14Recommended Dish - Gyutan (grilled beef tongue)
Grilled beef tongue is a specialty of Sendai. There are many restaurants in Sendai where you can try it.15Recommended Dish - Zunda Mochi
"Zunda mochi" is one of the representative local foods of Miyagi Prefecture. This rice cake is made by crushing edamame (soybeans) and mixing it with sweet bean paste seasoned with sugar and salt.16Recommended Dish - Seri hot pot
Seri is a traditional vegetable with a history dating back to the Edo period. Natori City in Miyagi Prefecture is one of the largest seri-growing areas in Japan. Boiled and tempura seri dishes are delicious, and we especially recommend Sendai’s winter specialty: seri nabe (seri hot pot). Eating the root of this leafy green is a rarity in Japan, but its texture and taste are exquisite. Try this local winter dish from September to March.17Sendai Station
