A unique Japanese dining experience that captures the fleeting moment where region meets season—an unforgettable encounter.

The owner, Takuya Kataori, makes it his daily routine to gather ingredients from the mountains and fishing ports. He searches for only the finest ingredients, from luxurious matsutake mushrooms, matsu...ba crabs, and fugu to lesser-known wild vegetables and seaweeds, all without compromise, relying on his own eyes and palate.

The cooking technique he employs is a refined approach that enhances these ingredients. Using the pure water of Noto, top-quality dashi, and minimal seasoning, he brings out the true potential of the ingredients. This clear flavor showcases the richness of Ishikawa's produce and the depth of Japanese cuisine.

ChefKataori Takuya - A Seeker in Pursuit of Ishikawa's Culinary Delights

After training for 11 years at the now-closed renowned Kanazawa restaurant "Kaiseki Tsurukou," he was recognized for his skills and served as the head chef at "Gyokusentei," where he earned a Michelin star. In 2019, he became independent and opened "Kataori," which quickly gained a reputation and has now become one of the hardest restaurants to book in the Hokuriku region. Nevertheless, he continues to pursue further culinary excellence with an insatiable curiosity, stating, "There may be more treasures in Ishikawa that I don't know about. My ideal is still far ahead."

Drink"The Commitment Behind the Uncompromising Effort and Time Dedicated to Our Customers."

At the beginning of the course, a bowl of porridge is served. "The reason I serve porridge first is because I was deeply moved by the porridge my grandmother made for me when I was unwell," says Mr. Kataori. In other words, Mr. Kataori's cooking embodies the same heartfelt care for guests that a grandmother has for her grandchildren. Whether it's flying around Noto in search of ingredients or spending four hours carefully preparing the broth, everything is supported by his thoughts for the customers who come to dine.

The location is at the foot of the Tenjin Bridge over the Asanogawa River. While the opposite bank, separated by a row of pine trees, overlooks the bustling Higashi Chaya District, this side of the river exudes a calm and serene atmosphere. Accompanied by the gentle murmuring of the Asanogawa, also known as "Onnagawa" due to its graceful flow, it offers a tranquil moment. The interior of the restaurant, featuring a white wooden counter, reflects the gentle space characteristic of Mr. Kataori. It is filled with a dignified cleanliness, much like Mr. Kataori's cuisine, which adheres to the "aesthetics of subtraction."
