Shikiha sits in the Nagamachi samurai district of Kanazawa, a neighborhood known for its preserved earthen walls and canals. The restaurant is classified as kappo, a style of Japanese cooking built around a counter where dishes are prepared and served directly to seated guests, and it is listed as English friendly, which suggests staff can accommodate non-Japanese speaking visitors to some degree.
The restaurant falls into the top price tier on OmakaseGuide's four-point scale, placing it among the more expensive dining options in the region, though specific course prices are not listed here and should be confirmed directly with the restaurant.
Hours run from noon to 11pm every day except Monday, when the restaurant is closed. This single, consistent daily schedule across six days of the week gives some flexibility for both lunch and dinner reservations, though exact seating times and whether the kitchen takes a break between lunch and dinner service are not specified.
Shikiha does not appear to maintain a conventional website; its primary online presence is an Instagram account, which is likely the best source for current photos, seasonal menu hints, and possibly booking instructions. The listed phone number, 076-223-8841, is the most direct way to inquire about reservations, seat availability, and pricing. Given the counter-only format typical of kappo dining, seating is presumed limited, though the exact number of counter seats is not confirmed.
