虎太郎 がゆく

I found a day with no plans in the morning, so I headed here. I arrived just after 9 AM and there were about 10 people waiting to be seated. I thought I might make it for the first round, but the person in front of me got the last spot, so I secured a seat for the second round and did some remote work for a bit.As usual, I ordered the Roka Plate (mutton) with large rice, a limited edition petite curry, and a lassi. The taste was consistently delicious. After the meal, I had a brief chat with the owner about curry, discussing the curry scene in Osaka and Kyushu/Fukuoka, which was quite enjoyable.【Visit Date】★ May XX, 2026, 11:30-12:00 【Reservation】 ★ None (I signed in front of the restaurant that morning) 【Order Method】 ★ Ordered from the menu 【Food/Drink】 ★ Roka Plate (Mutton) ★ Petite Curry (Limited Edition) ★ Large Rice (Drink) ★ Lassi 【Total】 ★ JPY 2,350 per person (cash payment) Less

In May, I visited Sushi Hashiguchi. Although the fish was somewhat less abundant during this season, the variety of shellfish made up for it, and it was truly exceptional.【Visit Date】★May XX, 2026, 19:30-22:00【Reservation】★Yes【Number of Guests】★4 people【Order Type】★Omakase【Dishes / Drinks】★Flounder★Red Clam★Aoyagi (Surf Clam)★Sliced Horse Mackerel★Marinated Tuna★Shrimp★Kombu-Kelp Cured★Marinated Fish★White Squid★Kohada (Gizzard Shad)★Torigai (Bird Clam)★Red Clam Intestine★Chutoro (Medium Fatty Tuna)★Otoro (Fatty Tuna)★Small Clams★Spring Child (Young Fish)★Sardine★Sea Urchin★Conger Eel★Egg(Drinks)★Mugi Shochu Soda with Sudachi【Total Bill】★Approximately JPY 55,000 per person (Card Payment) Less

It had been a while since I made a reservation for dinner.

Kataori in May. A few years ago, when I visited around the same time, I was able to enjoy hotaru ika (firefly squid), but it seems that the season ended early this year, which is unfortunate.While this time of year may not feature standout ingredients, I believe it is precisely during such periods that a chef's true skills and sensibilities are put to the test, and Kataori certainly did not disappoint. They presented several dishes inspired by the Tango no Sekku (Children's Day), and each dish was a feast for both the palate and the eyes, leaving me thoroughly satisfied.We finished our meal just after 7:00 PM, and there was still a bit of daylight left, providing a stunning view from Asanogawa. For the first time after dining, I walked to the station, which was quite enjoyable.【Visit Date】★ May XX, 2026, 17:00-19:30 【Reservation】★ Yes 【Number of Guests】★ 2 【Order Type】★ Omakase 【Dishes/Drinks】★ Genmaicha (brown rice tea) ★ Yomogi Tofu ★ Dashi (broth) ★ Noodle Soup with Young Sea Bream ★ Sashimi: Akagai (red clam), Doromatsu Ika (mud squid), Kue (grouper), Sayori (halfbeak) ★ Fried White Shrimp with Arare (rice crackers), Grilled Asparagus ★ Grilled Nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) ★ Hand-rolled Sushi with Edamame ★ Red Sweet Sea Bream with Fuki Vinegar ★ Small Soup with Soft-Shelled Turtle, Mochi, Snap Peas, Green Onion ★ Kinjiro (sea urchin) with Hairy Crab and Sudachi Jelly ★ Simmered Young Bamboo Shoots and Fuki ★ Rice Dishes ★ Aji (horse mackerel) Zuke Don (marinated rice bowl) ★ Kue Tempura Don (tempura rice bowl) ★ Tamago Kake Gohan (rice with raw egg) ★ Iwa Mozuku (seaweed) Zosui (rice soup) ★ Warabi Mochi (bracken starch dumpling) (Drinks) ★ Green Tea ★ Barley Shochu with Soda and Sudachi 【Bill】★ Approximately JPY 51,000 per person (credit card payment) Less

This was my second visit to Kisanuki, following my last visit at the end of last year. This time, I came for dinner, and I was able to enjoy the longer daylight and the beautiful scenery around Asanogawa. The location is truly wonderful.The Toyama firefly squid was just in season, and I savored it prepared in three different ways: boiled, grilled, and steamed, each offering a distinct flavor. The other dishes were also exceptional, and together with the nearby Katabori, it seems I will be visiting Kanazawa frequently for a while.【Visit Date】★ May X, 2026, 17:00-19:30 【Reservation】★ Yes 【Number of People】★ 2 【Order Type】★ Omakase 【Dishes / Drinks】★ Ko-sencha (lightly roasted green tea) ★ Fresh green tofu with wild vegetables and sweet shrimp ★ Steamed sushi with nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) ★ Clear soup with rockfish and spring cabbage ★ Sashimi of akagai (red clam), sayori (halfbeak), and sumiika (squid) ★ Fresh rock oyster ★ Tempura of anglerfish ★ New onion and snap peas ★ Firefly squid: boiled, steamed, and grilled ★ Charcoal-grilled asparagus ★ Water butterbur rolled in shin-dama ★ Cherry salmon rolled with various ingredients ★ Side dishes of bamboo shoots and sardines ★ Miso soup with wild boar meat ★ Nibana (boiled wild vegetables) ★ New onion rice ★ Trout rice ★ Ume dashi chazuke (rice with pickled plum broth) ★ Yomogi mochi (mugwort rice cake) (Drinks) ★ Barley shochu with soda and sudachi 【Total Bill】★ Approximately JPY 42,000 per person (credit card payment) Less
