Katamachi Koryouri Sushi Sho

Restaurant Details

One might say that no restaurant takes more pride in Kanazawa than Katamachi Koryouri Sushi Sho. The restaurant’s emphasis on using local ingredients makes it both a point of curiosity for travelers from all over the world, and a mainstay for local residents.

The sushi rice is grown in the nearby Noto Peninsula, while its vinegar is sourced from a historical Kanazawa brewery, made from a blend of two types of local rice. Even the salt served with the squid and conger eel is made in the Agehama tradition, a salt-making style unique to the peninsula that involves collecting plankton-rich seawater in wooden buckets at daybreak.

That’s to say nothing of the preparation methods. Each individual grain of sushi rice at Sho is lovingly coated with vinegar using a special brushing technique. This gives it a texture that not only melts in the mouth, but elevates that of the other ingredients, whether they be the freshest blackthroat seaperch, sea urchin or yellowtail.
