About Legian
Legian sits on a narrow lane along the Sai River in the Katamachi district of Kanazawa, a city on Japan's western coast that has had no previous entry in this directory. The restaurant takes its name from Legian Beach in Bali, and reviewers describe the food itself, centered on dishes such as nasi goreng, as tasting authentically Indonesian rather than adapted for a Japanese audience. A Fodor's guide review calls the atmosphere casual and lively, noting it gets busier after dinner, and describes it as an unexpected find for a quiet riverside spot. A separate restaurant-booking listing for the same address covers it under both Southeast Asian and izakaya style dining, reflecting a drinks forward, late night format alongside the food menu.
The restaurant is reached by walking along the lane that runs beside the river, turning just before the Sai gawa Bridge near the Katamachi scramble crossing. Its address is 2-31-30 Katamachi, in the Sociable Rejac building. Reviewers single out the nasi goreng as a highlight, along with a selection of Indonesian beers and unusual ice cream flavors, including a purple yam version, for dessert. Pricing is described as inexpensive by Fodor's.
Legian does not serve lunch; it is a dinner and late night venue, with Fodor's describing it as open past midnight on weeknights and open as late as 3:30am on weekends. A second listing gives different, apparently misformatted hours for the same address, so the exact weekly schedule could not be confirmed consistently across sources and should be checked by phone before visiting.
Because of that late night, drinks oriented format, and its classification alongside izakaya style venues on at least one Japanese dining platform, this listing is flagged per the directory's content policy on bar style places. The restaurant is not classified strictly as a bar on the sources checked, but the hours and drinks emphasis place it closer to that end of the spectrum than most other listings in the directory's Japan coverage.
