On the 6th floor of the Forus department store in a food court with some interesting options as well. Mori Mori conveyor sushi was high quality with excellent service. Strongly recommend the 3 or 5 piece sushi sets when ordering. Given its popularity there is generally a wait - we waited 30 minutes for a group of 4. The quality of the food was definitely worth the wait. For English speakers, there is a kiosk at the entrance where you enter the number of people in your party and your seating preference: at the bar, in a booth, or either. Then grab a seat on the wooden benches and wait for your number to get called. I hovered by the kiosk since the woman doing the seating only spoke Japanese.

An excellent sushi chef in Tokyo recommended visiting Sushi Maimon, but also gave me the following caveat: The usual sushi you'll eat won't be that special (maguro, saba, aji, ika, tako, etc.) so keep your expectations low. But, for the stuff that's caught locally, the sushi is really impressive. I went to Sushi Maimon last weekend and really enjoyed it. There are sets to order, but I opted for "ikkan zutsu" (ordering "piece by piece"). As expected, the tuna, mackerel, and squid were solid, but nothing spectacular. Where Maimon really shines is in the fish that are local to the Japan Sea. The Nodoguro (black-throated perch or rosy seabass) was amazing -- among the best tasting sushi I've ever had. Slightly more expensive, but totally worth it. Likewise, the Shiroebi (white shrimp) was also delicious. And, because it's Kanazawa they garnish the shiroebi with gold leaf; really nice touch.As others have indicated, it's conveniently located within the Kanazawa Station building, so if you've just arrived in Kanazawa, it's a great way to get a first taste of what Kanazawa has to offer.

The small restaurant is located a little off the beaten track in a quiet residential area. It is beautifully furnished and you are warmly welcomed. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The served sushi and other dishes are deviating from the standard and are interpreted somewhat more freely. And that's good, because everything was very tasty. The choice of drinks is also very good. The price is absolutely reasonable. A great location in Kanazawa. Gladly again. From me to the team: æé£ã
6. Taiga Noodles

I walked from my hotel and got there just around 5:30PM. No line-ups, no waits. Picked the squid ink noodle. Excellent soup, although not as dense or as black as I would hope. Great flavour though - nothing to criticise on that front. Noodles are nice and thin, can be cooked hard, super crunchy bamboo and excellent "coca cola"/christmas ham type of charsiu. No gyoza available, but a lovely sweet veggie juice, complimentary, which the inexperienced young server almost refused me a second shot, even after I said I'd pay for it. Excellent music playing on the loudspeakers. By all means it is a worthwhile joint to have and have a superb ramen. Lovely.

One of our favourite meals during our two weeks in Japan. Would recommend booking a table as we had to wait around 1 1/4 hours for one. Luckily there is a great little craft beer bar round to corner. Had some vegetarian options and staff spoke some English and were able to advise about ingredients such as fish in sauces. Would recommend the corn tempura and the beef fillet mignon steak as the stand out dishes ordered by our group.
