Go straight through the "Meitetsu M'za" Exit of Omicho, turn right at Tadamura Fisheries, and you'll find the seafood bowl restaurant "Tsuruya." This is a restaurant that perfectly satisfies the desire to "come to Kanazawa and eat seafood bowls!" Since opening two years ago, it has been bustling with customers, and the reason for this is, above all, the variety of seafood bowls they offer. In addition to the luxurious "Special Seafood" from the Hokuriku region, which is topped with plenty of rosy seabass, tuna, white shrimp, salmon roe, octopus, sea bream, sweet shrimp, squid, salmon, crab claws, and steamed shrimp, and the great-value "Omakase Market Bowl," they also have bowls where you can enjoy your favorite ingredients to your heart's content, such as "rosy seabass bowl," "salmon roe bowl," and "cold yellowtail bowl."

Turuya's motto is "We want to make your stay in Kanazawa a memorable one." They offer a wide variety of sub-menus so that you can enjoy the flavors of Kanazawa through food. Of particular note is the Kanazawa specialty "Kanazawa oden," made with a strong bonito stock flavor, and the popular ingredients are the flavorful daikon radish and the "kuruma-fu"(wheel-shaped gluten cake) that is characteristic of Kanazawa oden. The local sake, a gift of water, rice, and abundant nature, also has a wide selection of the prefecture's leading brands, such as Tengumai, Banzoraku, Kikuhime, Fukumasamune, Takeba, and Noto Homare. Pairing it with delicacies from the Hokuriku region is recommended, such as "Noto rock mozuku" and "pickled Toyama firefly squid."

Wherever you go, there will always be a line for seafood bowls, but to keep the wait to a minimum, the restaurant has a capacity of 80 seats to welcome customers. They sometimes offer special deals that you won't know about unless you go to the restaurant that day, such as limited quantities and discounts on regular menu items. If you're visiting Omicho while sightseeing in Kanazawa, be sure to check it out!
