MK Guide Recommends

Hidden upstairs in a discreet Fifth-floor building, Hareya Bettei feels like stepping into a refined retreat that channels the seasons of Hokuriku. A live tank of snow crab offers a silent guarantee of freshness, while menus shift in concert with the tide and harvest—think flower-like crab sashimi, steamed abalone, mackerel pressed sushi, or Echizen oroshi soba. Each course is matched with rare Fukui sake—such as Black Dragon Nizaemon and Bon—sourced through in-house connections. The rooms, trimmed in handcrafted Kumiko screens by Fukui artisans, offer low-lit peace ideal for quiet celebrations, client dinners, or evening contemplation.
