#Traditional market #Street food #Seafood cuisine #Strawberry 🍡Sendai Morning Market is only five minutes away from the west exit of Sendai Station. You can see it by walking along the main road Minamimachi-dori. Although it is called a morning market, it is actually open from 8 am to 5 pm. There are fresh seafood and fruits and vegetables, as well as many delicious snacks. Under the hawking of vendors, experience the local flavor carefully! 🍡The first stop is "Hanagasa Dango Honpo", where the famous glutinous rice produced in Miyagi Prefecture is handmade. The strings of Japanese dumplings have a variety of flavors such as edamame, sesame and red beans, as well as various rice balls. Of course, you can't miss the various delicious edamame products when you come to Sendai! The dumplings were chewy and not sticky. One skewer was not very satisfying for each person, so we ordered a second round immediately. 🍡There are many seafood stalls in the market, just pick one that you like and start ordering. There are all kinds of fresh fish, shrimp and shellfish. The boss kindly asks whether you want them raw or simply grilled (the shrimps are only about 50% cooked when grilled, which only adds some aroma from the shrimp shells being roasted over high heat). Overall, the sashimi combination and oysters are also quite fresh, and the price is really affordable. If you don’t have enough, you can order more. 🍡The fruit and vegetable stalls are also a must-see part of Sendai Morning Market. Of course, you have to enjoy strawberries when you come to Japan in winter~ There are so many kinds of apples in Tohoku, and I want to try every one of them~ 💰Per capita consumption: 500~2000 Yen

A recommended lunch that you definitely can't miss in Sendai is the Chinese food at "Matsuishi" 🤍 It is a very warm restaurant run by chef Matsuishi and his wife. The chef is from Yamagata, and you can enjoy dishes that use plenty of local ingredients from Yamagata and Miyagi ✨ And although the genre is Chinese, I think Matsuishi's cooking is characterized by gentle Chinese food that also has elements of Japanese cuisine ☺️ Lunch and dinner are only course meals, and Matsuishi's style is to start all at once. You can share the same time with other customers and enjoy exquisite food 😍 You'll be surprised by how delicious it is from the first dish! The location of the restaurant is easy to access from Sendai Station, and it is also recommended to combine it with the Sendai Castle ruins, one of the tourist spots 🏯 Be sure to check it out when you travel to Sendai! #gourmettrip #Sendai #Sendaitrip #SendaiGourmet

#2024TravelReview As a baseball fan, when you come to Sendai, the Rakuten Golden Eagle Baseball Stadium is definitely a must-see attraction! Even though it is not the season, it is still worth visiting to feel the passionate atmosphere of this stadium. The walk from Sendai Station to the stadium takes about 20 minutes and is very scenic, perfect for taking a stroll while enjoying Sendai's city atmosphere. On the way, you will pass by a shrine full of tranquility - Ryuoka Tenmangu Shrine. The environment here is maintained very clean, surrounded by trees and fresh air. It is a good place to relax. A short stay here will not only allow you to experience the unique charm of Japanese shrines, but also allow your body and mind to regain peace. If you have the opportunity to visit this area, be sure to stop by Liugang Tenmangu Shrine and enjoy a spiritual journey.
