Enveloping the luxury and chic of the beautiful and splendid Hyakumangoku culture, the traditional Kaga cuisine that the long-established restaurant Kinjohro has cultivated from generation to generation is served in various situations such as entertainment, dinner, celebrations, and ceremonies.

Kinjohro, a long-established restaurant that has been walking with Kanazawa, a town of traditional arts, culture, and crafts since its establishment in 1890. However, the history we carry is not limited to the history of our founding.

The ruins of the Takataka Maeda mansion, which was acquired by the founder Kyubei Tsuchiya, had a splendid architecture and garden, and already contained the luxury and chic of the beautiful and splendid Hyakumangoku culture.

Kinjohro’s first mission is to connect the good old Japanese culture, which is being lost in modern times, to the next generation and disseminate it both domestically and internationally. And the pride and spirit that we are “the bearers of culture” is driving us living in the present age.

In addition, Kinjohro does not settle for the position of a first-class restaurant, but aims to be a “super-first-class” long-established restaurant inn in all aspects of taste, heart, and atmosphere.

We are proud that Kinjohro is the only place where we can provide a place that follows the traditional style of Kaga, from meals, accommodation, weddings, to ceremonies. It is our pleasure to create a memorable and precious moment at the turning point of your life.

Nowadays, in order to make Kinjohro widely known, we are actively disseminating its appeal through various events and public relations activities.

We are not afraid of evolution in order to preserve and connect the graceful and graceful traditions. And, with pride as a bearer of Japanese culture in Kanazawa, we will welcome our customers with the best hospitality that has always been with all our hearts.

History

The Asano River area ( Hashibacho, Owaricho, Namikimachi, Kazuemachi , Higashiyama, etc.), where the company was founded, has not only developed as a merchant town since ancient times, but also has a gorgeous culture that symbolizes the elegance of Kanazawa. It was also a prosperous place.

Kinjohro has a history of more than 130 years in this ancient place. It carefully inherits traditional culture, craftsmanship, and hospitality, and is still popular as one of the long-established restaurants that represent the ancient city of Kanazawa.

We will introduce its history and history along with valuable photographic materials at that time.

Accommodation

Japanese Cuisine

Seafood from the Sea of ​​Japan, delicacies created by the climate of Noto, sake from Hakusan, and many Kaga vegetables grown only in the land of Kanazawa. We keep track of those seasons and use the best recipes.

In addition , you can enjoy cooking with your five senses by generously using the vessels and works of art that have been passed down from generation to generation.

That is the basis of the long-established restaurant Kinjohro. We will cherish local ingredients, protect traditional Kaga cuisine, and strive to disseminate a new Kanazawa food culture.

Originally from the fisherman town of Noto, I grew up surrounded by fresh fish and vegetables from an early age and enjoyed the real taste as a matter of course.

Taking advantage of the sensibility cultivated through that experience, after joining Kinjohro at the age of 19, he has continued to earnestly improve his skills as a cook.

As a cook, I am proud that my commitment to the freshness of ingredients sets me apart from the rest. Especially for fish, we basically bid in the morning, but we also develop our own route to purchase from the fishing port and prepare the one that we have determined the quality with our own eyes.

Rice is contracted directly with farmers in Noto, and other ingredients are basically mainly featured, but we also purchase from Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Toyosu in search of the best ingredients.

When you confront the ingredients of the four seasons, your brain as a cook works and the best cooking method is derived. And we believe that we can deliver genuine deliciousness to our customers by hand-crafting all the ingredients we use, and we are devoting ourselves every day.

It is a top-notch restaurant that does not spare time and effort and accurately produces the moment when the dishes served in carefully selected dishes enter the customer’s mouth, and it is a long-established restaurant that spares no effort every day to make the customer smile.

I think it is the role of Kinjohro. Please do your best to enjoy it to your heart’s content.

Incorporate the feelings of the two into the traditional Kaga cuisine.

Kinjohro’s wedding dishes are basically kaiseki cuisine that inherits traditional Kaga cuisine. The sea of ​​Japan and Roku Hakusan, each of which is hand-salted, has a number of delicious dishes that look gorgeous and congratulations.

Among them, “Tai no karamushi”, which is made from two male and female sea breams, is a gem that has been handed down from ancient times as an indispensable bowl for the congratulatory seats in Kanazawa. By the time the magnificent sea bream decorates the table, the feast will reach its climax.

Have a good time in a spacious space.

Kinjohro’s wedding and reception hall will realize a custom-made wedding that fulfills the wishes of two people and their families while valuing the traditional wedding style.

We can prepare various venues according to the number of people, such as the old-fashioned Yukashiki Shinto ceremony, the Japanese-style public ceremony that is typical of Kanazawa, and the Japanese-style and Western-style receptions.

We will make a proposal with sufficient space for the table plan so that you can use each venue slowly. May it be an invitation to feel a warm heart for all our customers. Kinjohro will do his best.

After swearing eternal love at the old-fashioned Shinto shrine ceremony, I would like to make a sunny announcement at an old-fashioned feast. “Tancho no Ma” is the answer to those feelings of the two of you.

Set in a large hall of 110 tatami mats that can accommodate up to 100 people, the reception will be gracefully and brilliantly decorated with a thoughtful heart and traditional wedding dishes.

The creases are correct and sloppy. Simple without decorating. Even so, the reception of “Suehiro no Ma” is surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere. The 40 tatami mat room is just the right size for 30 to 35 people to comfortably surround the kaiseki meal.

The “Matsu no Ma” facing the courtyard is attractive because it overlooks the “Fujian” in the old building. You can spend the Shinto ceremony in the hall without worrying about the season and the weather. It can also be used for banquets with a small number of people.

Stay in Kinjohro.

Kanazawa is a traditional arts and crafts town. Kinjohro has a special atmosphere against the backdrop of the elegance of the shallow riverside, where the atmosphere of the ancient city is alive .

Large folding screen

Passing through the large entrance, a brilliantly lit golden folding screen spreads out in front of you, creating an overwhelmingly majestic presence.

Annex “Fujian”

“Fujian” is a memorable one for old-fashioned customers. At that time, with the demise of Emperor Taisho, Prince Hirohito became the 124th emperor (Emperor Showa). Kinjohro was built on the premises to commemorate the Great Enthronement.

In the paulownia room, the phoenix room , and the Suehiro room , the strangers of the present generation are favored, and the tradition and style of Kanazawa are preserved .

Former Maeda Tsushima Mamoru Garden

A Japanese garden that accentuates the quiet appearance. It has hardly changed its appearance since it was the Maeda family’s garden, and it has the same special taste as it was over 150 years ago. A quiet space spreads out everywhere, and the atmosphere of each season will wash your heart.

Fuji stone

One of the seven taiko stones that Hideyoshi Taiko loved long ago. Hideyoshi, who was also a world-renowned person in the cultural world, owned a number of inscriptions related to the tea ceremony. It is said that Fujiishi was transferred to the Maeda family because of a relationship with a famous family in Kansai.

Maki tree

It is over hundreds of years old and is the oldest old tree in Kinjohro. It has been a long time since it was the residence of the Maeda clan, and it has been beautifully arranged by the gardener’s skill. The unusual branching can be seen especially from the “paulownia room” and “pine room”.

Lion seal lantern

A bronze guardian dog co-produced by the 12th and 13th generations of the Kaga domain’s potter, Miyazaki Kanzo. The existing one in Kinjohro is an open-mouthed “A-un” lion statue, and a pair of closed-mouthed “A-un” guardian dog statues exist on the site of the former Maeda residence in Kamakura.

Saber hanging for officers under the division commander

During the special army exercises held in Ishikawa Prefecture from November 2, 1918, the Otsu Army Command was set up in Kanazawa Castle.

Even after that, there were many military customers until the outbreak of the Pacific War, and Kinjohro became a lodging place for expeditionary soldiers. At the time of the feast, the soldiers would have unequipped and relaxed a lot.

Zodiac cup

The traditional “Zodiac Cup” of Kinjohro, which started in 1954 to support Kutani ware writers after the war, continues to this day.

Every year, we give customers who come to Kadomatsu a unique sake cup, which was commissioned by Kutani Yaki Kiln Moto Kaburagi Shoten. You can see the successive cups in the showcase inside the building.

Zodiac lantern

It has existed before the founder Kyubei Tsuchiya got the mansion, and it is the largest and finest lantern of the Maeda family in Kinjohro. The lanterns engraved with the zodiac are rare and are considered to be very prestigious, and you can feel the glory of the Maeda clan.

Sakura lion

It is a ceramic lion head that sits between the red-crowned cranes and is enshrined as the guardian deity of Kinjohro.

Wood carving is a common lion head, but it is a gem of Ohi ware that was commissioned by the predecessor Ohi Choami after the renovation of the main building in 1958, and it is dignified in the prestigious hall.

Stage

A stage between Tancho that can be used for weddings, various meetings, and various events. The background is a dyed work by Eiji, a master of Kaga Yuzenn, depicting Fujian’s Akamatsu.

Like the Sakura Lion, it was made when the main building was renovated in 1958, and represents the attitude of Kinjohro as a “cultural bearer.”

Popular tourist destination 1 day course

After visiting Gokayama and Shirakawa-go, which are World Heritage Sites, this is a course to explore Hida Furukawa, which is famous for the old townscape where Nishikigoi swim in the irrigation water.

I dared to recommend Hida Furukawa, which is suitable for a walk, instead of Hida Takayama. There is no doubt that the unique tone of Kokirikobushi in Gokayama will be a good memory of your trip.
