Zunda is edamame mashed with sugar, a summer sweet of the Sendai domain served over mochi.
Checked · Visited in person · times from official timetables and operators · Takumi Yamada
Mochi under sweet mashed green soybeans, and fish cake shaped like a bamboo leaf and grilled. Both are sold on the station’s third floor, next to the gyutan.
- 2 hr 30 min door to door needs a 4.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
- No single published ride covers this one. Budget for a taxi both ways, or fold it into a guided day.
Two places, two different answers
| Place | What you get |
|---|---|
| The famous oneZunda Saryo, Sendai Stationずんだ茶寮 仙台駅ずんだ小径店 | The zunda shake is the reason. Shop 9:00–21:00, café to 18:00. |
| Where locals goAbe Kamaboko, main shop阿部蒲鉾店 本店 | Claims to have named sasa-kamaboko. Shop opens about 10:00; ask at the counter whether grill-your-own is running. |
Each name opens in Google Maps. Opening days change; check before you build a day around one.
Where the 2 hr 30 min goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside.
If your ship is late, cut the 1 hr 30 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Routes that already include it
Finished days timed from the official timetables, with this stop in them.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
