Overview

  • Explore the soul of Kanazawa through its food on this private, fully customisable tour led by a friendly government-licensed local guide. The highlight is Omicho Market, the city's lively kitchen for nearly 300 years, where narrow lanes overflow with the Sea of Japan's freshest catch. Your guide walks you through the bustling stalls, helps you choose the best spots, and introduces local specialities such as just-caught sushi, sweet snow crab, plump oysters and creamy sea urchin, explaining the seasonal catch and regional food culture while handling the ordering so you can simply relax and eat like a local. Because this is a private experience for your group only, the pace is entirely yours. Ask all the questions you like and let your guide tailor the day to your tastes, from market sampling to local sake and Kanazawa's refined Kaga cuisine. More than just a meal, it is a warm, personal welcome to Kanazawa.
