As my birthday was approaching while I was in Miyagi, I went to "Restaurant TSUJI"! This is a restaurant where you can enjoy French cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere, and the food and service are excellent. On this day, I enjoyed a course meal while asking for wine pairings. Each dish was served with a wine that perfectly matched it, further enhancing its flavor. Each dish was carefully prepared, and the dishes were a feast for the eyes and the tongue. Each dish was delicately seasoned to make the most of seasonal ingredients, and was incredibly delicious! This restaurant is recommended for those who want to enjoy authentic French cuisine in a casual setting. Be sure to visit to end your special trip. #0yentravelNovember #Miyagi

Before catching the flight back, I checked in at the store as soon as it opened. Surprisingly, there were already several groups of customers in the store. It was indeed very popular. We both ordered a Western set meal. The rice in the omelette rice was tomato-flavored, and the fried chicken on the side was also fried very crispy. The entire meal was about 1.5 times the amount I eat. As for the steak, since it is placed on an iron plate, the degree of doneness can be adjusted freely. As the meal progressed, more and more people came. I observed what everyone ordered and found that they were all hamburger patties! Next time I have a chance I must try his hamburger steak> < #Sendai #Sendai Food #JapanSendai #Food Exploration

Needless to say, this is a famous restaurant in Sapporo. As it's getting colder, I wanted to eat miso ramen, so I visited right after it opened. I was able to enter the restaurant without having to wait in line! Lucky! When I thought of miso ramen, I also wanted fried rice. I finished it in no time. I ate it again today~ And it warmed me up. Thank you for the meal! By the way, Akiko Muranaka, who founded the restaurant, opened a ramen restaurant in Nakanoshima, Sapporo, and the name of the restaurant was written as "Junren" but pronounced "Sumire". Currently, her eldest son runs "Junren" and her third son runs "Sumire". Why is there one in Sendai too? I don't know. Next time, I'd like to try a menu other than miso ramen. Address: 1F Nippo Proceed Uesugi, 2-9-21 Uesugi, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture Budget per person: 1,000-1,500 yen #Ramen #Fried rice #Miso ramen #Junren #Sumire #Sendai gourmet #Winter travel #Queue

While strolling around the city of Sendai, I saw flags and signs advertising "Sendai specialty 'Mabo Yakisoba'". Since I was a tourist, I couldn't help but try the local cuisine, so I tried the Mabo Yakisoba at Ton Ton Ramen. After placing my order, the Mabo Yakisoba (950 yen) arrived. When I flipped over the mountain of mapo tofu, I could see a glimpse of the yakisoba. It even came with soup! My impression of it was simple: yakisoba topped with mapo tofu, but the taste and doneness of the mapo tofu and yakisoba may vary from restaurant to restaurant! There was a list of participating stores of "Sendai Mabo Yakisoba" at the storefront, so why not try the local gourmet food when you're sightseeing in Sendai? 😊 Subway Tozai Line "Aoba Dori Ichibancho Station" 350m JR "Sendai Station" 1km "Tonton Ramen" 1F Kinfuji Building, 4-3-3 Ichibancho, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture 980-0811 #Sendai #SendaiGourmet #LocalGourmet #MaboYakisoba #MiyagiTourism #MiyagiTrip #SendaiTourism #SendaiTrip #MapoTofu #Yakisoba #DomesticTrip
