The vibe inside feels very Showa-era. It’s not a big place, and when it’s crowded it can feel a bit tight, but that actually adds to the local izakaya feel.
Service isn’t especially warm, but they do what they need to do—nothing to complain about.

The broth is characterized by a gentle sweetness and a clean, refined finish. Signature ingredients include umegai sea snails landed in Kanazawa and the San’in region, and kuruma-fu-wheat gluten wrapped around a skewer and grilled. Lunch offerings include the Kito-kito Set, featuring assorted fresh fish sourced from Omicho Market, as well as nine other options such as the Hakusan Set, served with the local specialty Hakusan firm tofu. Kaga regional dishes like iwana arai, prepared with char scooped directly from the restaurant’s live tank, are also available. The sake selection includes more than 10 varieties of local brews.
The interior has 41 seats in total-15 counter seats and 26 table seats. At the counter, diners can choose their oden while surrounded by the inviting aroma of dashi.

They specialize in oden. The broth is super clear but packed with flavor—not overly salty, just the kind that gets more addictive the more you eat.
The daikon was seriously soaked through. One bite and it just burst with broth—so satisfying on a cold day. 🍢 The vibe is a bit old-school, and it gets crowded with both tourists and locals. Expect to wait in line during peak hours.
It’s not cheap, but the portion sizes and taste make it worth it.
