Umi-tei Notokichi

Kanazawa & the Hokuriku Coast


Umi-tei Notokichi has been a popular local haunt for generations – it's a quintessential Japanese seafood experience. Purists should keep it simple and go for the sashimi moriawase (sashimi of the day). It also does a mean version of katsudon (crumbed pork cutlet on rice).
