“Great food in a fine modern atmosphere. Tatami seating but they will give you a chair or stool at your request.”
It was likely the best sashimi dining experience that I have had in Japan or anywhere. Our first trip to this great country, so most experience has been had in NYC, DC, Phila, & London. Still, we are already 2 weeks so far in Japan. Super fresh cubed clean seafood set into a spiced large poke bowl.... Enjoyed the red vinegar rice. The only criticism that I might give is the linear seating which, in a party of seven, made conversation either impossible or abnormally loud. Just go and enjoy it. Parking right nearby.

“Wonderful Kanazawa restaurant near station”
Outstanding service and food. Beautifully designed space. You will be kneeling on tatami floor throughout the meal. This could be a challenge to some diners

“Dwarf Joke”
My wife and I just had a week in Kanazawa, Japan. All but one of the seven restaurants we went were excellent. The exception was Tile. The architect must have a wicked sense of humour. First off, you have to enter through a half-door that is only about 3 or 4 feet off the ground. You have to crawl ...or crouch. I don’t know how an elderly person or anyone with a bad back might manage. Upstairs, the walls were distressed concrete, the ceiling looked as if it was about collapse and there were factory windows. We sat on tatami on thin cushions. This was very uncomfortable. All the customers were foreigners. The set dish was called “mosaic bowl”. It was a large glass dish of the kind normally used for a trifle. It contained lumps of cold rice. One could choose between five and eight ‘dishes’ to put on the rice. Each of them was thimble-sized, served in what looked like tiny glass ashtrays e.g. there was a fingernail of shrimp, of salmon, of squid, of roe. A one-note mental drilling – loud, awful American ‘rap’ - did little to ease digestion. This might be a place where Snow White comes with her seven mates, but we certainly would not recommend it. We were still hungry and went back to our hotel for a sandwich!

“Imaginative and original concept”
Imaginative concept where we selected a number of different mostly fish dishes, which were served alongside accompanying dishes very elegantly. Excellent appetisers as well.
