A la ferme de Shinjiro — Restaurant in Kanazawa

This was our first western cuisine restaurant in Kanazawa and what a gem of a place. Small 16 seater restaurant with a openstyle kitchen and you get treated by the chef in every single dish. We tried the 13,300 yen dinner course with wine pairing and we loved every dish in our 6 course menu.

Starting with amuse bouche every single dish showcases local produce with french style cooking and all the produce complemented each other harmounishly. Simple cooking with delicate style but tasted delicious.

The chef makes homage to all the local ingredients and was a delight to try his take of pairing those ingredients in every course. Wine pairing is done from the local winery for the first two rounds which was unique and somewhat of a eye-opener and the last two rounds with french wines.

Overall we loved our dining experience and had a enjoyable evening at this...

The restaurant is run by an organic winery, and the pairing with wine is superb. It truly showcases the strength of Japanese wine.

The dishes are exceptionally delicious, featuring Kaga's traditional vegetables. As it's French cuisine, it's easy for foreigners to enjoy. The tableware, traditional Kutani ware from Kanazawa, enhances the dining experience and stimulates the appetite.

The bread served uses organic wheat grown by the owner, making it unquestionably delicious.

The ambiance of the restaurant is a comfortable space, with a modern twist on a traditional Japanese house.

When in Kanazawa, this is a place where you can experience both tradition and innovation. You...

It has been such a pleasure to dine at A la ferme de Shinjiro on my first day visiting Kanazawa (20 February 2025). I am grateful for Chef Susaki-san and his team for the wonderful culinary experience combining the best of French and Japanese cooking techniques using fresh local produce. The food was exquisite and the service impeccable. I particularly liked the crab flan with mushroom consommé as well as the Noto A5 wagyu beef with red wine sauce. The other dishes including the flounder meunière with fugu milt in saffron sauce and the red snow crab with tuna tartare were also outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone...
