All Reviews of Kuroyuri

Kuroyuri is a famous oden restaurant in Kanazawa, and as an oden fan, of course I had to make a pilgrimage here. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere. I ordered my favorite basics, including daikon and tofu, and everything was thoroughly soaked in the broth and warm and comforting. They also have hanpen, which is relatively uncommon in Taiwan. It’s a white, fluffy, soft fish paste product that becomes light yet springy when cooked, making it something of a rare find in Taiwan.

Kuroyuri is a well-known, long-established oden restaurant in Kanazawa. The broth is lightly sweet and full of flavor, and the ingredients are simmered until they soak up all that delicious taste. It has a simple, homey feel. The warm atmosphere makes it a great place to try authentic Kanazawa cuisine, and it’s a popular spot recommended by many travelers.

The vibe inside feels very Showa-era. It’s not a big place, and when it’s crowded it can feel a bit tight, but that actually adds to the local izakaya feel.

Service isn’t especially warm, but they do what they need to do—nothing to complain about.

They specialize in oden. The broth is super clear but packed with flavor—not overly salty, just the kind that gets more addictive the more you eat.
The daikon was seriously soaked through. One bite and it just burst with broth—so satisfying on a cold day. 🍢 The vibe is a bit old-school, and it gets crowded with both tourists and locals. Expect to wait in line during peak hours.
It’s not cheap, but the portion sizes and taste make it worth it.
