Full of the blessings of Miyagi, tradition and innovation coexist in Sendai

Sendai has prospered as a base in the Tohoku region and is a city with a long history. There are numerous tourist spots such as the Sendai Castle Ruins associated with Date Masamune and the Yododatate Site, a Jomon period archaeological site. However, the appeal of Sendai is not limited to traditional attractions, but also includes a unique food culture that permeates the lives of its citizens.

The birthplace of beef tongue, a treasure trove of exquisite gourmet food

When it comes to Sendai, the first thing that comes to mind is "beef tongue". Known as a town with outstanding meat culture even in the Tohoku region, the rich flavor of beef tongue grilled over charcoal is exceptional. From ramen to sweets, beef tongue is incorporated into various dishes, truly making it a treasure trove of food worthy of being called the capital of gourmet food.

"Zunda Mochi", loved across generations

Another specialty of Sendai that is no less outstanding than beef tongue is "Zunda Mochi". Made using traditional methods, this mochi wrapped in red bean paste has a moist texture and an elegant sweetness that is its secret to popularity. While long-established stores line up, there are also up-and-coming shops adding innovative touches, making the fusion of tradition and innovation charming.

Year-round events such as Tanabata Matsuri and Kanto Festival

Sendai has many iconic traditions preserved throughout the changing seasons. Speaking of summer traditions, there are Tanabata Matsuri and Kanto (pole lantern) Festival. The sight of colorful decorated bamboo grass and the lanterns lighting up the night sky is truly spectacular. Then in autumn, there is the lively Aoba Matsuri befitting of a university town. One of the pleasures is getting intoxicated by the lively and open atmosphere filled with crowds of people.

Sendai is a city full of charm where old-fashioned culture and new trends harmonize. Whether it's sightseeing with lots to see or its deeply enjoyable food culture, you're guaranteed to have new discoveries whenever you visit.

I stopped here for the first time in conjunction with a day trip hot spring bath in Ogano, which is nearby. It's about a 20 minute walk along the national highway from the day trip hot spring inn. The building has a taste and history that you can see in the photos on Google Maps. The shop is run by three people: the elderly husband, his wife, and the staff. I sat on the terrace outside the restaurant that I had seen beforehand, and first ordered a bottle of beer, fried gyoza, and grilled squid with butter. A sunny, inn courtyard? The terrace seats in front of the garden were perfect as it was a warm and windy day. The gyoza I ordered as an accompaniment to my beer was the kind of gyoza that you could hold in your hand to the max, and the toppings were delicious, and instead of soy sauce and vinegar, it was sesame sauce? It's delicious and goes well with the homemade gyoza sauce. Grilled squid with butter, which is also a set meal. The meat is thick and tender, and when you eat it with the burnt soy sauce and butter-like sauce, it's a dish that makes you want to scream out how delicious it is. I often eat grilled squid in Izu, but Ogano's grilled squid is as good as Izu's. Both squid and beer disappear in an instant. Finish off your ramen with gyoza, menma, and butter-grilled squid. I ordered the standard miso ramen with my companion. Ramen with a typical Dosanko arrangement, nostalgic for the Showa generation. The noodles were a little soft, but medium-thick noodles with a slightly curly texture and taste typical of Hokkaido ramen. Why does the soup use Chichibu miso? A soup with a salty taste. Terrace seating in the courtyard of a luxury inn? Enjoy miso ramen in a location that makes you think! It was the best.

Dosanko Ramen, which my late father used to take me to when I was a child, has become quite rare these days. Among these Dosanko restaurants, I think this is one that still retains the good old Showa atmosphere of the Hokkoku era. I would like to see this style, which has nothing to do with AI or DX, continue in the future. The taste of this nostalgic miso ramen will take you back to your childhood.

This is an old-fashioned ramen and set meal restaurant. I wonder if miso is recommended because it's so hot? ? At noon, the place was full and customers started coming in all at once, so I couldn't keep up with the food. As for the taste, the ramen has a decent taste. The set meal is a little strong in taste. There was a parking lot in front of the store.

We ordered basic miso ramen, deluxe ramen miso, and handmade gyoza. The noodles are thick. The basics are green onions, stir-fried bean sprouts/carrots, and corn. Contains black sesame seeds. Deluxe comes with more corn and chashu. It's full of volume. The thickly sliced char siu is delicious. The dumplings have a lot of garlic in them. There are also a variety of set meals and a la carte dishes. I recommend a shop that is loved by the locals. It feels like it.

Miso ramen gyoza set ¥1,100 + green onion ¥100 There is a large parking lot along the street, and the shop is crowded with tourists and locals. The miso ramen has a gentle taste that makes you feel at ease, and the generous amount of corn and seaweed gives it a somewhat nostalgic feel. The set of gyoza I ordered together was excellent, and the chewy skin surrounding the juicy ginger filling was irresistible. The best dipping sauce is the miso sauce. This is my first experience with gyoza sauce. This miso sauce combined with the strong ginger of the gyoza makes it very delicious. Of course, it goes perfectly with white rice, and it's so luxurious and satisfying to slurp up miso ramen with miso sauce gyoza. The shop is run by several older women, and everyone is in good spirits, which cheers us up. Tourists are served cola or oolong tea, which seems to be an effort to revitalize the local area and encourage them to return to Ogano. This kind of service is rare, so I was a little relieved. This is a restaurant I would like to visit again when I'm in the area, thank you very much.
