[Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture] Introducing the recommended Senbero bar on the Senseki Line from the east exit of Sendai Station to Ishinomaki!

The development of the east exit of Sendai Station has progressed since the professional baseball team Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles made the Miyagi Stadium in Miyaginohara their home stadium, and the development has further accelerated since the station's east-west passageway was renovated.

Since 2020, commercial buildings have been built one after another, and pedestrian decks have been installed like the one at the west exit, and the number of people has increased rapidly, as if the loneliness of the Showa era was never there.

As if in response to this trend, the number of restaurants of various styles has increased from the east exit to Miyaginohara via Katsuraoka, and the unique ``Senbero Sakaba'' has also appeared.

Here we will introduce Senbero Sakaba, located in Sendai city along the Senseki Line starting from Sendai Station, and in Ishinomaki, the last stop.

What is the definition of “senbero”?

The word originally referred to a bar where you could get very drunk for 1,000 yen, but now it has come to mean a bar where you can get 2 to 3 drinks and snacks for 1,000 yen.

In this article, we have defined the criteria for certification as a "Senbero" bar as follows.

  • You can order two glasses of alcohol (type and quantity are free) and one snack in addition to the appetizer and drink it for less than 1,000 yen.
  • Set prices such as "Senbero Set" are available for less than 1,000 yen.
  • Family restaurants where you can eat rice crackers are not eligible.

We also introduce sets that cost less than 1,500 yen as "high-priced rice crackers," but we appreciate your understanding.

Please note that prices in the article include tax unless otherwise stated and are as of the end of September 2023.

Sakurai Shoten

a liquor store where you can enjoy ``Ekimae Kakuuchi'', located next to the Yodobashi Sendai 2nd Building outside the east exit of Sendai Station .

It's always crowded with regulars, and when there's a game at Rakuten Mobile Park, Eagles fans walking down Eagle Road (Miyagino Street) stop by, and many tourists using Sendai Station also visit to enjoy Senbero.

With a system where you purchase a meal ticket inside the store, draft beer (medium mug) starts at 380 yen, and Japanese sake starts at 330 yen.Only at a liquor store, there is a wide variety of recommended local sake from Miyagi and from all over the country to choose from. I'm confused.

In addition to the canned snacks you'll find in Kakuuchi, you'll also find Sendai's famous Sasakama (130 yen), Kesennuma Horumon (380 yen), Oden, and Yakisoba , all of which are reasonably priced.

Mori no Curry Shop Ajiru

This curry restaurant, located on Higashi-Nanban-cho , which is a short walk from the east exit of Sendai Station in the direction of Nakake-cho, is a somewhat unusual ``Senbero Sakaba'' that also doubles as an izakaya at night.

Even though it is a curry restaurant, there is a drink set (1,000 yen) on the menu, which comes with a draft beer or shochu and 5 small dishes such as cold tofu and dashimaki egg.

There are also plenty of other snacks available , so it seems that many office workers just grab a bite to eat before heading home instead of eating curry.

summary

Perhaps due to the recent Senbero boom in the Tokyo metropolitan area, the number of Senbero bars has increased in Sendai City.

Especially around Sendai Station, which is used by many office workers commuting, there are many pubs where you can casually drop by, and many Senbero shops are opening not only in Kokubuncho and in front of the West Exit Station, but also at the East Exit, where development is progressing.

Additionally, along the Senseki Line from Sendai to Ishinomaki, in addition to the Ishinomaki restaurants introduced here, there are other unique restaurants that are conscious of "Senbero", so I would like to introduce them again sometime. think.
