, which is rarer than it should be among Kanazawa’s kaiseki counters — but with a condition. Private hires and larger parties take priority, so the house settles a seat for one only about a week before the date. Ask early, and expect the answer late.
