FOOD: Japan’s tastiest seafood, straight from the source.

Just two and a half hours by bullet train from Tokyo, the Hokuriku region of Japan hugs the chilly waters of Honshu’s north-eastern coast, where cool temperatures and fast tides harbour Japan’s tastiest fish.

Tempting seafood fans away from the city, these three restaurants are amongst a crop of businesses putting Hokuriku on the map as Japan’s freshest culinary destination.
