About Kanazawa Food Tour

A guide for eating your way through Kanazawa

Kanazawa Food Tour is an independent guide for everyone who travels to Kanazawa to eat. Here you will find how the guided walk from Omicho Market to the Higashi Chaya District works and what it leaves you to pay, how to shop and eat at the market, how the food tours in town compare, which dishes to look for, what makes Kanazawa curry different, where sushi fits in, what gold leaf has to do with ice cream, how to pick and book a restaurant, how sake, soy sauce and miso are made around the city, what a cooking class teaches, and how an evening of izakaya and oden goes.

The site is available in English and five additional languages. It is written first in English.

How we research

Every number on our pages comes from a source that we link to at the bottom of the page: mostly the Kanazawa City Tourism Association, the Japan National Tourism Organization, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the National Tax Agency, Omicho Market's own site, the Japan Meteorological Agency's official 1991 to 2020 normals for its Kanazawa station, and day length we calculate ourselves. Information on tours, that is duration, languages, inclusions, and starting prices, is taken from the offers on GetYourGuide.

Stalls open and close by the season and the weekday, fish and crab come and go with the sea, and many food walks charge for the guide while you pay for the food. Listings also differ in what they include, tastings and drinks above all. That is why we tell you plainly what a listing states and what it leaves open.

How we make money

Kanazawa Food Tour is funded through the GetYourGuide affiliate program. When you book through one of our links, we receive a commission; your price remains the same. There are no advertising banners here, and we do not sell your data.
