Hanton Rice

Golden-brown fried white fish sits atop a soft, fluffy thin omelet. With ketchup and tartar sauce drizzled over it, Hanton Rice is a Kanazawa-born dish that stimulates the appetite just by its appearance. The basic form consists of wrapping ketchup-seasoned butter rice in an egg and topping it with fried fish. It is believed to have originated around the mid-1960s, with various theories suggesting it was created by a head chef in a Kanazawa restaurant or originated as a staff meal at the Yamato Department Store. Some say the name comes from 'Han' (referring to Hungary) and 'Ton' (referring to tuna in French), but the truth remains a mystery. That very sense of mystery is part of why it is so beloved by the people of Kanazawa.
