This isn’t a scripted food tour—it’s a flexible, personalized tasting experience through Kanazawa’s rich culinary culture, guided by a local host who knows the city’s flavors inside and out. Whether you're craving comfort street food, regional specialties, or something unexpected, your journey is built entirely around your appetite and interests.
From the stalls of Omicho Market to tucked-away snack counters and lively izakaya streets, you’ll explore the neighborhoods where locals actually eat. Expect to uncover hidden gems, hear the stories behind the dishes, and enjoy spontaneous moments that go beyond what’s listed on any menu.
After booking, you’ll receive a short questionnaire to tell us about your tastes and preferences. Based on your responses, we’ll match you with a like-minded host who will reach out to co-create your ideal food adventure. You’ll have the freedom to adapt the route as you go—because in Kanazawa, the best meals are often found where you least expect them.
