Kataori is Kanazawa’s number one kaiseki and kaiseki restaurant. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best ryotei restaurant in Japan rather than the number one in Kanazawa. The restaurant has a rating of over 4.5 on the food log. The restaurant is so famous that it is even listed in the Michelin Guide. The price for the omakase course alone is over 30,000 yen. Even if the price is high, it is worth visiting at least once!
No. 1 in Kanazawa’s ryotei ranking, Kataori is not a date.
Kataori is an omakase menu. It’s so good that it makes you think, 「Who else is going to be satisfied?」 Each sophisticated dish is sure to impress your taste buds.
They purchase the finest ingredients every morning.
I will also post the reservation page. But it is also difficult to make a reservation. The menu includes the following items.
- Fish from the seas around Hokuriku
- queen crab
- spear crab (any crab of family Pinnotheridae)
- side dish
- sashimi
- meal composed of a raw egg mixed with white rice, often seasoned with soy sauce
The above is just an example, and we will recommend dishes depending on the day. In the fall, we sometimes spend hours picking the best matsutake mushrooms. The commonplace dishes are reputed to have a very well-honed taste. In particular, the one-fold crab is superb. It is a good place to visit during the crab season.

The level of satisfaction is just by looking at the pictures. There is no doubt that this is one of the best ryotei not only in Kanazawa but also in Japan. Kataori always reigns supreme in ryotei rankings. It is a ryotei you want to visit at least once in your life.
