Therefore, in this article, we will introduce 5 shops where you can enjoy the exquisite sweets of Miyagi prefecture. There are some hidden gems that are not listed in guidebooks, so if you have a sweet tooth, please check them out.

Hikoichi, Ichibancho, Aoba-ku, Sendai City

Hikoichi is a sweets restaurant that has been loved by locals for a long time. We recommend the ``Shiratama Cream Anmitsu . Another good point is that you can choose one type of red bean paste from koshian, grained red bean paste, or zunda red bean paste, and one type of honey from black sugar syrup or white sugar syrup.

In addition, the store located at the end of a stone-paved back alley has an old-fashioned atmosphere, and although it is located in the center of Ichibancho 4-chome, it gives you the feeling of being in a different space.

The inside of the restaurant is made of warm wood, and it is also attractive that you can relax and enjoy the view of the courtyard. It's also a good place to stop by for a break when you're tired from shopping or sightseeing.

Sendai Dango Ichifuku, 3-chome Wakabayashi, Wakabayashi-ku, Sendai City

Ichifuku, whose main store is in Wakabayashi Ward, Sendai City, is a very popular dango shop that sells out by mid-morning every day. Although it is reasonably priced at around 100 yen per skewer, the generous amount of red bean paste and heavy weight of the dango make it appealing.

We are particular about handmade dango with a plump texture, using Sasanishiki from the prefecture and serving them freshly prepared each morning on skewers by hand. Since it is located a little far from the city center, we recommend visiting by car.

The fluffy ohagi comes in four types: crushed bean paste, strained bean paste, sesame, and soybean paste, so even people who don't like sweets can enjoy it.
