Tohoku Sanriku Umaimon Market " is being held at Sushiro from February 9. The fair features seafood and local gourmet food from Sanriku. From a total of 15 items in the lineup, I tried five of my favorites at the restaurant!

Tohoku Sanriku Umaimon Market

I tried three of the Sanriku seafood items: "Authentic Shark's Fin Rice Ball," "Extra Large Jumbo Scallop," and "Super Fine Sashimi Mackerel," and two of the local gourmet items: "Abalone Kaisen Zukuri Platter (Sea Urchin and Salmon Roe)" and "Harako Rice-Style Seaweed Wrapped Rice. These are introduced below.

Authentic Shark's Fin Rice Ball

Sushi with shark's fin from Kesennuma. The price is 330 yen (tax included, same as below). Price is 330 yen (tax included).


Sushiro's original seasoned shark's fin is wrapped in a slightly Chinese-style thick sauce. It tastes great with sushi rice! The shark's fin is large, and you can fully enjoy its lumpy texture.

Extra-large jumbo scallop

Sushi with extra-large scallops from Onagawa, Miyagi Prefecture. The price is 330 yen. Price is 330 yen and will end when sold out.


The extra-large size of this dish will fill your mouth with melt-in-your-mouth goodness! It is a luxurious dish with a rich, full-bodied sweetness.

Top-quality sashimi mackerel

Produced in Ishinomaki, Miyagi Prefecture. Price: 165 yen. Ends when sold out.


This is a dish that calls itself "superb" because of its melt-in-your-mouth fat and powerful umami. The balance with the refreshing vinegar is perfect!

Abalone Seafood Platter (sea urchin and salmon roe)

Matsumae zuke with abalone and scallops, topped with sea urchin and salmon roe. The price is 330 yen, and it is not available for To go.


Mellow, crunchy, and petite. A variety of textures burst in your mouth. The flavor of the seaweed that wraps it adds to the luxurious taste.

Harako-meshi style seaweed wrapped

A combination of salmon, salmon roe, and tobiko, inspired by Miyagi's local dish, harako-meshi. The price is 165 yen. Not available for To go. The event will end as soon as they are sold out.


The contrast between the melt-in-your-mouth salmon and the petite texture of salmon roe and tobiko is vivid. The crispy nori seaweed is also a nice accent.


By using some of the seafood from Sanriku in Tohoku, the Tohoku Sanriku Umaimon Market helps to support the recovery of the Tohoku region. The lineup includes "salted musiko rice ball," "mako octopus," "shark cutlet rice ball," "kama-age tatami shirasu," "hoya gunkan," "sea bream ramen (salt) with sea bream soup stock," "miso soup with sea bream and scallion," and "apple pie with apples.
