シェルまる (Shellmaru) in Sendai

The chef carefully grilled a fatty large sardine over the charcoal…Looking at the charcoal fire and smoke from the grilled fish helped increase my appetite.

Grilled fatty large sardine, caught in MiyagiA grilled fatty sardine was crispy outside and juicy inside. Awesome!

I ate it straight at the first bite, with grated radish at the second bite, and then sprinkling lemon juice over it at the third bite.

All of them were so delicious!

I went to the Shellmaru which has just opened at February 2. The exterior wall was decorated with a variety of shells.

Bonnetmouth sashimi (raw fish)If you tell the password written on the restaurant’s Facebook when ordering, you can have this rare fish.

Bonnetmouth had a fine amount of fat and umami.

Its soft texture melted into my mouth.

Bonnetmouth sashimi went perfectly well with wasabi (horseradish).

Bagna càuda with miso, produced in SendaiBagna càuda contained carrot, radish, paprika, tomato, eggplant, green pepper, and broad beans.

It was not only colorful but also healthy!

You can dip each ingredient into mild miso produced in Sendai or salt produced in Ishinomaki.

I enjoyed both dipping sauces!

Grilled fresh scallop, caught in Miyagi, with butter and soy sauce While its adductor muscle had a soft texture, its mantel had a chewy texture.

The longer you chew the scallop; the more umami you can taste!

The gentle flavor of butter and soy sauce was also fantastic!

Risotto-style fried rice cooked with scallop brothThe chef made it, using the remaining juice on the scallop shell.

Freshly cooked rice, absorbed a mixture of scallop’s juice, butter, and soy-sauce, was fluffy and very tasty.

Oden-style radish with chicken soboro and a starchy sauce on top (Appetizer)The radish was cooked in the savory broth.

It was served with a starchy sauce and chicken soboro (stirred ground chicken with some seasonings) on top.

This appetizer helped me warm.

I was very satisfied with beautiful and healthy dishes there!

Shellmaru is run by a cheerful female owner and a friendly skilled chef.

The restaurant offers a nice atmosphere.
