Eating & Exploring Kanazawa for the First Time! | 4K Japan travel food vlog

[Music] Good morning everyone! Today we are at Kanazawa. 
We just dropped off our luggage at the hotel and now we’re going to walk around and check out 
a food market to grab some food! Let’s go! [Music] Oh what is that? Happy face croquette They’re making it fresh in front of you. So we’re at Omicho Food Market and it has 
tons of seafood, groceries, and meats. The croquette look really yummy! 
I found pumpkin croquette which   I haven’t had yet so I was like I 
want to try that. I love pumpkin. It’s round. Very interesting. 
They’re usually flat. Wow it is stuffed! Oh this one’s really yummy! Oh my goodness That’s crazy. They seasoned it inside.. Mmm! I think I like this 
better than the potato one. Wow it’s so flavorful. I haven’t actually seen the 
pumpkin one anywhere else. A little sweet too! Oh so tasty. Mmm! It’s so yummy! I feel like 
it was better than the potato one. Oh wow. Yeah Just think of a potato croquette but then 
the inside is stuffed with pumpkin instead. There’s cheese inside! What!
Is there? The white part. Oh damn. Is that what it was? That’s so yummy! Maybe that’s what was making it super tasty! 
Yeah maybe the cheese melted into the pumpkin. On the side streets of Omitro Market, there’s 
actually an area where there’s a bunch of seating with umbrellas. So that’s perfect If 
you get something to eat. You can go there and   chill and relax. Enjoy your meal. There’s 
also a restroom nearby if you need to go. Next is this meat croquette. Meat 
croquette! I love how it just says meat. It doesn’t have like 
what kind of meat. It’s so soft. That’s really good. I think this is the best croquette place 
we’ve had. We’ve had a lot of croquette on our trip. Oh my god I think this is the 
best one. Like it’s actually tastes really meaty! The last meat croquettes we’ve had 
have didn’t have that much meat. Okay The   meat croquette we had at what Family 
Mart? You couldn’t even tell taste the meat. It was like beef croquette or 
something but you couldn’t taste the   beef. This is like filled! There’s a lot of 
pieces of ground meat. Tastes really meaty. Delicious! This looked yummy and I wanted to 
try it.. I think it’s a crab tempura stick. Oh the tour guides are coming. Oh our bag flew! What! It’s imitation crab but it 
still tastes really good. Tastes   better than the small ones. This is like 
a really big piece of imitation crab. I’ve never seen imitation crab that big actually.
That tempura I could get like three four of those and probably eat them at the 
same time. It’s really good. Nice We’re in this little booth thing. You have to 
take your shoes off and you come in and sit. I think this is like the traditional style 
setting right? i think so. And here they teach you how to make a wet towels. So they give 
these compact ones and you pour a little water.. Wow did you see it? It’s growing! What 
in the world? And then you can unfold it! Oh hey that’s pretty cool! That’s the first time I saw this being 
implemented in a restaurant. Right? I0  know they sell these at Daiso I was like 
wondering when you would ever use it.. I guess this was good way. Okay so the 
reason why we chose to eat at this   restaurant is actually because we wanted to 
try this traditional local food of Kanazawa called Kamojibuni. We’re looking for local 
traditional dishes and that popped up so we’re going to give that a try! Yeah I’m so 
excited cause we love duck! We love duck. Recommendations. Mentaiko udon. 
Yo. There’s the sukiyaki. It’s duck sukiyaki. Where where? Duck sukiyaki? 
Maybe that one? I’ll get the other one. Yeah we’re ready. Are we interested in this dessert too? Maybe.  Matcha daifuku ice cream. Look how massive 
this sign is. It’s like telling you to order it. It’s sukiyaki udon with duck. Okay 
sure. What are you getting? I’m getting that. Oh that’s the duck! Wow that smells 
so good. Some more veggies. Some kind of fried rice maybe. And then 
some sauce for your noodles. Wow it smells really good! Look at those 
duck breasts. Piece of duck. Looks so juicy. It’s a braised piece of duck meat and 
It absorbed all the flavors from the   vegetables and the broth. Pretty good. I 
like my pieces of duck a little thicker but I think this is the way they cook 
it. They put wasabi in their broth too.. I like it. You can taste the flavors from 
the mushroom in the duck. It’s like infused. Big noodle puddle. Dip the noodles first. 
Oh is that the official way of eating it? Mhm! Really tasty and refreshing! 
I specifically ordered cold noodles because it’s really hot outside 
Looks like there’s maybe tofu,   mushroom in here. I’m not sure what 
that is. Might be some kind of seafood. Tastes really good. I like it Feels like 
a very homey meal. Like a home-cooked   meal. Like it doesn’t feel heavy. 
Feels like you could eat it all the time because it feels healthy. Can’t 
believe there’s wasabi there. Yeah. Am I supposed to eat it with the wasabi 
like this? Oh wasabi and duck? Yo do it. I like it. Yeah. it actually tastes really 
good like that. Maybe that’s the way to eat it. My turn to start on my sukiyaki udon with duck 
breast. And they have a little onsen egg here that I’m going to break apart right 
now. I’m give that a try first. Mmm Wow These udon noodles are actually 
a little on the thinner side. Nice nice nice nice nice nice. Thin udon noodles. Let’s go! That’s really fresh. Really chewy. Really soft..   I’m going to chow down now! This is 
delicious. All done. We devoured this. Wo wo wo Fancy! Super stuffed. That 
was really delicious. I like that the flavors are more like on the mild side in 
comparison to everything we’ve been eating. So definitely more of like a homecooked 
meal kind of vibe rather than going out but I really appreciated that because 
all the meals we’ve been having has been   really heavy… so this is just like 
a light meal that we’ll stomach more easily. Very delicious. Very traditional. If 
you’re in Kanazawa area definitely try it out! Oo this is a nice small cute garden. 
We are enjoying a stroll in a Japanese garden. It’s Japanese just because it’s in Japan.   All the gardens are technically 
Japanese gardens. And we out! We are at Kazue-Machi Chaya District. This is 
an olden Edo area street near the river. Very aesthetic. I think the lowest traffic city I’ve 
seen out of everywhere we’ve been so far. There’s not that many people honestly. On the website 
actually said this is like a more quiet Kyoto. These streets are so awesome! Wow! They’re so tiny. We’re actually trying to go find the 
ice cream store that has the gold on top. I think that is their specialty 
here. Oh shiny! Oh my goodness! Let’s go! Let’s do it! Let’s eat this 
ice cream! The gold ice cream. So no eating and walking. Oh he’s already done! He’s going to put the gold flake on there. Wow! Wow oh my god!? Wow! Dude that looks too bougie to even eat. 
What?! Dude that thing is insane! Oh it’s so pretty! But I wonder if 
it tastes like anything. Okay,   it’s my first time eating gold. Let’s 
see if it tastes like anything.. Does that have any taste? Tastes like I’m bougie. 
You have gold on your lips. Do I? Yeah gold on your lips. I wasn’t expecting golden lips. That’s 
so interesting. I don’t think there should be a taste. It doesn’t taste like anything. It’s really 
thin gold. Just like paper. Yeah paper thing. It’s even thinner than paper. It just melts away. The 
ice cream’s really good though. It’s really milky! The ice cream’s really good. You don’t really 
taste the gold but it’s really cold to eat. Go like… so it sticks to you. Now I know when people eat like those 
steaks that are wrapped in gold and   stuff and pay a ton for it… They’re just 
flexing their money. It doesn’t taste like anything. Yeah gold doesn’t taste 
like anything! It looks cool though. Can our body even process this? i   have no idea. There’s gonna be gold 
flakes when I go into the washroom. How’s the cone? Pretty good. This place is so bougie. Everything’s 
just like covered in gold.   Gold flakes everything. They even have gold 
flake chopsticks. Golden golf ball. What? [Music] We go. Cockroaches? What is happening? Explain. 
Bugs in the water.. I don’t know. Bugs in the water? It’s literally showing you that the 
bugs lay the egg and then the egg rolls   into the water and then they hatch in the water 
and they come back out and the cycle continues. Huge park. So we’re outside the castle walls 
right now That is actually one of   the entrance but in order to get 
to it you actually have to cross a bridge on the other side.. which we 
are going to go next! There are layers. If you know you know. Oh admission! We’re now in Kenrokuen garden,   one of the three perfect gardens in Japan 
which means it’s designed to be beautiful all year round. Every season is supposed to 
be spectacular. Let’s go check it out! Fish! So we were walking and there was this post 
in the middle of the sidewalk and I looked   up and it was to support the tree cause it’s 
leaning forward too much. What in the world? It’s just chilling here. Why is it doing that? Why are the wings like that? I don’t know. It’s like it’s praying or something. So 
weird. Oh my god. That was the first time we saw a crane do that. Yeah I don’t know 
what it was doing. The wings were in a   weird strange position. Like it was like 
praying or doing some kind of ritual or something. Really funny. It looked like 
it was flexing its wings or something. So Devi is super sleepy so she’s going 
to get a drink. What do you want? That? So this is a statue of Prince 
Yamato. A lot of people here   are actually taking a look at this. 
Looks really cool. It’s really big. You having fun? I’m so sleepy! A 
lot of the trees here are being supported by like these logs. So 
without the workers here all these   branches would just die. Look at 
all the supports it has around it. Very interesting I love the way they designed 
this place. Our first feature. Yeah it’s pretty cool. So you walk 
up these bamboo looking stairs. They have a little area there. Maybe it was 
worth the walk. I have to get up here. That’s nice and peaceful. This is what everyone’s looking at. Very nice and very peaceful. Some water for the birds. Stairs to go back down. 
Devi chilling. It’s shaded and breezy up here. They’re all over the tree. There’s 
definitely plums at the plum grove. Beautiful pond. Yeah I imagine this would 
look really pretty in the autumn cause all   the trees would have like all different colors 
and they would show in the water. That’s for sure. Right now it’s all green. Fish Fish! Oh my 
god! These guys are so big! Look I’m feeding them. Somehow you’re getting all the fishes 
just by waving a hand. We found the exit. We are here all by ourselves entering 
the castle but only the free portion. Look at these gates! Oh wow! That’s so 
cool. Oh my god. That’s really The grass here is like really well maintained. It’s 
like all an even length. Super green and there’s no brown patches. Oh my god. 
Are those ravens? Yeah, those are big. Look at this grass. Look at 
it It’s beautiful isn’t it. 501. The only one. Let’s go! 
Oh wow This is really spacious! A lot more room than our last hotel. Coming in. There’s a big table dude! Wow We can   eat so much food here. Literally 
we’re staying here for one day. You put like your trouser in there. How to   use trouser press. What’s a 
trouser press? I don’t know. It’s a cat kneading bread. He’s making his bread. Oh he’s 
making his bread. Nice nice nice. The streets are so cute. Very beautiful.  Let’s go. We left our hotel and we are 
going to get dinner. We’re going to try some conveyor sushi. This place apparently 
is pretty good according to our friends. There’s a lot of bugs here. Very pretty here. Wow. [Music] Change it to English. Touch screen to order! 
Wow look at all this stuff. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness I’m so excited! What are we 
going to do? Let’s go to seasonal menu. There’s so much. How are you going to decide? Hokkaido black beef gunkan. Nice. Is it going to come now? Oh it already 
comes right away! Oh wow fatty tuna! Order. Well we got the salmon so we 
got to get the tuna too. Yeah,   we’re eating good. Dude everything here is so 
cheap compared to the other places we’ve been to. Other conveyors. These are definitely the 
best price. Like 150! That’s insane. 150 for two pieces! Oh they’re not letting us order 
anymore. We have too much stuff in the queue. Oh what that’s so cool! Oh my god! 
This is the minced special fatty tuna gunkan.
Some wasabi. Beautiful. This is the Hokkaido 
black beef gunkan. And they have so many different soy sauces! I 
want I want Ponzu soy sauce. That   sounds yummy. Dp you want this one on 
yours too? Sure, I’m willing to try. That’s pretty good. That’s really good. Wow. Hokkaido black beef. That’s beefy alright! Oh that’s so good! You 
can taste like the black pepper and the beef. Wow check this out!
Wow. That was um grilled eel with um teriyaki sauce   150 yen for two.. I can’t 
believe how cheap this place is! This is Tuna Mountain. Sushi cheer! I was expecting the quality of 
the sushi to not be that good   cause it’s so cheap so I was expecting 
to be like maybe Kura quality but this is like really good. Now I’m just 
going to say this is my favorite. My favorite conveyor sushi so far. 
This next one. Look at that salmon! Oh my god. All the salmon’s falling 
off! I can’t even eat it. Cheers. Those salmon eggs burst your mouth. This place is   pretty pretty worth it! I love those 
salmon eggs. They add so much flavor! Mackerel. Check that out Wow! That’s fatty! It’s 
like marinated and looks really good.. That’s a heavy hit of ginger. Really 
smooth. Really delicious. Really fresh. I was expecting it to be a tougher texture 
but it was actually really soft and chewy. We got flamed smoked duck. Flame smoked 
duck! That looks fire. Then we got squid rare steak. And then we have this.. I 
think that’s the fatty yellow! Oh my god! And this is the roast beef with garlic 
sauce and radish I believe. This all   looks so delicious! What’s this last one? I 
think that’s grilled beef with spicy leek. Wow that one looks really good. Okay let’s 
get the show on the road! Check that out! Oh no mine fell apart. Is that roast beef? This is the smoked duck. We definitely ordering another one! 
Wow That’s so yummy! What is this? That’s squid. It’s charred. 
This is the fatty yellow. Nice. I’ve never had a bad dish yet. Yeah! Not a single one of these 
has been a disappointment yet. Like every single one of them 
has just been a mouthgasm. Yeah,   very delicious! Check this one! This is the 
proscuitto with onion. Very interesting. Cheers! I don’t like that one. That’s the only 
one I don’t like. I thought it still   tastes good. Very different. Check 
out this monster! Spicy leek beef. Cheers! The chili chili oil is so good! It has 
like some garlic and a bit of a crunch but just topped with the leak. Oh my god it 
just makes everything better. I can imagine   like every single nigiri with this would be 
delicious. Yeah I wish they had that on the side or something. The last one that came 
in has some chili but this one is squid. There’s some bounce in that squid. So we got these three tuna and it’s 
lean albaore and soy marinated. Wow. hen we got this heaping flame 
fatty salmon. That looks so freaking good! Oh my god. Next up is 
the squid tempura with garlic mayo. And then there were some other 
cooked items that looked good. This is the egg custard with spicy and caviar 
and cheese… Oh my god that looks super soft. This is the pork bone broth ramen with flame 
garlic. Yo the black garlic! That looks so fire! That actually looks really really good! Like 
the egg looks like it’s cooked well. That chashu looks so fatty! Yeah the chashu looks like it’s 
cooked pretty well too. Tons of garlic in here. Garlic and black garlic. The broth looks super 
rich! I can’t wait. This first tuna is minced. Very interesting. Cheers! I usually don’t like mint tuna sushi but 
that was really delicious! Yeah it was really creamy. I think albacore tuna is the one 
you usually see in North America. That’s the one we eat back home but way cheaper here. Yeah. Wow 
check that one! Oh my goodness. Cheers. Cheers. That piece was my favorite out of the three/ 
That was three pieces for 150 yen! Pretty good!   50 yen for a piece of sushi… This is the 
squid tempura with garlic mayo. Wow Cheers! That’s so delicious. It’s like crispy tempura 
inside. The squid is so chewy. The sauce just compliments it so good. Yeah I think I 
like that one better than the regular squid!   The squid tempura.. It was like extra soft/ I 
think from being fried. Yeah I definitely see that. Look how fatty the salmon is! Oh my god, 
This whole thing is just like soaked in salmon   fat. Oh my goodness. Can you even eat this? 
I’m going to try my best! Big bite Big bite! Want me to finish it? mhm Oh my god that’s so good! All the salmon fat just melted into the 
rice! Tastes so fatty and good! So rich. It’s jiggly. Jiggle jiggle jiggle jiggle!
Oh wow It’s so soft! First bite!   Mmmmm You like it? It’s like pudding but just with 
egg! So it’s an egg custard and then the code roe. It’s like spicy salty! Adds a lot of flavor to it. 
Wow. That’s so soft though. It like just melts in your mouth. Kind of like a steamed egg or similar? 
I think it’s silkier. They made it silkier somehow. It’s like super silky. Oh wow. Oh there’s 
mochi at the bottom! Oh yeah Yeah that’s mochi! Okay I got to try the mochi. That 
looks amazing! You got to chew well. That’s really good. The mochi 
is so chewy! I’ve never had   it like this. This is really tasty actually. Wow This is a lot! This is actually a pretty 
big portion. I was expecting it to be a smaller.
First bite! That’s actually really good! I really like 
the broth! It’s so garlicky. Like they were not skimping out on the black garlic. The 
picture didn’t look like this. Like this   is more garlicky than I expected. Mhm Right? 
I love garlic so this is like heaven for me. Literally tastes better than some of the 
ramen we’ve had back at home from like an   actual restaurant! The broth is super rich. 
I don’t know if the garlic flakes kicking in like it’s super garlicy! This is like next level 
black garlic ramen. From a sushi conveyor? What?! This is crazy. That’s our three 
piece salmon set. Heaping flame salmon cheese. Salmon with spicy 
shredded leek. Check that syrup! Ooh. This is the fatty. That’s really delicious. So fatty. Every time 
I bite. The salmon fat mixes in with the rice. I think this is the lean salmon. Still really good. There’s ginger on the side. Chili oil chili pepper on salmon. Let’s go! Can’t go wrong with that chili oil.  That chili is actually so delicious. 
If they sold it in jars I would buy it! Check that! Check that out. Look at the amount 
of cheese on this and the seared salmon. Wow! So messy! Super cheesy! What the heck! i really like the salmon but I don’t 
know how I feel about the cheese. It   kind of tastes like those those honey 
butter cheese. The ones that are like slightly sweet. It does. Right? We don’t eat 
cheese with salmon that often.. Unless it’s the cream cheese salmon roll. We got some 
edamame to help with digestion hopefully. It’s cold. It’s salted. It’s a good 
snack! It’s refreshing. Very delicious. That smells so good. This is fried chicken cartilage. 
Sounded really yummy so we decided to try one last thing before 
we go. Ooh crispy! Cheers. Wow It’s kind of like a chicken karaage but 
inside it’s a little bit more crispy. Yeah, a little bit more crispy and 
a little bit more crunchy. So it’s this battered cartilage.
Really good! That’s delicious. You put some kind of 
seasoning in it and it made everything so much more tasty. Fish… I 
have no idea. It’s magic power! What is that? what is that?
It’s the total! That’s the damage. And the total is 4620 for all 
of this! Here. Let’s see. Wow. That was Hama Sushi in Kanazawa Nakamura shopping. 
It’s a train so there’s locations everywhere but they’re usually far out from the center so you 
have to make a bit of a way to get there. But   I think it’s worth it! It was really delicious. 
Well worth it! The restaurant is now completely packed and there’s actually like a ton of 
people outside waiting for seating. Like   we’re so lucky. We just managed to miss the 
crowd because when we walked in it was like empty. That’s crazy. I didn’t know it was 
that popular. That was so delicious though.   Definitely my favorite conveyor sushi because 
of the value that you’re getting from it. Best bang for your buck and it’s delicious honestly! 
Yeah cause at the other conveyor sushi I felt   like I still had to watch the price for stuff 
because sometimes things would add up really quickly but then for this one like everything 
was basically 200 yen or like less. So it just felt like I could order as much as I want and I 
didn’t really have to worry about the price at   all. That’s the good thing.. Like at the more 
expensive places you actually kind of want to hold back. You’re like uh it’s pretty pricey. Like 
do I want to eat that much? Yeah right for sure. over to that side. The sunset Wow! I think in 
the city we don’t get to see the skyline that much cause there’s so many tall buildings. 
I didn’t even realize until now.. I’m like   “Wait a minute. We haven’t really seen the 
sunset and stuff like that or the sky much.” That’s a lot of sense in that There’s just 
so many high rises.. Here’s a lot flatter so I actually get to see the sky I was like 
“Wait a minute This is very beautiful.” Wow Oh my goodness. So pretty. It’s like glowing behind us! Oh my goodness 
The sunset is gorgeous. So right now we are heading to the Samurai District. All 
the homes are closed but the area is still open So we’re going to go check 
it out before it becomes pitch black. If you go before 5:00 p.m some of the 
houses actually let you go inside and check them out. It’s like supposed to be these 
old traditional style samurai homes. We missed it unfortunately cause we were too tired but 
the district around is still really nice. We’re heading down just cause it’s so 
beautiful. Actually when you’re down the river bank you don’t really see the river 
as much as a whole but still pretty nice. The vibes here is just so nice. It feels really 
peaceful Everything feels like a lot slower in comparisons to the city. Like people are 
just out walking enjoying enjoying life nature environment. In the city It feels like 
everybody is like rushing to go somewhere or getting drunk. Oh yeah Hustle Hustle and bustling. 
Maybe it’s just the area that we’re in right now. Yeah I’m very happy we got to explore Kanazawa. Oh my goodness the vibe here is insane! 
Especially right now because it’s the evening and the lights are just starting to light 
up. Sun is setting So the vibes here is so nice! We are almost done it too. It’s really small 
actually. Dude I we got bit like probably so many times trying to get some photos. 
Yeah, definitely a couple bug bites. But this area is so pretty and I feel 
like the photos and videos just doesn’t   do it justice. Like it just doesn’t look 
as good on the camera. In real life it’s like really pretty. Oh my god that’s a 
bummer. It’s kind of the mistake on our   end though cause I think we were supposed 
to come prior to complete sunset… Yeah, the golden hour. We were eating during golden 
hour. We were spent way too much time at the sushi restaurant. Oops. Way too much. But still a 
very nice area. Very pretty. Tomorrow we’re going to Takayama and that’s supposed to be just as 
beautiful too! Yeah I’m excited for there! We won’t miss that golden hour then!

Yeah, of course.
