Founded in 1948, our restaurant takes pride in showcasing locally sourced ingredients, offering seasonal sashimi such as sea squirt (hoya), oysters, sea bass, and bonito from Sendai Port. Enjoy authentic kappo cuisine, crafted with the finest ingredients throughout the year.

Our journey began in 1927 (Showa 2) when my great-grandfather established Kappo Shouchiku in Ichibancho.
In 1948 (Showa 23), the second generation relocated it to Tatsumachi, where it remained for 54 years.
In 2002 (Heisei 14), I took over the restaurant, moved it to Omachi, and renamed it Shouchiku Zendokoro. With this transition, we introduced a relaxed dining style with chairs and tables, making kappo cuisine more accessible.

We emphasize local and seasonal ingredients, allowing each dish to highlight the flavors of the season.
Our single-floor dining space fosters a warm and intimate atmosphere, where we value close interaction with our guests.
In Japanese cuisine, presentation is part of the experience—we carefully select dishware to match the seasons, from glassware in summer to earthenware in winter.

We look forward to welcoming you.

We are dedicated to sharing the exceptional flavor of eel, expertly grilled over Kishu Binchotan charcoal on a traditional shichirin grill.

Our eel is carefully grilled using Kishu Binchotan charcoal, known for bringing out the deepest umami flavors.
By combining time-honored techniques with the highest level of craftsmanship, we have perfected the art of unagi preparation.
Bringing out the true essence of eel and sharing its rich flavor with our guests is our greatest joy.
We will continue to uphold the tradition of Unagi Senmonten Unaki, preserving and passing down its authentic taste for generations to come.

Founded in May 1914 (Taisho 3), our restaurant has been serving the finest seasonal flavors of Ishinomaki in a relaxing private dining atmosphere for over a century.

Ishinomaki is blessed with the rich fishing grounds of Kinkasan Offshore, lush mountains, and the flow of the Kitakami River into the Pacific Ocean.
As the nutrients from the forests enrich these waters, the ingredients harvested here shine with freshness.

For over 100 years, we have been supported by the blessings of this land and the warm patronage of our guests.
While we have faced challenges, including natural disasters that forced us to temporarily close, the unwavering support of our customers has brought us to where we are today.

We remain committed to preserving the authentic flavors passed down from our founder while creating a tranquil space where guests can enjoy the finest local ingredients prepared with care.
With continuous dedication to our craft, we strive to be a restaurant that serves and enriches our community for generations to come.

We sincerely look forward to welcoming you.

Founded in 1980 (Showa 55), we specialize in fresh seafood dishes, offering a wide variety of options, including sashimi, set meals, seafood bowls, and grilled dishes, allowing guests to enjoy the finest seasonal flavors.

Our restaurant’s name, Hamachou, combines the character “Choro” (from my grandfather Takeo’s name) with “Hama” (representing our origins in Ajishima).
Now in its second generation, we remain committed to using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, preserving the traditional essence of Hamachou.

Although our restaurant was completely destroyed in the 2011 earthquake, we relocated and reopened on July 2, 2012, starting anew with a fresh perspective.
Located near Ishinomaki Kanan IC, we now welcome more guests from Wakayanagi, Yamoto, Hirobuchi, and beyond.

During lunchtime, we offer beautifully crafted set meals, while in the evening, guests can enjoy a selection of à la carte dishes paired with sake.
To ensure a pleasant dining experience, we recommend calling ahead for reservations.

We look forward to serving you.

Founded in 1952 (Showa 27) as a riverside inn, our restaurant Tomofukumaru opened in 1984 (Showa 59), specializing in fresh seafood from the islands.
The name “Tomofukumaru” comes from a ferry that operated along the island route initiated by our founder in the early Taisho era, connecting Ishinomaki, Tashirojima, Ajishima, and Ayukawa.

Famous for our “Fresh Uni Bukkake-meshi”, we have long been a beloved spot for both locals and visitors to Ishinomaki.
Though our restaurant was swept away by the 2011 earthquake, we continued operations at a temporary location until finally returning to our original riverside site in April 2018.

With the scenic Kitakami riverside as our backdrop, we offer delicious seafood dishes beyond traditional Japanese cuisine.
We invite you to enjoy a unique and unforgettable dining experience with us.
