      Try local specialties

      There are several foods Japan is known for, like delicate sushi and rich, flavorful ramen. But on food tours of Kanazawa, you’ll discover a whole new selection of unexpected dishes. Try a few (or several!) of the iconic Kanazawa foods that have put the city on Japan’s culinary map. Kanazawa food tours will introduce you to all sorts of delights, from crunchy croquettes to Kanazawa-style curry (a tasty sauce served with a pork cutlet) to Hanton rice – fried rice under a blanket of omelet. And for something a little more opulent? The city is also known for its glittering gold-leaf ice cream!

      A lunch date with a local

      There’s nobody more qualified than a local to plan Kanazawa food tours. A local guide has spent years scoping out the food scene, and they can take you to the much-loved eateries that have become firm favorites. If there’s one thing we can promise, it’s that you won’t go anywhere that caters to travelers alone. Who needs a guidebook on food tours of Kanazawa with City Unscripted? Your local host will be your GPS, Google Translate, and Yelp reviewer, leading you through the heart of the city where the best restaurants in Kanazawa are found. It doesn’t get more authentic than that!

      Kanazawa Food Tours
      From traditional to trendy

      On food tours of Kanazawa with City Unscripted, you’ll find that the best places to eat in Kanazawa take many forms. There’s downtown Katamachi, a swanky restaurant-lined shopping and entertainment hub, and the traditional Omicho Market, where street food reigns supreme. For something a little more laid-back, you could grab a few bar snacks (locals recommend sashimi) and a cold beer at your host’s favorite izakaya. Or maybe your Kanazawa food tours could take you to the historic Nishi Chaya district, a single street where you’ll find shops selling Rakugan, Kanazawa’s pastel-colored sweets.

        We had an amazing day touring Kanazawa with Lucy. She is knowledgeable, patient, and delightful. She took the time to explain where we were going, the history and importance of the place, and suggested other places of interest. We would book a tour with her again, anytime!

        He gave us any time we need, answered all our questions and showed us all the lovely places we would like to see. We’ve had a great day with him. He introduced us in a typical local cafe and explained, how Japanese join their tea time. As well we visited a Samurai house and had a walk around this area.

        We had a wonderful tour. Our day was well planned while still allowing flexibility for our interests. We covered a lot of the history, art and food of Kanazawa. Selda had beautiful English and was very warm and full of great answers!
