Steak Rokkakudō — Restaurant in Kanazawa

Food: 4.5 stars Service: 5 stars Ambience: 4 stars

The steak was excellent. The chef salted it a lot, which I quite enjoy but my partner didn't as much. We also disagreed on the mouthfeel of the steak - I thought it melted and he thought it required a good amount of chewing. So I feel like I can't give a full 5 stars for the food.

The chef was efficient, we had our steak in front of us within 20 minutes of sitting down. In that first 20 minutes we were also served an appetizer of crab custard, an appetizer of roast beef, and a salad.

The real reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because I felt rushed to finish. Once our steak was served, our chef told us that when we're ready for dessert we should go into the next room. Indeed, we left the teppanyaki table to go to the next room for dessert, and it felt like they were trying to squeeze in another customer at the grill. This isn't the most expensive steak dinner I've had in Japan, but it wasn't cheap either. I would've expected to enjoy my meal in one spot...

This Teppanyaki restaurant is located on a hill, great short walk in a autumn setting with the red leaves. The wagyu beef is definitely one of the best we had. We visited on a Saturday. The only time available was 4:30 the first shift. The dinner went very quickly wasn’t able to slowly enjoy. After we finished the main course, they moved us to an area for coffee and dessert. Overall the beef and the garlic fried rice was very good but unfortunately we felt a little bit pushed by the quick pace of the chef. Please do make reservation and they have...

I visited after making a reservation about a month in advance. It was a weekday during Golden Week, so it wasn't fully booked, but there was a constant stream of customers, and the chef was working tirelessly. I heard that weekends are incredibly busy, so I recommend making a reservation if you plan to visit on a weekend.

I ordered the Rokkakudo Noto Beef Dinner Course for ¥12,320, plus drinks and a change of rice to garlic rice, bringing the total to around ¥14,000.

The course included:

Appetizer: Kintoki grass nama-fu (wheat gluten) and sautéed Black cod, etc. Soup: Onion soup Salad using Kaga vegetables Fried fugu (pufferfish) The hospitality was wonderful, and I had a fun and lovely time.

The Noto beef was sweet and full of umami – a flavor I wanted to savor forever. All the dishes were satisfying, as you could enjoy delicious Kaga vegetables and Noto seafood. The aged potatoes were especially delicious! (lol)

I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions. I would love to visit...
