長八 金沢駅前店

Our hotel concierge recommended us this restaurant which is only 6 minutes walking distance. We ordered sake and chef’s choice sashimi, it is so delicious. Since we are here in Kanazawa the most famous dish is king crab. We just can’t leave here without it. We ordered it in two ways, sashimi and st...eamed. It is beautifully prepared and we enjoyed it very much, though it is quite pricey as well. Hey, we are on vacation, right! The service is great, the chefs are amazing. Highly recommended to try out.

Great variety on the menu. The Sushi was wonderful . Near the main railroad station and an easy walk from the Hyatt. Try the grilled local beef

Got a recommendation for this restaurant from the concierge at a nearby hotel. It did not disappoint. Staff was pleasant, quick to seat us and the sushi outstanding, and served promptly. I had the sushi sampler platter with 10 pieces, and my wife the sampler with 5 pieces. We also had steamed dumpli...ngs. A nice sake rounded out the meal.

When in Japan, it can be a daunting job to pick the right sushi restaurant. You can get sushi at a 3-star Michelin restaurant that will cost you a fortune and go home feeling unsure if it was worth it, or have very cheap conveyor belt sushi and feel bad because you could have gotten this at home as... well. And then there are the places in-between, the sit-down specialty restaurants with mid-range prices (which are still expensive to Western standards). In such places, you would expect some really good fresh cuts of fish, some crazy sushi combinations, some nice local specialties, and some things you would normally never dream of putting into your mouth. Cho-Hachi, an unassuming place in front of the Kanazawa train station, ticked all those boxes, and was therefore without a doubt the best sushi experience of our 14-day trip through Japan. The tuna, salmon and unagi were very fresh and tasty, the sushi spring rolls were an amazing, original combo, the wasabi-filled sushi was a cool gimmick and the raw octopuses marinated in red wine vinegar were a strange yet unforgettable delicacy. So if you make it to Kanazawa, a town known for its quality seafood, I recommend to avoid the cheapo or overly expensive restaurants, and instead visit this place, take your time, order all kinds of things you haven't tried before, and enjoy yourself thoroughly.

We made a booking through our hotel and arrived and were shown directly to a counter seat. The place was busy and the “suits” (local businessmen) were already in very loud form, albeit in the next room. English seemed a problem and we were stuck looking at the picture menu (with some English titles...) which contained a lot of interesting things so happily we ordered away. It became clear though that only part of the menu had been translated and that there were a lot of dishes being prepared in front of us that we couldn’t see/read on the menu. We ate sushi and sashimi and then ordered tempura using our phone to find the right words but left feeling that we had missed out on a lot and were 2nd class customers. What we ate was great but we would have liked to have tried other things but it was not to be. Non-Japanese nationals don’t seem to be recognised here.
