There are many local foods we try to enjoy while in Kanazawa. One of the dishes is oden, a hotpot of mostly fishcakes, but also daikon, eggs, fu wheat gluten, and more.

Chikuwa is a casual stand inside of Kanazawa Station that diners can enjoy craft beer and oden. We grabbed just a few items as we had a shinkansen bullet train back to Tokyo to catch. The signature chikuwa grilled fish cake, boiled egg, and kuruma bu wheat gluten was all delicious. We tried to go the day before but there was a long line.

On future visits I will try the miso marinated cream cheese, tomato with miso sauce, and tsukemono pickles. To end the meal the umeboshi and aosa sea vegetable ochazuké rice looks good.

Chikuwa is in the Anto 100 Bangai Nishi section in a section called Hyaku Ban Kitchen. Near Chikuwa there is a cool sake shokudō by @noguchi_naohiko_official which will open on February 9th, 2024. Very exciting news for saké lovers.
