Kanazawa Hakomachi is a small shopping mall opposite Omicho Market (近江町市場, Omichō-shijō) with the concept of being a "Miniaturised Kanazawa" (金沢小町, Kanazawa Komachi) in a "box full of thoughts". The shop selection is designed around the keywords of beauty (美, bi), food (食, shoku), wellness (健康, kenkō), and omotenashi (お持て成し, Japanese spirit of hospitality). So rather than having a mall full of large chains, each shop with Kanazawa Hakomachi feels like an indie shop with interesting concepts that showcase local produce, local crafts, wagashi (和菓子, Traditional Japanese sweets), and more. While the mall itself is rather small, with the first floor being for retail, the second floor being for food, and the third being for wellness, it is still well worth a quick stop after visiting the nearby Omicho Market
Must Visits in Kanazawa Hakomachi
Coil is a modern take on the classic hosomaki (細巻き, Thin Sushi Roll) in a classy minimalist ambience. The restaurant aims to fuse together tradition and modernity, which can be seen from the shop's sleek modern interior, combined with the rather traditional menu it offers. Coil offers a unique do-it-yourself (DIY) experience where you pick a selection of fillings for your hosomaki, which you will then roll up the hosomaki yourself before eating it. Apart from the hosomaki, they also offer a DIY tea ceremony (茶道, Sadō, Japanese tea ceremony) experience, as well as monaka soups (もなかスープ, Monaka Sūpu) as a side.

Fukuro Project is an interesting shop selling condiments and seasoning in a beautiful minimalist setting. The shop's concept is to "Fill each bag (袋, fukuro) with deliciousness", and so the shop sells a wide variety of spices and condiments in bags. These include traditionally-made sea salt from the nearby Noto Peninsula (能登半島, Noto-hantō), all sorts of dashi (出汁) powder, herbs and more. There are also samples for the different condiments on sale. The shop aims to challenge the conventional wisdom of dining, and does this by researching new and innovative concepts such as their unique blend of curry salt, and other unique condiments you won't find anywhere else.
