Otomesushi (乙女寿司) located in Katamachi area is one of the fancy sushi restaurant in Kanazawa. So, we reserved in advance and went to there at dinner time. All popular sushi restaurants in Kanazawa is hard to reserve. So, reservation is essential.

They have dinner course having tsumami (small dishes) and sushi only, so after we were seated, the lady asked to us about our drinks only. So, I ordered Japanese sake. The chef said to us “Is there any food that you prefer not to eat?” We said “No.”

Well, I expected that the course have blackthroat seaperch, gasu shrimp and whelk because those are Kanazawa’s specialty seafood.

At first, Flat fish (Hirame) was served.

And Botan shrimp (Botan-ebi) having its eggs. It had sticky texture and tasty.

Grilled globefish’s soft roe. It was baked lightly. So, its outside was lightly crisp and inside was creamy.

Grilled nodoguro with salt (blackthroat seaperch).So fatty. There were much fats between its skin and meat.

Then, sushi time has started. First sushi was Amaebi (Sweet shrimp).
As its name, it was so sweet and had springy texture. Delicious.

We asked the chef about another sushi. The chef recommended some and we ordered one of it from his recommendation. We thought we should eat Gasu shrimp all the same 🙂
We can’t eat it at Kanto region like Tokyo. It was not bad. But sweet shrimp was far better.

      I think so, too. I was lucky :p
      Winter is the best season to visit Kanazawa for eating local seafood though it is too cold !

    Hello.. i am planning to try otome for my upcoming birthday. I tried looking for reservations but the prices from third party reservations are a bit high in my opinion. Can you please tell me how to get reservation? Thank you

    • Ryoko says:

      Hello. They accept reservation only on phone.
      But I think they can’t take reservation in English.
