What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Zunda Saryo is celebrated for its unique zunda shakes and mochi, offering a taste of Sendai's local specialty. While many enjoy the sweet edamame flavor, some find the shakes to be excessively sweet. The convenience of its station location is a plus, though queues can form during peak times.
"My friends suggested we try the shake here during our visit to Sendai station. There was no queue and we made our orders pretty quickly and got our shakes soon also. They have separate seating areas as well. The shake was really delicious and I'm looking forward to trying it again."

"When you first arrive in Sendai station, the first thing u must try is their zunda shake and zunda mochi. This shop is everything about zunda. Its more like vanilla ice cream milk shake with edamame flavours. More vanilla milk flavour than edamame. Its quite sweet too. I tried both Zunda Saryo and their competitor next door. I prefer the next door one as its less sweet in comparison. I would have prefer the shake to have more zunda flavours. Good to try once or twice when you are in Sendai."

"Sendai's specialty edamame milkshake has a light edamame flavor, but the milk taste is stronger. Takeaway has 8% VAT, and dine-in has 10% VAT, but you need to wait for a seat if dining in."
