The food is more on the hearty, no-frills side—not the delicate, refined type. Plating is pretty basic, but the focus is definitely on flavor.
Service speed is decent. During peak hours it gets crowded, so you may have to wait a bit.
The vibe inside is lively, great for coming with friends, but it’s not really the place for a quiet chat.

Hitenryu
A yakiniku restaurant where you can enjoy its original style of cold noodles along with Noto beef and rare cuts of pork.
Located in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, Hitenryu is a yakiniku restaurant run by three brothers who carry on the founder’s vision of establishing a true yakiniku culture in the city. The restaurant is well regarded by locals for its selection of rare cuts of Noto beef and Noto pork.
A house specialty is the Kanazawa Cold Noodles, made with a rich yet mellow broth simmered for 10 hours from Noto beef knuckle bones, beef sinew, and local vegetables. Among the signature yakiniku dishes is the Carefully Selected Four-Cut Platter, featuring premium parts of Noto beef such as top rib, shoulder belly, inner thigh, and cubed steak. On weekdays, the lunch menu offers seven options, including Noto Beef Simmered Soboro Rice and Noto Beef Yakiniku Set. All lunch sets come with rice, soup, salad, and three small side dishes. The restaurant also offers yakiniku bento boxes made with its special marinade and Ishikawa-grown Koshihikari rice, designed to bring out the natural flavor of the meat.
Seating is arranged in traditional floored tatami-style rooms, making the restaurant easy to enjoy for families and groups. Whether dining in or ordering takeout, guests can savor the appeal of Noto beef and pork in a relaxed setting.
