HAKU sits on the sixth floor of the Kanazawa FORUS building, just steps from Kanazawa Station, with counter seats that look out over the city by day and its lit skyline after dark. The kitchen builds a single omakase course around three elements: fresh seafood from the Hokuriku coast, selected Wagyu, and seasonal produce from Ishikawa Prefecture. Sushi and Wagyu are treated as equal parts of the meal rather than a starter-and-main pairing, and local vegetables are worked into the course rather than served as garnish.
The room holds 30 seats, split between open counter seating and a private room for guests who want a closed-off table. A sake pairing is available alongside the omakase course, matched to the seafood and Wagyu components of the meal. HAKU falls into the moderate price tier, positioning it as an accessible entry point for a counter-style omakase in Kanazawa rather than a special-occasion splurge.
HAKU is open every day from 11:00 to 22:00, covering lunch and dinner service without a midday closure. Reservations can be made by phone at 076-290-8265 or through the restaurant's TableCheck booking page, linked from its website. Given the counter format and limited seat count, booking ahead is advisable, particularly for dinner service or for guests wanting the private room.
