Born in Ishikawa Prefecture and trained in Kansai, owner-chef Manabu Nakamura sources most of his ingredients from the Hokuriku region, favouring lighter flavours tinged with kombu dashi. Awabi from the Noto Peninsula, oysters from Nanao and Kano crab from Kanaiwa bring a seasonal flair. Seafood is seasoned with salt from Suzu. Koshihikari rice from his hometown of Tsubata is used. Dishes are served on Wajima lacquerware and Kutani porcelain, imparting a graceful Kanazawa ambience.
