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

A popular Kanazawa oden restaurant that is enjoyed all year round, regardless of the season.

Piping hot oden is eaten all over Japan, from Okinawa to Hokkaido, and is generally a staple winter dish. However, in Kanazawa, oden is commonplace even in the summer, and long-established oden specialty shops that are open all year round are dotted around the city. Furthermore, thanks to recent media coverage and the influence of social media, every oden restaurant now has a steady stream of customers all year round. Kuroyuri is conveniently located inside Kanazawa Station, and is so popular that all the seats fill up as soon as it opens at 11am. There is an extremely wide variety of oden ingredients, with around 30 varieties on offer at all times, including vegetables such as taro and butterbur, steamed fish paste and burdock tempura, and seafood such as clams and fish balls, so that you will never tire of eating them.

Most of the ingredients are locally produced, and red rolls, wheel-shaped gluten, clams, Gensuke daikon radish, and ganmo are standard ingredients for Kanazawa oden. The soup is made from dashi stock such as dried sardines and kelp, combined with local soy sauce, and has a refreshing richness that is light enough to drink down, further enhancing the flavor of the ingredients. Another attraction that attracts local customers is the wide variety of a la carte dishes. Recommended dishes include seafood sashimi and Hakusan hard tofu sashimi, as well as duck jibuni and loach kabayaki. They also have hot sake, beer, and local sake from Kanazawa and the foot of Mt. Hakusan, so it's also a good idea to have a drink with oden while waiting for a train.
