Discover the Soul of Kanazawa: Unagi and Omicho Market in Summer

Kanazawa, the cultural jewel of Japan's Hokuriku region, offers more than just temples, geisha districts, and museums. It also holds a deep-rooted culinary tradition tied to the land, sea, and seasons. One of the most beloved summer delicacies in Japan—unagi, or grilled freshwater eel—takes center stage during Doyo no Ushi no Hi, or the “Midsummer Day of the Ox.” And there’s no better place to explore this tradition than Omicho Market, Kanazawa’s bustling seafood and street f

[An Unforgettable Night with Kanazawa Geisha!]
 Kanazawa’s geisha have preserved their elegant arts and spirit of hospitality since the Edo period. At IN KANAZAWA HOUSE, experience graceful dances, live shamisen music, and the unique ozashiki-daiko—a powerful drumming performance found only in Kanazawa.
A rare and beautiful encounter with tradition—only here.

金沢の芸者（芸妓）は、江戸時代から受け継がれてきた伝統とともに、日々芸を磨き、もてなしの心を大切にしています。ひがし、にし、主計町（かずえまち）の三つの茶屋街では、今もなお芸者たちが厳しい稽古を重ね、その技と美しさを守り続けています。

IN KANAZAWA HOUSEでは、静かな金澤町家のプライベートな空間で、金沢芸者による舞や音楽を間近に体験することができます。雅やかな踊り、繊細な三味線の音色、そして芸者ならではの気品ある所作。心に残る深い感動を味わえるひとときです。中でも注目すべきは、金沢ならではのお座敷太鼓。全国の中でも金沢だけで楽しめると言われており、大太鼓と締太鼓を組み合わせ、三味線の出囃子にあわせて巧みに演奏されるこの音楽は、まさに芸と遊びの粋を極めたもの。

金沢でしか味わえない、特別な夜の感動体験を、ぜひ。

Our machiya townhouse is over 100 years old.
Though we see it every day, we recently paused to take a closer look—and noticed how much the wooden pillars and sliding doors at the entrance had faded over time.
With the kind support of a local construction company we trust, we decided to take on the task of repainting and maintaining it ourselves.
There’s something truly special about watching the house slowly come back to life with each brushstroke. It was a rewarding and joyful experience.
We hope to continue caring for this beautiful machiya, and to do what we can to preserve it for the future—step by step, with our own hands.

築100年ほどになる私たちの町家。
毎日見慣れている風景も、ふと立ち止まって眺めると、玄関の引き戸や柱などの木の色がずいぶん褪せていることに気づきました。
今回は、日頃からお世話になっている地元の施工会社の方にサポートをいただきながら、自分たちの手でメンテナンス塗装にチャレンジ。
少しずつ手を加えるごとに、町家が美しく蘇っていくのを感じるのは、何とも嬉しい時間でした。
これからも、この町家と丁寧に向き合い、大切に守っていけるよう、できることを続けていきたいと思います。

The summer heat in Kanazawa has been relentless. Even so, we often see international guests exploring the city with smiles under the blazing sun. We truly hope everyone stays safe and well as they enjoy their travels.

As evening falls and the air turns a little cooler, guests at IN KANAZAWA HOUSE can enjoy an authentic geisha experience, along with a beautifully crafted Shokado bento from one of Kanazawa’s long-established ryotei restaurants.
Each dish reflects the flavors of the season—light, refreshing, and perfect for summer. Paired with sake, it’s a moment to indulge both your eyes and your palate.

May tonight be another unforgettable summer evening for our guests.

The other day, we welcomed a lovely family of four from France for a Temari sushi-making experience 🇫🇷🍣
With the help of a French-speaking guide, we led the workshop in Japanese.
One of the family members had a fairly good understanding of Japanese, so with some interpretation, we were also able to enjoy light conversation and a relaxed, friendly time together ✨
Their two sons, ages 8 and 11, were incredibly kind and bright. They tried sashimi for the first time and said “delicious👍” with smiles 😊 They were so focused and enthusiastic while making their own sushi—it made us so happy to see.

Each family member added their own creative touch and worked seriously to make some truly beautiful sushi👏
Thank you for spending such a fun time with us!

ご家族4人とも、それぞれ工夫しながら真剣に取り組んでくださって、とっても素敵なお寿司が完成しました👏

“Doyo no Ushi no Hi” – A Summer Tradition in Japan 🐟🇯🇵
 July 19th marked Doyo no Ushi no Hi, a traditional day in Japan when people eat eel (unagi) to build stamina and ward off summer fatigue during the hottest time of the year.
At Omicho Market, eel shops were extremely busy, with some seeing lines as long as two hours. Tadamura Fish Shop, where we regularly purchase sashimi for our temari sushi experience, was also grilling and selling eel at their storefront. The aroma of charcoal-grilled eel filled the air, drawing many customers.
Several members of the IN KANAZAWA HOUSE team also purchased eel from the shop, helping us stay energized for the summer ahead.💪☀️ The thick and juicy eel was absolutely delicious!

「土用の丑の日（どようのうしのひ）」は、日本の夏の風習で、特に暑さが厳しい時期にあたる日です。この日にうなぎ（ウナギ）を食べる習慣があり、栄養をつけて夏バテを防ぐとされています。

近江町市場にある鰻屋さんは、ここ連日大賑わい！今年の「土用の丑の日」にあたる7/19には、2時間待ちの列をなしているお店もありました。

私たちが普段、「手毬寿司作り体験」でお世話になっている忠村鮮魚店さんも、この日は店頭で沢山の鰻を焼いて販売！暑い中、炭火で焼き上げられる鰻のいい香り！IN KANAZAWA HOUSE のスタッフも何人か購入させてもらい、おかげで夏を元気に乗り切れそうです👍肉厚でジューシーな鰻、とっても美味しかったです！ご馳走様でした！

The other day, our team took part in a little staff training session to rediscover the charm of Omicho Market—Kanazawa’s beloved local marketplace.
We regularly guide guests through the market on our tours, but this was a great chance to reflect on how we can make the experience even more enjoyable and engaging.

We buy the ingredients for our cooking experiences right here at Omicho Market, so we often see the same friendly vendors—and the chats are always lively!
Before we knew it, everyone had their hands full with goodies “for tonight’s dinner” too 😄!
Omicho is full of new discoveries every time you visit, with fresh ingredients and warm, knowledgeable vendors who love what they do.
We hope to keep sharing the joy and spirit of Omicho Market with as many guests as possible!

先日スタッフ一同で、金沢市民の台所「近江町市場」の魅力を再発見するべく、研修を行いました。
普段ゲストの方をツアーでご案内していますが、どのようなご案内をしたらさらに楽しんで頂けるか、改めてみんなで確認＆共有しました。

普段クッキング体験の食材も市場で購入している為、普段からよく顔を合わせているお店の人たち。おしゃべりにも花が咲きます。
そして気づけばみんな、「今晩の夕飯に…」とどんどん手荷物が増えていく始末（笑）。

行けばいつも何かしら新しい食材との出会いがあり、楽しい発見に満ちている近江町市場。
食材や商品について深い知識と愛情をもつ、気さくで楽しいお店の方々が迎えてくれます。

これからも少しでも多くの皆さんに、近江町市場の魅力を伝えていけますように。

Recently, we had the pleasure of welcoming two guests from Italy for a Kintsugi experience.
 This session was held not at our usual IN KANAZAWA HOUSE machiya-house, but at the workshop of the artisan.
Using the professional tools normally used in their daily craft, the guests were able to enjoy an authentic and memorable experience. They were smiling throughout .😊

Traditional Kintsugi involves many intricate steps and usually takes several weeks—or even months—to complete. However, in this specially designed session, the artisan prepares the earlier stages in advance, allowing participants to complete the final steps themselves. This makes it possible to finish the experience in about 90 minutes and take home a beautifully restored piece as a unique souvenir.

We are often asked by international visitors if we know any shops that sell Kintsugi pottery. In such cases, we highly recommend this hands-on experience as a meaningful and personal alternative. 👍

For more information, please check the link in the comments.

先日、イタリアからの2名のお客さまが、金継ぎ体験をして下さいました。
場所は、IN KANAZAWA HOUSEの町家ではなく、「清瀬一光」さんの工房にて。
普段、加賀蒔絵の職人である清瀬さんのお道具を使っての金継ぎ体験。
終始笑顔で楽しんで下さいました😊

本来金継ぎは幾重もの工程を要する為、数週間から数ヶ月単位の時間が必要となります。
しかしこの金継ぎ体験では、最後の仕上げの直前まで職人さんが行ったものをご用意しての体験となる為、約１時間半の体験で金継ぎした器をお土産としてお持ち帰り頂けます。

よく海外のゲストの方から「金継ぎの器を売っているお店を知らないか」と聞かれますが、その場合はこちらの体験をお勧めしています👍
