Enuma Station Bistro — Restaurant in Kaga

Was recommended to come here by a local cafe owner and it was seriously the best decision ever. You may think that French food does not match with the Yamanaka Onsen area, however the reason that we come to onsens is for tranquility and rest. I can say that my experience here has been the most peaceful with the lovely interior, calm jazz music and warm lights. Moreover, I felt so blessed seeing the chef right in front of my eyes preparing each dish so carefully.

Dishes were absolutely delicious with everything being constructed from scratch, the sauces, the drinks, even the bread!!! We had a five course here and every dish had the ingredients so beautifully prepared, the soup was especially delicious and so so creamy. The couple that works here are so nice and the wife even helped to show us good public onsens in the area and recommend some craft shops to visit when she heard we were looking to buy some authentic Japanese kutaniyaki and lacquerware dishes.

Truly so so humbled that a place like this exists in a little town and can say that Japan never ceases to amaze me with the little surprises hidden in...

My wife and I had an incredible culinary experience at Enuma station. Near the open modern kitchen we saw pictures of tennis legend Roger Federer and amazing chef of le Bernardin NYC Eric Rippert posing with Enuma station chef .We knew right away we were in the right place and in good company. We were staying at Kayotei Ryokan and the fantastic owner who had been previously as a manager at the Ritz Carlton highly recommended this place. We elected to have an all fish menu since we were near the village of Ashidate on the Sea of Japan. Seared bonito tuna with a julienne of vegetables and Amberjack sashimi with fresh wasabi from Hokkaido. We then continued with delicious sea bass from Japan with eggplant. We then had a fabulous flounder fish in a very delicate sauce . We finished with a very light desert eith sorbet and peaches . Enuma station chef master fresh ingredients from the Sea of Japan and local produces from the Kagaonsen region . This is a perfect marriage of Japanese outstanding cuisine and French technique. We very highly recommend...

My wife and I had dinner here as part of our 2 night stay in Yamanaka Onsen for our honeymoon and it was nothing short of perfection. Chef Kuchide and his wife run a lovely, modern French-Japanese bistro where everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere is beautifully crafted and perfectly in sync. Every dish was delicious, unique and bursting with flavor from start to finish. The service, run entirely by Chef Kuchide’s wife, was exquisite and we felt very much at home while enjoying all the flavors of Ishikawa. We would absolutely dine here again and I hope more people hear about Enuma Station and come try the wonderful food they are providing to...
