Ebitei Bekkan is a renowned Japanese kaiseki restaurant located in central Toyama, Japan. This family-run establishment has a rich history, operating in various forms for over 150 years. Currently managed by the fourth-generation chef, Mura Kentaro, Ebitei Bekkan is known for its exquisite seasonal menu that highlights the local flavors and ingredients of the Hokuriku region, including specialties like hotaru ika (firefly squid), shiro ebi (baby white shrimp), and kan buri (winter Japanese amberjack).

The restaurant offers a traditional kaiseki dining experience with a set seasonal menu featuring courses like abalone, white fish soup, and sashimi, among others. The dishes are well-regarded for their delicate preparation and presentation, emphasizing the natural flavors of the ingredients Less

It was a cold snowy day when we visited Ebitei Bekkan #海老亭別館 in Toyama, but the warm hospitality warmed us up immediately. The restaurant has over a hundred years of history and received 2 Michelin Stars in 2016. When it closed in 2018, the 4th generation chef-owner Kentaro Mura honed his skills further at the legendary Matsukawa in Tokyo before returning home and relocating the restaurant to a new location in 2022. We were served seasonal ingredients from the Hokuriku region including crab, buri, and squid. With the view from the counter overlooking a row of cherry blossom trees, it would be perfect to visit in the spring time.
