TILE

TILE is a seafood rice bowl restaurant in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, set inside a 110-year-old machiya townhouse that has been carefully renovated. Since opening in 2021, it has attracted strong interest from both locals and visitors, offering a refined, modern Japanese atmosphere.

The signature dish is the Kanazawa Yakumi Kaisendon. Guests can freely choose from around 30 ingredients-including Hokuriku seafood, kombu, and meats-and enjoy them over red sushi rice. The set comes with an assortment of nukazuke pickles, monaka soup, and dessert. One of the restaurant’s distinctive touches is its use of young greens and microgreens grown on its own farm as condiments. Vegetarian-friendly options such as the Kanazawa Yakumi Shojin Don and Kanazawa Yakumi Premium Shojin Don, which contain no meat or fish, are also available. Additional options include extra toppings and rice, an ochazuke set with bonito flakes and dashi, monaka soup, and dessert.

The interior is designed around calm, earthy tones. The tatami seating area features glass partitions, with neatly arranged square box trays creating a serene, orderly feel. It’s a space where solo diners can enjoy a quiet, contemplative meal.
