Zunda Saryo Sendai Specialty Zunda Mochi
A light green paste gently envelops freshly pounded mochi. It is a traditional taste representing summer in Sendai. Zunda Mochi is one of the three great specialties of Sendai, alongside beef tongue and sasakamaboko. It is enjoyed by pouring plenty of 'zunda paste'—made by crushing boiled young edamame and adding sugar—over mochi. There are various theories regarding its name's origin, including an anecdote that Date Masamune crushed edamame with his battle sword. Zunda Saryo uses carefully selected edamame and 'Miyakogane-mochi,' a glutinous rice from Miyagi Prefecture. Because the production method is simple—just crushing boiled edamame and adding sugar—the quality of the ingredients directly reflects in the taste, making it an honest dish with no room for deception. Please enjoy the vibrant light green color, the aroma of the beans, and the texture of freshly pounded mochi.
