Kuro Maru – Yakiniku
Located close to Kanazawa station, the yakiniku restaurant Kuro Maru has delicious Japanese meat and a great atmosphere. A sister shop of Maru, both of these restaurants serve top class wagyu (Japanese beef), but are easy on the wallet.

The Godburger – hamburger shop
Right next to the samurai district, The Godburger has some of the best hamburgers in Kanazawa. With juicy but not too oily meat and original recipe buns, these hamburgers are to die for. With chilli beans, avocado, fried egg, double patty, bacon, and veggie burgers (just to name a few) the menu here runs deep.
Plat Home – Japanese and fusion
Plat Home calls itself “the artisans kitchen”. We couldn’t agree more. With delicious traditional Japanese food, exquisite presentation, and an atmosphere combining east and west, Plat Home is an awesome place for dinner. The menu changes daily, so you can always expect fresh fish, tender meat, and delicious veggies.
nyumba
25 craft beers and home cooked Japanese food make nyumba a great dining bar close to Kanazawa station. Run by a laid back family, the owner Makoto mans the bar and his mom cooks up anything from tasty appetizers to hearty meals. With good food, an at home atmosphere, and craft beers to top it all off, nyumba is no doubt a fun place to grab a drink or get some grub.
Maru – Yakiniku
If you want high quality Japanese beef at a great price, Maru is the place. They serve A4 ranking wagyu (A5 being the top) at this yakiniku restaurant, and like Korean barbecue, you grill your own meat just the way you like it.
