Course starting from JPY 35,200 (tax included)Includes 7 servings of Japanese sake (half serving each)Total: JPY 44,400Located about a 10-minute taxi ride from Kanazawa Station, this Japanese restaurant welcomed me to a private gathering for regular customers.We started by placing a hot oshibori (wet towel) around our necks, just like at Kataori."Shiitake Kocha"Made with mountain spring water.The shiitake-infused kocha has a gentle flavor and a clear taste."Seri Tofu"A dish topped with purple sea urchin and served with wasabi.Both the texture and flavor are exceptional.The quality of the purple sea urchin is extremely high, raising expectations from the very first dish."Clam and Snap Pea Porridge"Lightly salted, yet with a deep flavor.Absolutely delicious."Hairy Crab Soup"A soup featuring hairy crab and wild fuki.I was impressed by the refined dashi reminiscent of Kataori."Aori Ika, Akagai, Kuchi, Sweet Shrimp Konowata"Fresh and delicious, reaffirming the quality of seafood from the Hokuriku region."Grilled Nodoguro"The exquisite cooking reflects the skill of Kisanuki."Sumika and Konnyaku with Kinome Dressing"A dish requested by the reservation holder.The balance of the kinome dressing is perfect.I am in awe of Kisanuki's ability to elevate everything to a first-class level.Following that were rice dishes: "Iwagaki Shio Soup," "Uzaku," and "Kataba Shin-damak." The rice served is Noto Hikari.It has a strong sweetness and a wonderful texture.Accompanying the rice are "Wild Boar Miso Soup," "Himi Beef Shigureni," and "Shiro-uri Pickles with Wood Ear Mushrooms and Sansho." For seconds, I ordered the following six dishes, all in large sizes:◯ New Onion Rice◯ Marinated Horse Mackerel Rice Bowl◯ Monkfish Tempura Rice Bowl◯ Rice with Raw Egg◯ Ume Dashi Chazuke◯ Karasumi RiceThe course concluded with dessert: "Karinto Manju" and "Matcha."Kisanuki, who trained at Kataori, opened his own restaurant last April.Like Kataori, many dishes are simple, maximizing the use of high-quality ingredients.There were no complaints from start to finish.It was a great meal.
