Hida Beef in Kanazawa/Toyama/Matsumoto

Hello all!

I will be visiting these places in May and wonder if it's possible to find Hida beef in that region?

If so, can you please let me know the names of restaurants? Actually I would have more days in Kanazawa than the other 2 cities.

Thank you very much!

I havent seen it outside of Takayama.

Hida beef is nowhere near as rich as a lot of other wagyu, as it has far less marbling. That means that it is great for beef sashimi and perfect grilled on skewers. It also means that you can eat plenty more of it. One of my daughters had about 5 serves of beef sashimi at Takayama, then went back later that day for more.

I've tried it in Takayama and hoping to get to eat this again in my upcoming trip!

Apologies to jump in on this, but chloebb (or anybody else), do you have any personal recommendations for Hida beef in Takayama? I'm looking forward to Sukiyaki specifically, but I'm not too sure if they cater to solo travellers.

I personally recommend Maruaki. I have eaten here twice and really enjoyed it!

I dont know about for sukyaki, but for gyudon, beef skewers, and beef sashimi there is a place across from the red bridge from memory which is awesome. It is all black inside with chalk drawings.

That might be Kyoya Restaurant...
