金沢は、日本海の豊かな漁場に近く、魚や蟹や貝など、様々な新鮮な海の幸に恵まれています。また、江戸時代には北前船の寄港地としても栄え、全国からさまざまな食材や文化が集まり、美食で知られています。その金沢の台所と言われるのが、近江町市場です。
Kanazawa is located near the rich fishing grounds of the Sea of Japan, giving it access to a wide variety of fresh seafood, including fish, crab, and shellfish. During the Edo period, the city also prospered as a port of call for the Kitamaebune trading ships, which brought ingredients and culinary traditions from around Japan. As a result, Kanazawa has become well known for its outstanding food culture.
The city’s culinary heart is Omicho Market, often called “Kanazawa’s Kitchen.”
海鮮丼が有名で、甘エビが本当に甘くて驚きました。旅の最初から、金沢の贅沢な味覚を楽しむことができました。
One of the market’s most popular dishes is the seafood rice bowl (kaisendon). I was especially surprised by how incredibly sweet the sweet shrimp tasted. From the very beginning of my trip, I was able to enjoy one of Kanazawa’s greatest culinary delights.
金沢駅から近江町市場へは、徒歩１５分程度。近江町市場の食事処は、昼には行列ができますが、朝10時に到着したので並ばず食べることができました。
次は、忍者寺（妙立寺)へ向かいます。
Omicho Market is about a 15-minute walk from Kanazawa Station. The restaurants in the market often have long lines around lunchtime, but since I arrived at 10:00 a.m., I was able to enjoy my meal without waiting.
Next, I headed to Myoryuji Temple (the Ninja Temple).
