1Kanazawa conveyor belt sushi Kirari
Exquisite sushi that combines freshness, flavor, and the essence of Kanazawa
This conveyor-belt sushi restaurant is located in the rotary at the Kanazawa Port exit of JR Kanazawa Station. The seafood is purchased directly from Kanazawa Port and Nanao Port that morning, so it is extremely fresh. Although it is a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant, the sushi does not rotate on a conveyor belt, but is served freshly made after an order is placed. The most popular dish is the "Kaga Goshu" set, which includes one piece each of "kiwami toro," "nodoguro," "uni ikura," "raw snow crab," and "live ume shellfish." You'll be surprised at how large the toppings are. The four types of "hime sushi," an original dish eaten with a spoon, are easy for children to eat.
There is also an original dish of Nodoguro and gold leaf
There are plenty of items here to enhance your travel mood, including 15 colorful Kanazawa-inspired picture plates and Kutani ware soy sauce dispensers. They also offer sushi that is typical of Kanazawa, which produces 98% of Japan's gold leaf. The Nodoguro Gold Leaf Sushi, two pieces of Nodoguro covered in glittering gold leaf, is a creative sushi that you'll want to try. The salt koji brings out the sweetness and umami, so you don't need to add soy sauce and can enjoy the gold leaf as well. In addition to sushi, they also have a wide selection of dishes such as deep-fried gasu shrimp and Kanazawa oden. Why not try it with some local Hokuriku sake?

2Morimori Sushi Kanazawa Station Branch
It's worth waiting in line for this feast of three dishes.
Located inside the fashion building "Forus Kanazawa" just outside the Kenrokuen Exit of JR Kanazawa Station, this popular restaurant has people lining up before it even opens. They offer a wide variety of seasonal ingredients, with a focus on seafood from the Hokuriku region, caught in Noto fishing grounds such as Kanazawa Port, Nanao Port, Ushitsu Port, and Wajima Port. A must-try is the "Three-piece Platter," which features one piece of each of the day's recommendations. You can enjoy a luxurious comparison of three types of fatty nodoguro: raw, pickled, and salt-grilled. Another must-try is the "Hokuriku Shrimp All-You-Can" dish, which features raw sweet shrimp, white shrimp from Toyama Bay, and rich, sweet gasu shrimp.
In winter, you can also enjoy the Koubakogani gunkan.
You can enjoy the seasonal flavors of the Sea of Japan with the "Hokuriku Five-item Platter" featuring irresistibly chewy clams, gas shrimp, and nodoguro seaperch, and the "Firefly Squid Three-item Platter" featuring raw firefly squid, black sashimi, and pickled squid. Some regulars come to enjoy the rare female snow crab, Koubakogani, which is only available for fishing from early November to the end of December. The gunkan sushi, served with the shell and topped with plenty of crab meat, uchiko, and soko, fills your mouth with rich flavor. Another appealing feature is that you can order via touch panel, so you can enjoy freshly made sushi.

3Rotating Toyama Bay Sushidama Kanazawa Station
Enjoy seasonal Hokuriku delicacies such as hand-peeled white shrimp and gandu
This conveyor-belt sushi restaurant is part of the Kanazawa Tamazushi group, a long-established chain that has been in business for over 70 years. Fresh seasonal fish from all over Japan arrive twice a day, including seafood from Toyama Bay, known as a natural fish tank. They prepare and serve the ingredients each time. The recommended dish is the Kanazawa mori, which includes gasu shrimp, pacific flying squid, and gandou (a fish a little smaller than yellowtail) garnished with deep-fried shrimp heads. In winter, fatty winter yellowtail is used instead of gandou. The rich, sweet white shrimp is wrapped in kombu instead of nori seaweed. The moderate saltiness of the kombu and the firm texture of the shrimp, which can only be achieved by peeling it by hand, are irresistible.
A famous restaurant in the station building that you should visit as soon as you arrive at Kanazawa Station
A surprisingly popular item is the grilled conger eel, which is made by cooking conger eel caught at Kanazawa Port and other places in a homemade sauce and grilling it until it is fragrant. It is plump and soft, and has an addictive taste. The sushi rice is made from 100% Ishikawa Prefecture koshihikari rice, and the soy sauce is from Tsurugi-cho, Ishikawa, so you can enjoy local flavors. The miso soup, which is free on weekdays, is also comforting and has a nice taste. It is self-service and you can have as many refills as you like. The restaurant is located in the station building "Hyakuban-gai" directly connected to Kanazawa Station, making it convenient to stop by right after arriving in Kanazawa or before heading back home.

4Kaiten Sushi Okura
A pioneering restaurant in Kanazawa, a hotbed of conveyor belt sushi
This is a pioneer of conveyor belt sushi in Kanazawa, which opened about 45 years ago. Even in the days when there were only a few restaurants in Omicho Market, this restaurant gained popularity as a casual place to enjoy sushi. Even now, nearly half of the customers are local regulars. The manager goes to Kanazawa Central Market every morning to stock seasonal seafood from all over the country. Sometimes the manager, whose hobby is line fishing, will show you sea bream, flounder, and squid he has caught in the outer coast of Noto. We recommend checking out the "Manager's Recommendation of the Day," which changes every day.
Enjoy the large portions of five different local ingredients
The "Three Kinds Platter" and "Five Kinds Platter" menus were created in response to requests from female customers who wanted to try a variety of ingredients in each skewer. If you want to enjoy local fish from the Hokuriku region, be sure to try the "Kanazawa Five Kinds Platter," which features local sweet shrimp, blackthroat seaperch, yellowtail, live scallops, and hand-peeled white shrimp. All the ingredients are large and very filling. Outside of the fishing ban period from July to August, the rich local gasu shrimp is also a must-try. Come and enjoy Kanazawa's seasonal seafood, such as red squid and shellfish in summer, sandfish and sweet shrimp in autumn, and yellowtail, cod milt, and snow crab with delicious roe in winter.

5Omicho Market Sushi Main Store
A popular, homey shop in the lively Omicho Market
"We don't rotate the sushi unless we're busy, because we want you to enjoy the freshest ingredients at their best. But we still offer the prices of conveyor belt sushi," says the proprietress. The restaurant's homey atmosphere is also appealing. The ingredients are sourced from Kanazawa Central Market, as well as from connoisseurs in the neighboring Omicho Market, such as Yamaka Suisan and Oguchi Suisan. The chefs will sushi the seafood caught that morning at a steady pace. The popular set menu is the "Nodoguro Taste Comparison," which includes seven pieces of sushi on a sushi tray, including raw and seared Nodoguro, tuna belly, and clams. The Nodoguro is exceptionally tasty, with the sweetness of its fat spreading throughout your mouth.
Enjoy nigiri sushi made with the king of white fish, dogtooth seabass, and Noto pufferfish
The pufferfish from Ishikawa Prefecture, which has the highest catch of wild pufferfish in Japan, is also delicious. The extremely fresh pufferfish nigiri sushi is lightly seared and served with ponzu jelly and grated maple leaves, so it can be enjoyed as is. The gasu shrimp has a sweet and firm texture that is exquisite. Swordfish, known as sawara in Kanazawa, is also a popular dish with a light fat content. In addition to nigiri sushi, there is a wide variety of hearty seafood bowls, such as the "Seasonal Omakase Bowl" and the "Luxury Bowl" with nodoguro. The restaurant opens from 8:30am, so it's a good idea to visit for breakfast.

6Rotating Sushi Ponta
Authentic sushi made by a skilled chef at conveyor belt sushi prices
Founded as a diner about 30 years ago, it transformed into a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in 1999. The restaurant is located right in front of Kanazawa Central Market, and its philosophy is to source fresh fish from Kanazawa Port and other parts of the country, and serve it cheaply. It is crowded with local office workers on weekdays, and families in the evenings, most of whom order the set menu. There are seven types of lunch sets, with the "A Lunch" being 864 yen for 10 pieces of nigiri sushi, and the "Full Lunch" being 999 yen for 12 pieces, both of which are great value. Individual dishes are also reasonably priced at 108 to 648 yen per plate.
The freshness of the fish is guaranteed. The free fish soup is also delicious.
Recommended single items include sweet shrimp, clams, bonito, and fatty mackerel all caught at Kanazawa Port. In winter, you can enjoy the milt and the rich-tasting koubako crab, which is eaten with its uchiko (eggs inside the shell) and sotoko (eggs inside the abdomen). The ingredients are not rotated, so you can order and enjoy freshly made sushi. Another popular dish is the free "ara soup." The seafood broth is so flavorful that many customers ask for seconds. In addition to the counter, there are also booth seats and table seats where you have to take off your shoes, making it a relaxing place for families and groups.

7Conveyor belt sushi restaurant Sushikuinee! Prefectural Office Branch
A wide selection of the freshest ingredients from Kanazawa and Himi
This famous restaurant's Parking fills up even before opening time on weekdays. The menu includes a superb selection of ingredients, carefully prepared with extremely fresh fish, such as Yanagibachime (rockfish) caught at Kanazawa Port, sillago, red flounder, sea bream killed on board a boat in Himi, and soibachime (black rockfish). A popular dish among tourists is the "Hokuriku Selection Platter," which includes six types of fish, including wild red sea bream, sweet Noto squid, and white shrimp. The heshiko (mackerel pickled in rice bran) nigiri sushi topped with gold leaf is a rare dish that you won't find anywhere else. The deep, mature flavor goes well with the Koshihikari rice from Oku-Noto.
Live fish swimming in the kitchen's fish tank are turned into sushi
The restaurant's kitchen has two fish tanks where sea bream, flounder, horse mackerel and other fish swim. The fish are quickly butchered by a chef, and the simmered fish is a must-try dish. We also recommend the stewed conger eel, which is cooked in the restaurant and served with a homemade sauce that goes well with the rice. The thin rolls made with pickled Nakajimana, a traditional Noto vegetable, have an addictive bitter taste. The spacious restaurant has counter seats, table seats and raised seating, and orders are made via touch panel. The tables and raised seating are fitted with the high-speed lanes where sushi is delivered on the Shinkansen, making it fun for children.

8Kanazawa Maimon Sushi Main Store
Enjoy seafood from the Hokuriku region served on Kutani ware at "Kagamae Sushi"
This restaurant is bustling with a wide range of customers, from tourists to families with children, office workers, and elderly people. The secret to its popularity is the variety of fresh seafood procured by connoisseurs who are experts on Ishikawa fish. The fish are mainly delivered directly from the ports of Kanazawa, Noto, Nanao, and Suzu, which are then filleted by skilled craftsmen and made into sushi after an order is placed. If you want to taste the delicious foods of the Hokuriku region all at once, try the "Kaga Hyakumangoku Nigiri" with nodoguro, sweet shrimp, white shrimp, crab meat, and clams. The food is served on colorful Kutani ware, a typical Kanazawa touch.
Enjoy fresh fish caught that morning, delivered straight from Kanazawa Port
Check out the "Today's Recommended Menu" for fresh fish delivered directly from Kanazawa Port, such as Noto filefish, bigfin reef squid, namera (red grouper), and gand (a fish slightly smaller than yellowtail). The sweet and rich gasu shrimp is served with deep-fried shrimp heads. There are also plenty of three-item platters, such as "Shiromono Zanmai" and "Aburi Zanmai" with blackthroat seaperch, seasonal squid, and white shrimp gunkan. For children up to elementary school age, there is a "Fun Sushi Shop Set" where they can make their own nigiri, gunkan, and inari sushi.
