All Reviews of Zunda Saryo: Sendai Station Zunda Komichi Shop

Every time I come to Sendai, I can't resist stopping by Zunda Saryo! The first time I tried the zunda shake, I was impressed by its delicate, mellow bean aroma. It has just the right amount of sweetness, and the smooth texture still has tiny bits of edamame in it. I like it more with every sip. Zunda paste is one of Sendai's signature local foods, and the shop has incorporated this traditional edamame treat into a modern drink that has become a popular favorite. Besides the must-try zunda shake, there are also sweets such as zunda mochi and zunda butter cake. Each offers its own appealing combination of rich bean flavor and different textures. For me, this shake has long been a regular part of every trip to Sendai. Whenever I taste that familiar flavor, I feel the happiness of being back in Sendai.

When you come to Sendai, you absolutely can't miss one of the area's most iconic specialties—a zunda shake. There happened to be a Zunda Saryo right inside the station, so I immediately got one to go and gave it a try.

Honestly, before drinking it, I was a little worried that the grassy flavor of the edamame might be too noticeable, but my impression completely changed after the first sip. The rich, smooth shake had a subtle sweetness from the edamame and a delicate, slightly grainy texture. It was surprisingly refreshing and easy to drink, with just the right amount of sweetness. This unique and delightful flavor is truly something you can only find in Sendai, Tohoku, and it's definitely a local drink you have to try for yourself when visiting. Even after returning to Taiwan, I still miss this distinctive flavor sometimes.
