Recommended night snack or meal in Katamachi area
According to Kikunoya Ryokan in Kanazawa, there is a unique place called "Yaho".
"Yaho" is not a name of anything, but people just call that Japanese light meal bar "Yaho".
That's because the master of that bar only speaks "Yaho".
“Yaho” itself doesn’t mean anything.
No matter what words you speak to him, he only says "Yaho".
“Yaho” is the only word people say there.
Incredible, right?
So if you are a foreigner and don't speak any Japanese just go there and say “Yaho”.
"Yaho" mainly serves "ochazuke" which is a simple but traditional Japanese dish made by pouring green tea, dashi, or hot water over cooked rice roughly.
"Yaho" opens around 10pm.
Here is the map of "Yaho".

Breakfast at Garden Hotel Kanazawa
It is sometimes nice to wake up little early and have a rich breakfast.
This time I went to Garden Hotel Kanazawa near the JR Kanazawa station.
It was a buffet style. You can choose either Western style or Japanese style breakfast. I chose both of them, of course!
It made me quite full, so I could skip a lunch that day, which was good for my diet.
I’ve heard this hotel bakes their original bread every morning.
Breakfast buffet is 1050 yen. You first have to buy a breakfast ticket at the hotel front desk.

TripAdvisor - monster bulletin board regarding Hotels and Ryokans
Last Friday, I went to the "Inbound seminar of Ishikawa" with some of the administration officers from Kanazawa Ryokan & Hotel Cooperative Association.
There I heard the speech of President Yamamoto at TripAdvisor which runs message board regarding Hotels and Ryokans.
Nothing new and interesting for me though, I understand that people use TripAdvisor`s service for their business.
Shall we use them as well?
I personally don't want to rely on such services.
