Eat Like A Local In Kanazawa
Overview
Kanazawa has earned its reputation as a culinary powerhouse with some of the best fresh produce in Japan. With your local host as a GPS and menu decipherer, sample street food at Omicho Market – crunchy seafood- or veggie-filled Omicho croquettes are famous for being some of the best in the country – and cool down with glittering gold leaf ice-cream. Tuck into Kanazawa-style curry, and scope out the food scene in downtown Katamachi, before heading to an izakaya and savoring some of Japan’s freshest sashimi with a cold beer.
Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Met Jorge in the hotel lobby. Kanazawa has great food and we started with sushi at a restaurant in the train station. In fact, we could have spent the evening there since the sashimi was so good but we then moved to dining on grilled meats at a Korean barbecue. Finally ended up at a restaurant that serves tempura skewers. Jorge was very entertaining and gave us a good perspective of an expatriate working in Japan. Nice tour for a survey of Kanazawa cuisine.
