The Kanazawa annex of the acclaimed Sushijin — omakase built on the Sea of Japan's winter catch, eight seats in the Katamachi night quarter.
By SHOKU NOREN Team · Facts last verified July 2026 · How we check
Sushijin is one of the most sought-after sushi names on the Sea of Japan
coast, and this is its Kanazawa annex — eight seats on Katamachi, the
city's night quarter. The counter works in the register the house is known
for: restraint rather than flourish, the day's best Hokuriku catch read
piece by piece, and a quiet kind of persuasion in place of spectacle.
What you eat
Omakase, paced by the season rather than a fixed list. The Sea of Japan's
winter is the high point — shiro-ebi, the translucent white shrimp of the
Hokuriku bays; nodoguro, the fatty rosy seaperch seared just to the point
it beads; and kanburi, the winter yellowtail at its richest. The fish is
northern and local before it is anything else.
The counter and the room
Eight seats, two dinner turns a night at 17:30 and 20:00, smart-casual,
closed Sundays and Mondays. It is small and books out well ahead; the whole
room can be taken for a private party of up to twenty. Kanazawa Station is
seven to ten minutes away by taxi.
Who it rewards
Travelers routing through Kanazawa for Kenrokuen and the Sea of Japan's
winter table, who want a destination counter with a serious pedigree and
are content with a booking that opens on the house's terms.
