Seri Soan

Right near Sendai Station, Sendai Seri Nabe & Private Room Washoku Seri Soan has a nostalgic, retro vibe. With fully private rooms, you can take your time and enjoy Miyagi’s local flavors without worrying about others.

A must-try winter specialty in Sendai is the Aigamo (duck) Sendai seri nabe. The juicy duck and the crisp texture of seri (Japanese parsley) are a perfect match. Known for its refreshing flavor and high nutritional value, seri has been loved by people in Sendai since the Edo period. The restaurant also serves dishes that use plenty of seri, such as the Fig & Sendai Seri Salad and Duck Seri Soba.

There’s also a great selection of local Tohoku sake, which pairs perfectly with Sendai favorites like grilled sasakama (bamboo-leaf fish cake) and thick-cut grilled beef tongue. It’s also recommended to enjoy fresh sashimi and the Kinkasaba Seared Shime Saba (lightly seared cured mackerel) with a glass of sake.

For the finale, try Miyagi Silver Salmon Harako Meshi, brightly topped with plenty of salmon roe and salmon, or the hearty house specialty Aburi “Unigiri” (seared beef with uni). The menu is sure to leave both your stomach and your heart fully satisfied.
