Sushi Hachiya is a counter-only Edomae sushi restaurant in Kanazawa's Shimeno Nakamachi district, serving a menu that changes daily according to the catch and seasonal Kaga vegetables. The restaurant draws both travelers and local Kanazawa regulars, a mix it notes it's happy to welcome regardless of where guests are from.
Service runs from 17:00, with last entry at 19:30, closing by 21:00 on Sundays and 22:00 the rest of the week. The restaurant is closed Mondays as well as the first and third Sunday of the month. The entire dining room is non-smoking.
This falls into the hard-to-book, counter-only category at a luxury price tier, with a reservation lead time of around three months. Parking is limited on site, and the restaurant asks drivers to carpool when possible if arriving by car.
Contact for booking is by phone at 076-233-3288, or through the restaurant's website. As with many counter-seat Edomae establishments, specifics on seat count, course pricing, and whether first-time or English-language reservations are accepted are best confirmed directly with the restaurant before planning a visit.
