Selling a variety of delicious croquettes, this small shop offers a gold-flake-dusted savoury alternative to the ever-popular ice cream Kanazawa is known for.

You can choose from a variety of standard and seasonal flavours, with some creative options on offer for the adventurous. The croquettes cost around ¥300 yen and are cooked to order, so you’ll be sure to get a fresh and piping hot snack, even if it does mean the queue is a little slow.
