Sendai Morning Market｜A Local's Everyday Market

If you're looking for a place to have breakfast in Sendai, you can visit the market where locals shop for fresh ingredients. From fresh seafood and seasonal fruits to freshly fried croquettes, this market has it all. I arrived a bit late, so I only tried two places. If you can wake up early, I recommend visiting around 8 AM and then heading to a nearby café afterward.

🐟 Kogane Seafood
For fresh seafood, this is the place to go. You can choose your seafood and have it cooked on the spot. Items like oysters can be opened and eaten immediately—they're plump and flavorful with a strong taste of the sea. Miyagi Prefecture's tuna sashimi has evenly distributed fat and a delicate texture. The sweet shrimp was decent but not particularly impressive, though everything was fresh. I also ordered grilled scallops, which were satisfying when paired with soy sauce and shichimi powder available at the table.

✨ Saito Delicatessen Korokke-ya
This specialty fried food shop is extremely popular. As you pass by, you'll catch the enticing aroma that makes it hard to resist buying one to eat on the spot. There's seating nearby for you to enjoy your food. The prices are reasonable, and there are plenty of options. I highly recommend the ham and cheese croquette!
