Yes, that's the one smile.gif

The one I tried was in Higashi Chaya area of Kanazawa.

Hokuriku area is beautiful, very beautiful. I would consider going back there again.

Higashi Chaya is a money sucking place, especially those souvenirs that is made out of real gold... brows.gif

oh, food I have alot tips.....

[attachmentid=5273879]
Soeur Cafe, Takayama
Soeur has awesome baked goods, as well as really tasty coffee and herbal teas. The back wall of the cafe is one massive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the Miyagawa River. Add in the lazy jazz background music, and it’s a perfect place to spend a rainy afternoon or take a break from sightseeing.

[attachmentid=5273891]
Pumpkin pudding is a must try in Takayama. You can buy this at Le Midi

Hida Beef also a must try in Takayama. Try at Heianraku or  Bistro Kanzo
*
i tried the Le Midi pudding during my recent trip. didnt quite like it, maybe im not used to its rough texture. there is one stall at the Miyagawa Morning Market selling pudding too, that one is yums....

Hida Beef can try at Maruaki too...
IMHO, the Hida beef I tried is better than Matsusaka Beef Yakiniku M in Osaka, and its cheaper too. sweat.gif

talking about Mt Fuji, during our visit, we did got a clear view of it during our train ride to Kawaguchi-ko, but shortly after that, the heavy mist built up and we cant see it later in the day and even the second day... cry.gif

fortunately, the next few days in Nikko, we spotted it at Hangetsusan and that's around 300 km away from Mt Fuji... rclxms.gif
