If you are used to China's food, you will always feel a little unaccustomed to eating other countries' food, but you will definitely have to eat on the trip. Let me introduce you to the food experience in Japan first. You can refer to it.
at the end of December, 216, I was invited by AllAboutJapan to be the ambassador of northeast Japan, traveling and interviewing many scenic spots in Miyagi prefecture.
whether it's a bustling city like Sendai or a quiet town like Ishinomaki, there are beautiful scenery and delicious food, and my journey will not be lonely at all.
First, I came to Ishinomaki, a small city in Miyagi Prefecture.
As soon as you arrive at Ishiguro Electric Station, you can feel the infinite vitality and colorful colors of the city.
With the assistance of Shotaro, a cartoonist from Miyagi Prefecture, Ishinomoto City Government planned and implemented the theme street planning named "Basic Concept of Ishinomoto Cartoon Kingdom".
In this planning, the most representative streets are the traffic corridors known as "Comic Avenue", which connect Ishinomaki Station and "Stone Forest _ Painting _".
As soon as you get out of the station, you can see the prototype statue of the characters in the comic book "Artificial Man 9" painted by Shi Zhisen Shotaro.
On the "Comic Avenue", there are many statues of various comic protagonists, totaling more than 2.
Just for the old feelings of old comics, you should probably look for a chance to visit Ishinomaki, a small town in the northeast.
Leaving Ishinomaki, we came to Matsushima, one of the three scenic spots in Japan.
On the calm Songdao Bay, one island after another floats, and black pine and red pine stand upright on the gray-white rocks.
Because these two kinds of pine trees are densely covered on the island, they are named Songdao.
Among all the small islands in Matsushima, the surrounding magnificent scenery of Fangu, Toyama, Dayingsen and Duowenshan are called the Four Views of Matsushima. Standing on the long Fupu Bridge (also known as the Bridge of Meeting), there are many perspectives to capture Matsushima's rich expressions in the natural state.
overlooking the beautiful scenery of Songdao, a smell in front of me brought me back to my senses.
when you look intently, you find that it is the smell of grilled fish cake.
when you enter the store, you can buy the finished products that have been baked directly. In addition, you can also choose to do it yourself and keep warm while baking.
Store information:
Songdaopu _ Puwu Lobby Store
Transportation:
It takes 1 minutes to leave from "Songdao Coast Station" on JR Xianshi Line
Business hours:
December to April, 9: to 16:
May to November.
Since its inception, it has been committed to providing the most delicious direct-produced fish cakes in Songdo for both locals and tourists.
It is Do not forget your initiative mind that has been adhering to such a pioneering purpose. Matsushima Fish Cake Shop has not only opened many stores in Matsushima, but also has its own sales outlets at Sendai Station and Sendai Airport. That is to say, you can buy the freshest Matsushima Fish Cake in the most crowded areas in Northeast China.
you can not only experience the grilled fish cake on the spot in the shops mentioned above, but also take it home as a specialty of Songdao and give it to your relatives and friends.
Lunch is relatively simple, and tempura rice covered with vegetables in season is affordable and delicious.
The soup pot made of local oysters is steaming hot.
after eating and drinking, I planned to take a boat trip around the island, but just arrived at the dock, only to find that the last boat had already left.
I stood on the dock and looked at the distant ship, filled with regret and loss.
at this moment, the ship's staff ran over and asked me if I wanted to take a boat, and said that there was another boat here that could take us around!
So I was grateful and got on the last lucky boat, and the plan of traveling around the island began.
The magnificent scenery along the sea and sky is called Matsushima, one of the three scenic spots in Japan.
As the ship roared past, the port gradually disappeared from our sight.
The setting sun used its dazzling light to cut through the still gloomy sky after the rain, and gold was sprinkled on my body. I couldn't help but be shocked by the warmth and color.
The running time of Songdao sightseeing boat:
9:-16: (9:-15: in winter). Basically, there is a tour boat leaving the harbor every hour, taking tourists to enjoy the scenery around the island.
Ticket price:
15 yen for adults and 75 yen for children.
The specific ticket purchasing method and the choice of sightseeing boats can be further confirmed in official website (http://www.matsushima.or.jp/route/index.html).
after the tour around the island, we returned to Sendai.
Because the time is just between Christmas and New Year's Day, the festive atmosphere is relatively strong, and the commercial street is covered with neon lights.
In fact, this is a scenic poem activity held almost every winter on Dingchan Temple Avenue in Sendai. It has a history of about 3 years since 1986.
Whether for local residents in Sendai or tourists like us who come to visit Sendai, the activity of scenery poetry is the most anticipated winter gathering every winter.
216 is no exception. This year's Sendai Winter Scenery Poetry Activity "216SENDAI
Festival of Light" was held from December 9 to December 31 with the theme "Connecting the Future of love light! 」。
There are still four days before the activity is over, so I am lucky to catch up with the activity.
On that day, the trees on both sides of Dingchan Temple Avenue were lit up by lighting, and the beautiful Sendai block was particularly colorful under their illumination.
Finally, I got the authentic Sendai beef tongue that I've been waiting for for for a long time!
The roast beef tongue in Sendai started at the end of the Pacific War, and it has been nearly 7 years since Japan moved to the revived Showa for 23 years.
As a representative dish of Sendai cuisine, the price of roasted beef tongue is even a little more expensive than the general barbecue.
that's because most beef tongue specialty stores often only use the softest part of the whole beef tongue in order to roast the most delicious beef tongue, while the two hard parts at the front end and back end of the beef tongue are often not directly selected as the raw materials for roasting beef tongue.
The picture shows the beef tongue set meal of our store in front of Sendai Station of Zenjiro Roasted Beef Tongue House.
From left to right, there are yam paste, rice and onion-flavored beef soup.
tip of the famous store of roast beef tongue in Sendai:
① Is it delicious? Xisuke:
Founded in Showa for 5 years, it has been reported by the media many times, and it has the reputation of No.1 in the industry in the ranking of Sendai Niutongue Store.
After entering official website, you can also buy the exclusive pickled beef tongue directly in the online shopping mall, but what you get is limited to Japan.
② what's the best choice? Lijiu:
It is also an old shop of beef tongue specialty store in Sendai, and it is not only in Sendai, but also has corresponding branches all over Japan.
The two Sendai beef tongue stores recommended above have shops in Sendai Station, which is very convenient to find.
the average price of the set meal is around 1,5 yen, which is worth the money.
At this point, this delicious food tour in Northeast China is coming to an end soon. I only regret that the time is too short to visit all the delicious and interesting places in Northeast China. I hope I can meet a better Northeast when I come back next time.
