A beloved old-school ramen counter near Kanazawa's central wholesale market, Kamejirō opened in 1999 as a second shop of the long-established Kikkoan (founded 1970), carrying on the same homespun kitchen aesthetic. The compact 12-seat counter has a worn, neighborhood-diner warmth — think handwritten signage, a no-frills layout, and a queue of market workers and loyal regulars from the moment the shutters go up at 8 AM. The kitchen is known for its two pillars: a clear, gently seasoned soy-based ramen built on chicken and seafood stock, and a signature curry ramen whose mild, spiced broth doubles as a base for finishing rice into a curry porridge. No card payments, no reservations — cash, walk in, and eat early.
