Hitenryu
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.
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.
