Sabo Soshin — Restaurant in Kanazawa

SUMMARY I had the traditional green tea red bean dessert (¥950). If you like traditional Chinese/Asian desserts you will love this choice like I did. Tip: pour the green tea onto the red bean and chestnut concoction. The ambience of this place is really cozy. On the outside you instantly notice the occer coloured house and the inside reminds me of English countryside look with exposed beams (check out the video). There is music playing however it is not loud and conversations can be had at a normal level. Not recommended to take online meetings here though.

Staff was very polite and spoke English well. Food was delivered quickly. Thumbs up !

The only downside to this place is that they do not accept VISA or Mastercard so remember to bring your stash of cash :) WHAT I ORDERED 5/5 AMBIENCE 4/5 STAFF...
