Ganso Murasaki
Founded in 1944, the original kiritanpo (rice dumpling) hot pot specialist in Odate. The golden broth from Hinai chicken bones paired with freshly made kiritanpo is exceptional. Warm hospitality from the third-generation owner keeps customers coming back. A beloved local gem for authentic Akita cuisine at accessible prices.
Locals consistently say 'this is the real kiritanpo.' Tabelog score 3.73 with 378 reviews, TripAdvisor 4.4/20 reviews (3rd in Odate). Many praise the exceptional Hinai chicken broth. Regular customers visit multiple times a year. Considered a must-visit destination in Odate.
