I visited Kisanuki, located about a 10-minute drive from Kanazawa Station in Tokiwacho.This restaurant was established by Waki Kisanuki, who previously served as the head chef at the renowned restaurant Kataori.Here, the focus is on the bounties of the Hokuriku region, with dishes that bring out the essence of the ingredients in a straightforward manner.♦︎ A serene atmosphere in a Sukiya-style space ──Nestled near the Asanogawa River, the restaurant features a beautifully elongated counter as its only seating.The staff moves swiftly around the head chef, creating a pleasant blend of warmth and a comfortable tension.Their attentive and meticulous hospitality allows you to deeply focus on the dishes from start to finish.♦︎ The menu I enjoyed ──【Sea Somen】【Steamed Eel Rice】【Soup with Scad】【Sashimi】- Aori Ika (Cuttlefish)- Aobai Shell- Arawa (Fish)【Sweet Shrimp with Roe】【New Onion and Snap Peas】【Manju Eggplant】【Grilled Sweetfish】【Soft-shelled Turtle Broth】【Rock Oyster】【Kataha's Shinodamaki】♦︎ Impressive ingredient quality and overall impressions ──The minimalist approach to cooking, stripping away the unnecessary, results in dishes that have a gentle flavor that seeps into your body.The precision in extracting the broth and cooking the ingredients is remarkable, with each bite bringing a new delight.Even the final rice dish is perfectly balanced in terms of pace, and the satisfaction level for the price is extremely high.This is a supreme establishment that is already attracting attention from food enthusiasts nationwide and is set to lead the future of Hokuriku's Japanese cuisine.I will definitely return.
