一心 (Itsshin) in Sendai

Mekajiki & seri hot pot🍴
Mekajiki (swordfish) has a soft texture and a plain flavor…

Seri (Japanese parsley) has a crunchy texture.

I could devour it because its clear soup had a light dashi (Japanese-style broth) flavor.  Yummy!

I went to the Itsshin to have Japanese dishes.

Beef tendon stew
Its soup was light, mild and subtly sour of vinegar.

The beef tendon melted in my mouth. Very good!

Mozuku seaweed with vinegar
Its pleasant acid flavor enhanced its umami (deliciousness) and the seaweed aroma.

Mixed organic vegetable ohitashi
The more you bite vegetables, the more flavors and sweetness from the leaves you can have.

The mixed ohitashi (boiled vegetables drizzling some seasonings over it) included komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach), yukina savoy, spinach, and bak choy.

Anago no shirayaki (lightly grilled, unseasoned conger eel)
The skin of anago (conger eel) had a crispy texture and had a pleasant charcoal aroma.

That made me feel good!

Anago’s meat was fluffy and its umami (rich taste) enhanced as I bit more.

Today’s soup
The soup is called tumire-jiru (minced fish soup) It was rich in tuna’s umami and had a light dashi flavor.

It helped heal my drunken upset stomach.

Nori-chazuke with takana pickles
Nori-chazuke is usually a bowl of rice with nori (dried seaweed) on top, served with hot green tea poured over the bowl.

At Itsshin, rice was simmered in simple dashi broth, served with salted takana pickles and dried seaweed on top.

It had a pleasant sea flavor.

Very satisfied!

Itsshin is a restaurant offering lightly-seasoned dishes with gentle flavors.

These dishes are good not only for your health but also for your mind!
