Kaga Yasuke sits on a one-way side street in Kanazawa's Honmachi district, a short walk from the station. The main room is a ten-seat counter (expandable to 15 for a full buyout), where diners can order nigiri and sashimi piece by piece, set a budget and let the kitchen choose, or ask for a loose omakase built around specific items they want included.
A reference set — eight pieces of nigiri plus two kinds of nori roll — runs ¥4,680, giving a sense of scale for a counter meal here. Fish comes primarily from Noto, Himi and Wakasa, the three main ports of the Hokuriku region, and the sushi is served piece by piece with a house-made nikiri soy. Seasonal items such as kegani, kanoukani crab, shirako and firefly squid appear depending on the month, and some — including crab dishes — require advance reservation rather than same-day ordering.
The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner, 12:00 to 22:00, closed Mondays with some irregular exceptions around holidays. English menus are available, dress is smart casual, and payment includes cash, credit card, PayPay and sushi vouchers — it is not cash-only. A second-floor tatami room exists but is currently not accepting bookings. Parking is limited to three cars, and the one-way street means cars cannot approach from the main avenue. Reservation lead time is around two days, and booking difficulty is moderate rather than requiring months of advance planning.
Good to know
- How far ahead should I book?
- Plan for about two days' notice. Certain seasonal or crab dishes require advance reservation and cannot be ordered same-day.
- What does a meal cost?
- A reference omakase set of eight nigiri plus two nori rolls is ¥4,680; diners can also order à la carte or set their own budget and let the chef choose within it.
- Is there an English menu?
- Yes, an English menu is available, and the counter staff can take budget or preference-based requests directly.
- Can I drive there?
- Parking is limited to three cars, and the street is one-way, so cars cannot enter from the main avenue — confirm the approach route with the restaurant when booking.
- Is the private tatami room available?
- The second-floor tatami room exists but is currently not accepting reservations; check directly with the restaurant for updates.
