Winter in Kanazawa now comes with a stay plan built around the season's best seafood. Hotel Kanazawa will begin selling a special overnight plan on December 1, 2026 (Tue) for a limited time. It combines the "Hokuriku Meguri Kaiseki," a dinner that features three of Hokuriku's signature winter ingredients, sweet shrimp (amaebi), snow crab (zuwaigani) and yellowtail (buri), with the hotel's breakfast buffet.
Savoring Hokuriku's Winter
Winter is known as the season when Hokuriku shows off its food, drawing attention from across Japan. Ingredients raised in the harsh winter Sea of Japan are rich in fat and deep in umami. Hotel Kanazawa's chefs prepared this kaiseki to bring out the natural character of each ingredient, with the aim of making a winter trip to Kanazawa more memorable.
All Three of Hokuriku's Winter Delicacies
The menu covers all three of Hokuriku's celebrated winter flavors: sweet shrimp with a melt-in-the-mouth sweetness, snow crab (often called the king of winter flavors), and yellowtail rich in fat and umami. Each dish is crafted with care, and together the courses are meant to feel like a tour of Hokuriku on the palate.
