“Masshi” in the Kanazawa dialect means “give it a try.” The Kanazawa Gourmet Tour is a 45-minute stroll guided by an OMO Ranger, offering a taste of Kanazawa’s everyday life. Wander through local shops, cozy izakaya bars, and softly lit backstreets while discovering how the people of Kanazawa live, eat, and connect with their community. This short journey lets you experience the city’s authentic charm through its food, warmth, and local culture—a walk that reveals the real heart of Kanazawa.

Katamachi, Kanazawa’s oldest and most vibrant entertainment district, is home to long-loved restaurants where locals have gathered for generations. Many specialize in sushi and seafood izakaya serving fish freshly delivered from nearby ports, offering flavors that reflect Kanazawa’s unique dashi culture and deep culinary heritage. During the Kanazawa Gourmet Tour, OMO staff introduce “insider” restaurants known only to locals. As you stroll through lantern-lit alleys, you’ll discover authentic Kanazawa gourmet experiences that bring the city’s warm spirit and local dining traditions to life.
