Mr. Kamakura, head chef of Western-style cuisine at Hotel Metropolitan Sendai, went to France for culinary study and trained at several restaurants and auberges in Paris and the Basque Country. During his training, he encountered a variety of traditional confections, all of which are simple but charming confections made with ingredients refined by the climate of each region and filled with the love and passion of the local residents over a long period of time. They put their wish to create sweets filled with such regional love in Japan into "Kuru Tohoku".

Sendai's famous Zunda parfait!

We interviewed Mr. Tsuchiya, chef-patissier of Sendai International Hotel, about the "Pastry Chef's Special: Sendai Specialty Zunda Parfait.

When you think of Miyagi, you probably think of Zunda, but I wanted to give our out-of-prefecture guests who visit Miyagi a chance to try various combinations of Zunda, so I renewed the Zunda Parfait that has been a favorite at Sendai Kokusai Hotel for many years several years ago.
The parfait includes three kinds of Zunda: Zunda rice cake, Zunda cream, and Zunda gelato from Natu-lino, a gelato store in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture. The dessert is also served with vanilla ice cream, chocolate and green tea brownies, and other well-balanced ingredients, so you will never get tired of it and will enjoy it to the end. We hope you will try our patissier's special Sendai specialty Zunda Parfait.

Sendai Kokusai Hotel's signature parfait is made with the finest ingredients! Zunda has a Japanese image, but I was very surprised to find that it goes well with vanilla ice cream and brownies. You can feel Sendai through the parfait. Please try it!

The "Patissier's Special Sendai Specialty Zunda Parfait" is available at the Coffee House on the first floor of the Sendai Kokusai Hotel. In addition to the Zunda Parfait, other delicious parfaits are offered seasonally. Chef Patissier Tsuchiya wants to use seasonal ingredients from Miyagi Prefecture as much as possible, so he goes directly to the production areas and communicates with the producers to procure truly delicious and carefully selected ingredients. When there are no fruits available, they use matcha (powdered green tea), chocolate, etc. They are particular about the way the cross section is presented so that the customers can enjoy it with their eyes, and they consider the marriage of sweetness and acidity so that they can enjoy various textures.
Please enjoy a luxurious moment using the hotel's special ingredients.

After enjoying parfaits at Sendai Kokusai Hotel, how about delicious French or Chinese cuisine for dinner? A delicious breakfast awaits you the next morning! Please enjoy delicious food at the gourmet hotel "Sendai Kokusai Hotel".
