Seasonal Cuisine & Oden Kuroyuri ［季節料理 おでん 黒百合］

Kanazawa oden is eaten year-round, regardless of season.

Hot oden is eaten throughout Japan, from Okinawa to Hokkaido, and is usually a winter dish. In Kanazawa, however, oden is also eaten in the summer, and there are many long-established oden specialty restaurants scattered throughout the city that are open year-round. Oden is deeply rooted and loved by the locals. Furthermore, thanks to recent media coverage and the influence of SNS, there are now long lines in front of every oden shop all year round.

Kuroyuri is conveniently located inside Kanazawa Station. It is so popular that the seats fill up as soon as it opens at 11:00. There is an extremely wide variety of oden ingredients, with about 30 types available, including vegetables such as taro and butterbur, steamed and burdock tempura paste, and seafood such as clams and fish balls, so you will never get tired of eating them.

The ingredients are mainly locally produced, and the standard Kanazawa oden ingredients include steamed oden, red rolled oden, wheel-shaped gluten, clams, Gensuke daikon radish, and ganmo(deep-fried tofu mixed with thinly sliced vegetables). The oden soup is made with dashi stock from dried sardines and kelp, combined with local soy sauce, and has a refreshing richness. It is light enough to drink down, bringing out the flavor of the ingredients even more.

Another point that attracts locals is the wide variety of a la carte dishes. As it is used as an izakaya with hot sake and beer, the seafood sashimi, Hakusan hard tofu sashimi, duck jibuni, and loach kabayaki are recommended. Local sake from Kanazawa and the foot of Mt. Hakusan is also available, so it would be nice to have a drink and oden while waiting for the train.
