Aquarium
Nature & Parks
Reopened in 2014, the Kamo Aquarium in Tsuruoka has transformed into a cutting-edge attraction, featuring an impressive display of jellyfish. Boasting the largest collection of jellyfish in the world with over 50 different species, it has earned recognition from the Guinness World Records. The Jellyfish Dream Theater showcases these elegant creatures in colorfully lit tanks, offering visitors a mesmerizing experience. Additionally, guests can enjoy seal shows and interact with starfish at the touch pool.
Did not expect much but this place is full of surprises. Disregard the initial fish tanks
This is home to 88 of all 120 jellyfish species in the word and the prix de resistance is the bioluminescence jelly fishes the subject of which won Japan a Nobel prize in chemistry with the GFP protein research .

It is an interesting aquarium but when we visited it, it was quite busy.
If you like jelly fish, you would love this place, as they have good educational display as well, showing the jellyfish at different stages of life.
I found the admission fee of ¥1,500 to be slightly on the steep side considering the size of the place.
This aquarium is really beautiful, and I enjoyed the many kinds of jellyfish I could look at. The only downside was that a lot of people were taking videos and would stand for a long time in front of the aquariums. I guess I’m too old to appreciate that!
We went to the restaurant and had an amazing delicious and very reasonably priced lunch. If you are a seafood lover, I know it’s funny to eat seafood at an aquarium, but still, it was amazing!
A cruise ship stop in Sakata gave us the chance to visit the Kamo Aquarium. The jellyfish room where they hold concerts is otherworldly and unique, but my favorite was the tank of baby salmon. Ive attached those photos first. Nice T-shirts in the gift shop, good ice cream and a cold drink machine with my favorite Mets Lemon Squash. A perfect day.
It is an aquarium, but has an extensive jellyfish exhibit. We were able to see dozens of different species of jellyfish. There were glowing jellyfish, and the display of jellyfish in a huge tank was breathtaking.
The jellyfish are incredible! So amazing to see so many different types in one place
Coming from a country with much stricter animal rights rules and regulations, going to this aquarium was extremely upsetting. The tanks were hugely overcrowded with little to no natural vegetation. There is no natural terrain in the jellyfish tanks whatsoever, whilst aesthetically pleasing this cannot be in the animals best interest. Worst of all was the seals. There were six or seven of them in one tiny swimming pool, going round and round in laps. There were two seals in isolation in the smallest pools imaginable, one was swimming in tight circles desperate for stimulation whilst the other was barking in distress. I have attached photos of their horrendous conditions. I left with my heart in my throat, deeply upset to have given this organisation my money.
The main attraction here is the jellyfish collection and lecture. I wasn't expecting much at first, but I was simply fascinated by the collection. They also have a restaurant where you can eat jellyfish and puffer fish if you're up for it.
My only complaint is that the seals should have a much bigger space to live in than they have.

Points of Interest & Landmarks
Shonai Shrine is a Shinto sanctuary located on the grounds of a historic castle site in Japan. It was built after the dismantling of the original castle and now enshrines four feudal lords of the Shonai domain, known as the Sakai clan lords. The shrine maintains a strong connection to its former rulers, with historical items such as armor and dolls from the Sakai family displayed in its treasure hall.
This shrine is located in the center of Tsuruoka. It is small, but has many visitors and is worshipped by many people. Various flowers are painted on the ceiling of the main hall, so it is worth paying attention to this when praying.

Nothing bad. It’s a nice small shrine with a long history. This was part of Tsuruoka castle. That’s probably why there’s a treasure room where you can see Samurai’s equipments. The armor, Katana, bows and arrows are worth a look.
Serene place where you can pray and participate in many festivals. Their bunny fortune of the year is cute. I couldn't help but buy one. They also have other activities aside from religious one such as yoga, matcha ad wagashi tasting, making hinagashi, hina dolls exhibitions, etc, which you can check on their social media. The priest and shrine maidens are friendly to everyone, including foreigners. They have a small water basin that they fill with flowers of many type, and they change it accordingly. It's my favorite part of the shrine.
Shonai jinja was also located near Tsuruoka park so went for a visit too🙏
Ok
Beautiful!
(Translated by Google) The weather was lovely, so I took a walk to Shonai Shrine.
The temizuya (purification fountain) was beautifully decorated with flowers.
It felt great to receive a goshuin (stamp) of a seasonal flower. You can also receive goshuin (stamps) from Gokoku Shrine and Inari Shrine, both located within the park.

(Translated by Google) This shrine is located within the moat of Tsurugaoka Castle. It enshrines the three former lords of the Shonai domain: Sakai Tadatsugu, the second lord, Sakai Ietsugu (2nd lord), and the third lord, Sakai Tadakatsu. The ninth lord, Sakai Tadanori, who was the founder of the domain's revival during the Taisho era, was later also enshrined here.
Selected as one of Japan's 100 best cherry blossom viewing spots, the shrine is located within Tsuruoka Park and is a famous spot where 700 cherry trees bloom in full glory in mid-April. In August, the Shonai Grand Festival is held, and you can also see a procession of feudal lords.

Chido Museum, designed by the acclaimed architect Shigeru Ban, seamlessly blends historical Western and Japanese buildings with local cultural artifacts. The museum showcases a collection of cultural items from the Sakai family, folklore materials, and historic structures from the Shonai region. Notable highlights include a garden residence favored by the feudal lord and a home dating back to the Edo Period. Additionally, visitors can marvel at an impressive assortment of iwai-bandori, straw backpacks used for celebratory occasions.
very enlightening learning about the history of the place.
the blue old police post?? UNBELIEVABLE!!
the view of Tsuruoka?? UNMATCHED!!
the garden?? FORGERTABOURIT!! 🤩
Almariah — Google review
We arrived at the museum around 1.5hr before closing. I asked the lady (I am a native Japanese speaker) at the reception how long we would need to see everything and she said an hour, so we went in.
There is no way you can properly visit the place in an hour. If you are just rushing through, may be yeah but if you want to properly visit the place and read the description of the exhibits, no, you will need well more than an hour!
We were not pleased at all considering the JPY1,000 per person entrance fee they charged!
The wee miniature figure exhibit was very interesting. We were also pleasantly surprised to see Mcintosh architecture/design represented in the dolls house section. The traditional river boat/canoe exhibit was unusual and interesting. They also have a small Japanese garden at the back, which by the time we saw it, it was getting too dark.
Is it worth a visit? Yes, definitely, but not if you only have an hour.
Shame, it would have been a four star attraction if it weren't for the wrong advice we were given regarding the time needed to visit the place.
When in the neighbourhood, recommend to spend time here. Allowed me to better understand the depth of some of the history of this part of Japan. Easy parking on the property.
A fairly interesting museum of local culture, architecture, and the like. I thought the entry fee of 700 yen was a bit rich given the source of most exhibits (donations), the size of the museum (not enormous) and the subject matter overall, but reasonable people can differ on this point, I expect...
If you are an university student, you could get special price by showing your ID card. There are several buildings to visit and take a look, and the garden is so pretty. It's nice enjoying the view by only sitting on tatami. The stairs inside the police office a little bit too high, so be careful if you decide to go up
Great museum with H. I. S Alive King of Shonai, Tsuruoka - shi Yamagata prefecture
Is it winter? Don’t go. 3 building or exhibition closed. There are empty buildings… which we can take pictures of the empty rooms. An interesting exhibition, we are asked not to take pictures… The most interesting is the outside architecture.
Very well organised place with super interesting buildings preserved from the Meiji era and an excellent collection of everyday life of people in Yamagata/Shonai area from Meiji until early Showa era.

Zenpoji Temple, an ancient Buddhist temple dating back to the Heian period, is nestled in the serene Dewa Sanzan area near Tsuruoka's coastal region. The temple offers daily prayers and invites visitors to participate in Zazen meditation, providing a tranquil space for spiritual reflection. Monks-in-training frequent this sacred site, which boasts remarkable buildings designated as Tangible Cultural Properties.
Beautiful temple flushed with history, art, and culture! The prayer service is amazing to watch too!

No, it's not as old nor as famous (at least to gai-jins) as other temples but I loved the serene atmopshere of this temple with the total lack of tourists.
Despite the aged looks, most of the structures are from the 19th C, including the five-story pagoda.
There is a pond a short walk from this temple where you can see (if you are lucky) a carp with a human face.
This temple is on Dragon, lots of fisher men come here, i also come here to protect me from dangerous waves, a little bit poisoned by commercialism so i gave them 4 stars
Interesting temple complex. Local festival taking place with dignitaries whilst present.
Very good and best place to visit for relaxing
Nice temple
Nice spot for temple
Having been to many temples in many areas of Japan, we really enjoyed this one. Instead of overcrowded and smaller temples in Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka, this one is far more interesing and also more serene. You can walk around feeling all alone even on a weekend. The staff is very friendly and for a small fee you can see the inside and even enjoy a service. A fabulous temple in our opinion.

The Sankyo-Soko Rice Storehouses Site, built around 1893, comprises of a dozen warehouses that serve as a museum and souvenir shop today. The cluster of storehouses features traditional architecture to marvel at and is just a 20-minute walk from the station. Visitors can spend hours here or explore nearby attractions too. The site offers an interesting glimpse into the past and has been renovated to feature modern shops and restaurants while still retaining its classic atmosphere.
The parking lot is not at the Google map spot or the car GPS spot. You have to go around the corner to the main road and find the parking (which was free).
Great to walk around and very peaceful. The giftshop was nicely laid out and well priced. The little museum is very cute. There are several toilets.

A row of ancient warehouse that has origin a few hundred years ago. Place is visited by tourists for photography opportunities as there isn’t much explanation on the history. The warlord who started this also introduced a kind of small boat that’s fast and good for movement of produces along the river and its tributaries.
A very pretty set of old warehouses with lovely trees lining them and a cool wooden bridge. Sadly the warehouses themselves are closed, but there is a nice photo display and informational signs to tell you about them!
Must visit place when you are in Sakata. For me, the best time to visit this place when autumn comes. It's recommended to get to know about Oshin first before you come. The place is so cozy and not really crowded during weekdays. There are souvenir store and some food stalls of you want to eat something for lunch. There are a lot of kinds of souvenirs that you can find. Sadly, the museum is closed.
again another surprisingly interesting place . Just 14 old warehouses for storing rice and grain but a picture exhibit of 阿信的故事 stroke deep nostalgia for local and tourists alike . Most are closed and deserted actually but the tree side walk was very pleasant and scenic . Free parking Free exhibitions
A spot for tourists to buy souvenirs of Yamakata. I took photos from outside and the view is beautiful.
Beautiful, historical place. Has become a stage for lot of Japanese tele dramas, specially Oshin. Guides are there to explain how people stored rice in old days, techniques they have used, reason for selecting this place, everything explained kindly. Recommend to go early morning to take good photos freely.
Free car parking available but have to wait in rush hours.
In the visitor information centre , Suzuki a volunteer guide offered us a tour in English free ! The warehouses were used from 1893 up until 2022 for rice storage by the river . Fascinating talk about the construction the workers and future plans . Wonderful !

Maruike Pond

Scenic spot
Nature preserve
Nestled within a tranquil forest, Maruike Pond is a hidden gem that captivates visitors with its stunning turquoise waters. This small yet enchanting pond, measuring just 20 meters in diameter and reaching depths of 3.5 meters, is fed by natural springs and surrounded by a scenic path perfect for leisurely strolls.
The color of the water will be beautiful with the sunlight. The atmosphere is really calming, surrounded by the high trees. There is a small temple in the edge of the lake made this place feel more sacred. It's a bit difficult to find because there is no big sign in the road. But if you follow the google maps, you'll find it. Good place to visit!
Pinasindi W — Google review
It was just as beautiful as described, added charm from the woods around it, the atmosphere was magical. Very glad to have visited. Still, definitely has to be a sunny day!
Come in a sunny day at 10:00-14:00. The turquoise but crystal clear colour of the pond is glittering. It’s a small place and has a calming atmosphere. But, there are not many photographic subjects. It is not worth a visit itself. And, it is not easy to find. You have to drive there and park in the open space in front of a salmon hatchery. Facing the hatchery, walk to the right along the path, see the sign 丸池樣 and cross a little bridge, turn left and walk up the path a bit and you will see the pond on your left. It’s just a few minutes walk. Parking is free. Note: Remember to keep the water clean ~ so please don’t touch the water!
-Stunning
-Nice and quiet
-Plenty of parking
Visited around 10AM in early October. The water was truly as blue as the picture. There are also some fishes swimming inside.
Accredited to be one of the best quality water in Japan. No wonder there is a salmon field nearby. If the sunlight is right, the water shows Tiffany blue!
Looks better in person. Plenty of parking and very very short walk from the car to the pond.
A nice area, crystal clear streams. In very early spring the pond's water was blue, which was nice.
If you're not far, it's worth a look, but (at least at the time of year we went) it's not anything overly amazing.

Yakiniku restaurant
Nestled in a prime location, Yakinikuringoen Sakataten stands out as a top-notch yakiniku restaurant that impresses with its excellent cost performance and quality. The inviting atmosphere makes it a favorite among regulars who feel right at home here. Ordering is streamlined through an easy-to-use touch panel, although it may pose a challenge for those unfamiliar with technology. Diners rave about the thick-sliced short ribs and the surprisingly affordable prices, making this spot feel like a hidden gem.
(Translated by Google) Apple garden with main store in Takahata! I've been going there since my university days, and the quality of the meat is consistently outstanding 👍
Nowadays, we have ramen, and soy sauce ramen is a simple but addictive dish 😋
This is a restaurant you should try at least once!

I'm not sure if it's reasonably priced, but the meat is better than average, so I get the impression that the atmosphere is such that people who frequent the restaurant feel like they're just coming here. I remember that the store has been around for a long time, so I guess it's in good business terms.

It has a private room-like atmosphere so it seems easy to bring small children with you. However, there is an ashtray on the table so it doesn't seem to be a smoking area. There was an ashtray outside as well, but...
They had a children's menu.
This time, in addition to the meat, we ordered cold noodles and cheese chijimi!
The cold noodles were delicious❗️I was glad that I could adjust the spiciness.
The cheese chijimi tasted even better when grilled on a wire rack.

Sushi restaurant
Suzu Masa is an extraordinary one-word restaurant in Tokyo that offers an amazing Omakase experience for lunch, priced at 3000 yen. With only 20 spots available, it's a sought-after dining destination. One of their outstanding sushi creations is the Madai, which features sweet snapper seasoned with salt and sesame on top. This unique preparation sets it apart as one of the best nigiri sushi pieces you can find.
I have had a lot of sushi in my life and I can safely say this has been my favorite experience thus far. I had the omakase option. The chef somehow elevates the sushi to heights I have never experienced before. The play on texture, the perfect seasoning on each piece truly made the experience one should try at least once in their lifetime. Given the opportunity I will definitely go back!
Kenneth L — Google review
The sushi is incredibly delicious. I can clearly taste every ingredient, from the different types of fish to the meticulous preparation, whether raw or smoky. Everything has been outstanding, especially for my first experience at this kind of establishment.
Excellent sushi! No English menu and just eat whatever the chef serve you, very delicious! Though the price is not cheap, it’s still much cheaper than a comparable sushi restaurant in Tokyo. If you want a treat at Sakata, this is the place.
Good job!
Restaurant name is Suzu Masa. One word. Awesome. We did the Omakase (chef’s choice sushi) 3000 yen for lunch. They only have 20 available. The Madai (sweet snapper with salt on the bottom and sesame on top is one of the best pieces of nigiri sushi I’ve ever had. It is their special preparation. They are opening another location in Tokyo next to parliament this September 2nd. So if in Tokyo check it out.
(Translated by Google) PayPay and credit are available.
There are plenty of parking lots to the left of the shrine ⛩️.
I heard that it doesn't use any soy sauce and costs 4,400 yen for 12 pieces.
I received the omakase nigiri.
However, when I looked back with my friend, we only had 10 kan. why?
(I'll check it out next time I visit)
I enjoyed the sweetness of the fish and it was very delicious.
(The conger eel in the wooden bucket was so cute it made me laugh)
There were various differences in the temperature of the fish.
It would have been better if it was closer to room temperature.
(Thickly grilled
The omelet at the end was the coldest.)
7 pieces of special grade 3,630 yen,
The special price is 3,000 yen, but 4,400 yen is recommended.
I'll upload them in the order I recommend them.

Come if you like some history thingy and quiet place to just enjoy the day especially during Sakura season because I can see the trees are there with a big field to camp!
Come watch more of the park in my YouTube channel "Aerick Wanderland"
Beautiful place for a walk and enjoy the cherry blossom trees in full bloom.
Loads of food stands.
Boat is smaller than you would think .
Seaside Park with historic lighthouse and ancient cargo ship.
This is Very awesome!
Local people may not aware, but this park is very good as it is filled with many songs and poetry of historical person.
There is a ship, this also tells us about historical lessons.
The shape of lake and the landscape imitates the ancient sea route of business.
Incredible.
Really beautiful and well maintained park with a historic lighthouse and a pond with a sailboat.

Nestled in the historic buildings of a former Maiko and Geisha house, Sanno Club offers visitors a unique glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage. Originally established as Uhachiro in 1894, this venue has transformed from a high-end restaurant to an engaging cultural site. Guests can immerse themselves in the art of crafting Kasafuku ornaments—charming miniature creations that dangle from vibrant red umbrellas—and delve into the fascinating history of the Kitamaebune Ships at the downstairs museum.
Kind of old Japanese restaurant. Now full of Japanese hanging decorations.
There’s a tea room on 1st floor, nice garden can be seen. Lot of antique items are remaining on the 1st floor. No real rush even in holidays. Worth visiting if you have an interest on tradition Japanese items.
Entrance fee is ¥800. Car park available.

Hidden treasure in Sakata! So thrilled I came across the Sanno Club while looking at area sightseeing places in our hotel. This gorgeous former fine dining establishment has been turned into a truly magical space. The woodwork and architecture throughout the building alone is worth a visit, but the former banquet hall is now this lovely place to see the handcrafted work of local artists, both current and historical. Highly recommended.
This place is magical!
There is a cool history to it and the display of the kasafuku was stunning beyond words. The building is a beautiful example of old architecture that is so well preserved. The staff was super nice and sweet. Highly recommend a stop by while you are in Sakata.
My friends and I have who have all extensively traveled around Japan were very impressed with this building. The attention to detail of the design and craftsmanship of the building is a testament to how wealthy the family and area was! The second floor room filled with Yasafuku is absolutely stunning and magical. We all degree this is a very underrated site.
Probably one of if not the coolest thing we did on our trip. We got there right when it opened so it was so quiet and peaceful and the woman helped us and explained the meaning of everything upstairs. Then she even gave us a tour around the downstairs as well. The shop also has soooo many cool gifts for anyone. HIGHLY recommend a visit!!
A Beautiful collection of kasafuku! Staff are very nice and the exhibition is stunning!
Lovely old building bursting with gorgeous, pretty things ✨️
The umbrella covers(Kasafuku) are amazing, and if you try making one yourself you can imagine how much work goes into making one.

Somaro Maiko Teahouse in Sakata offers a traditional Japanese experience with maiko geisha performances, green tea, and wagashi sweets. The historic building showcases intricate architecture, paintings, and doll galleries. Visitors can enjoy the mesmerizing maiko performances from different periods of Japan and then relax in the garden with a cup of tea. This cultural gem provides insight into Sakata's history as a vital port city and its unique development of Maiko culture through trade with Kyoto.
Fabulous experience. We purchased the lunch show tickets and we're served a beautiful bento box then treated to a brief performance. Afterward we wandered around the building, which was just lovely.
Deanna B — Google review
We enjoyed seeing the art and architecture of the building. The host were very pleasant. We were disappointed that the music for the dance performance was recorded.
They have dedicated translators and I thought that was awesome 💯
A good place to enjoy Japanese traditional culture and dance.
A classic piece of Sakata history! The building itself is a work of art and the Maiko are as skilled as they are beautiful!
Well worth a visit. You can watch a Maiko (geisha) performance for a modest fee. Need to book in advance via the official website. The tour also includes a look into the past of the historic building, now operating as a Maiko school.
Just remember not to take pictures of the Maikos without their explicit permission.
Somaro shows a small slice of Sakata’s deep history as one of Japan’s most important port cities. The Maiko culture originally developed through trade with Kyoto on the Kitamaebune ships, but it developed in its own unique way to bring you one of the best locations for a cultural experience in Japan.
Somaro is an incredible place to visit. For those interested in architecture, you can experience and see closely all the details of what was a high-class restaurant. The paintings and dolls galleries are great to see. The staff is very nice and helpful and the most mesmerizing part of Somaro are the Maiko and their perfomances, ranging from different periods of Japan. After the perfomance, you can enjoy a cup of tea next to the garden and appreciate the sound and nature. Truly, Somaro is a must visit if you are in Sakata, a city full of surprises!

Nestled in the heart of history, the Homma Residence is a captivating glimpse into Japan's past. Constructed in 1768 by Homma Mitsuoka, this stunning samurai residence showcases the legacy of the influential Homma family, known for their significant contributions to commerce and land ownership. Visitors can explore its beautifully preserved interiors, which still house original kitchenware and artifacts from centuries ago.
Seeing the kitchen was highlight for me.
Roel P — Google review
Not worth visiting if you don’t have any interest on Japanese history. Photos are not allowed inside.
House looks very beautiful and rich. Still the kitchenware and some of the used items are remaining. There is another building opposite site where you can buy some souvenirs and see some old staffs.
Car park available, no rush.
The tree before you enter was the most interesting thing here you see.
Typical old-style Japanese house. If you've visited similar houses in Japan before, you can skip this to save time.
Very interesting place and a guide there who spoke English to show us round
Entry fee is too expensive for 700円
Beautiful residence

Homma Museum, established in 1947, showcases a wide range of Japanese arts and crafts exhibitions featuring tea ceremonies. This museum is known for its rich collection of historical artifacts from the Shonai region, including original works by renowned haiku poet Matsuo Basho. However, it's the unique and exceptional traditional garden that sets it apart from other museums- a must-visit destination for nature lovers.
So impressed by the villa, garden and art collection! It's so relaxing to drink matcha and look out to the garden. I didn't want to leave!!! Homma clan is a great art collector. I was able to read all the descriptions in english using the QR code! Well done!

Museum entrance fee is bit expensive, not worth visiting if you are not interested on Japanese history.
Outside there’s an house you can use the same the ticket to enter. Garden is well designed and maintained typical Japanese style one. Japanese style tea room is there where you can enjoy Japanese green tea and sweets for ¥600.
Fascinating museum, beautiful gardens with wonderful historic vila. Allow plenty of time, you will want to spend some time looking around.
A nice museum that hosts traveling exhibitions, I really loved the absolutely incredible garden, it blooms with a beautiful serenity that sings to you from inside.
Went there for the Hina Doll Exhibition. The front office staff is friendly and helpful. You can request her for an English pamphlet but explanation in English is readily available by scanning barcode (via internet). I paid 450 yen (cost for university student, bring your student card), but adult entry is 1000 yen covering all parts.
The museum consist of exhibition buiding, Japanese garden, and villa.
From the main entrance you will enter the exhibition building first. It's full of art and doll collection from various period. I recommend not to go alone because the nuance is kinda... vintage and eerie.
Note that the toilet is only here, so make sure to empty your bladder here before moving on to the other parts of the museum.
The garden is serene, you can hear birds and moving tree branches house. You can also see the beautiful villa and blue pond filled with huge koi fish from the garden. To enter the villa, just follow the mark. You will be greeted by another friendly staff. When I went there, they also show the hina dolls arragements and the 傘福 (kasa fuku) native to Sakata. The hina dolls exhibition lasts till 6 April 2023.
They also have umbrella service for free if it's raining, and you can enjoy tea+dessert in the villa at additional cost.
You can also bring professional camera, because photo and video are allowed in every parts. I won't spill the most beautiful part because it has to be you who discover it😄
This is a atypical museum which including a park and a historical building. There is not much exhibit showing in the main building but the most attractive thing to do is sitting on the historical building watching the park which seemingly as a picture of nature. The museum is equipped with carpark and toilet and is located in a convenience place.
We stumbled across this beautiful Japanese garden while waiting for our next train to Akita. We only had an hour or so in Sakata. It was an unexpected chance to rejuvenate our weary travelers’ souls.
The grounds are small but very calming. Make your way out to the 2nd level of the pavilion overlooking the central pond.

Ramen restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Yamagata, "Mikazukiken Nakamachi" is a must-visit for ramen enthusiasts. Despite its lack of parking, this charming eatery attracts a steady stream of locals from nearby offices during weekdays. The restaurant specializes in Sakata ramen, known for its soy sauce base and wonton noodles. While the soup may appear dark and intense at first glance, it surprises with a light and mellow flavor that balances out any bitterness typically associated with soy sauce.

First visit
It was after 11:30, but I was lucky enough to be seated after a 15 minute wait.
Order chashu men
Delicious! It smells good too!
The char siu here is really beautiful.
I guess it's because the char siu itself has a proper flavor, but it doesn't interfere with the ramen soup or noodles, and it seems to be nestling close to it ♡
You can feel it when you take a bite.
The wonton noodles that my family ate were so fluffy and dreamy!

If you have a chance, how about comparing the taste with my son's "Mikazukiken" in Midorigaoka?

(Translated by Google) Popular Sakata Ramen restaurant
``Mikazukiken'' is one of the most popular ``Sakata ramen'' restaurants in Yamagata, a noodle-producing area.
The Sakata ramen category is soy sauce ramen with wonton noodles, right?
Leaving aside that, the soup of the Chinese noodles looks dark and spicy, as expected from its reputation, but the bitterness and harshness of the soy sauce is removed, and it is light and mellow. However, it has a strong fishy flavor. A perfect balance that doesn't get boring.
The noodles are straight. The char siew is thin and spacious, but it's a lot. Wonton is fluffy
I'm really grateful for the generation that is tired of the soups these days that are just thick and heavy with a lot of things mixed in.
The inside of the store is small and shabby. Employees are calm
The ramen was delicious.

酒田ラーメンの人気店
麺どころ山形で、一大勢力を誇る「酒田ラーメン」その中でも人気を誇る、ここ「三日月軒」さん。
酒田ラーメンというカテゴリーは、醤油ラーメンでワンタン麺、てことなんですかね。
そこはせておき、さすが、評判だけあって、中華そばなるもののスープは、黒くて辛そうに見えるけど、醤油の嫌味やカドはとれてて、あっさりまろやか。でもしっかり魚系の旨みがある。くどくないギリギリのバランス。
麺はストレート。チャーシューは薄広々なのがばさっとどっさり。ワンタンはフワトロ
今どきの、いろいろ混ぜ込んでドロドロ重たいだけのスープに飽々してる世代には、ホントありがたい。
店内は狭くてボロっちい。従業員は淡々と
ラーメンは美味しかったです。
(Translated by Google) I had wonton noodles. The soup was darker than I expected, and I thought it would be salty, but the salty taste was mild. It seems to be a soup stock made from chicken or seafood, but it doesn't feel like it's overpowering and is an easy-to-drink soup. It goes well with medium-thin noodles. Is this the standard for Sakata ramen? It comes with chashu pork, menma, green onions, and wontons. Well, it's wonton noodles. The thin-skinned wontons are more melty than slippery and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The lightest tasting ramen I've ever had. Really interesting. Maybe the conditions were good. I'm hungry, but I don't feel well and don't want to eat heavy food...
꒰꒪꒫꒪⌯꒱ Pikon!
Today I’m going to eat Tsuki-style quick noodles!
I came to the store in such a state.
When you take a sip of the soup, it's surprisingly light. The soup stock is simple and, to put it bluntly, ``thin'', but it's delicious.
If my physical condition was normal, I might have taken it as a negative, but on the contrary, it was a good thing. It's good to have ramen like this.
I would not recommend this restaurant to people who usually like strong flavors and feel that their tongue (taste buds) may be degenerating.
Several of my acquaintances, including myself when I first moved to Sakata, criticized it as ``tasteless,'' and I can imagine a similar result. It's meaningless and I don't want it to get a weird reputation.
Ah, that's right. My taste buds will recover, as was the case with me, so I recommend it to those who have recently become aware that they have become unable to perceive delicate flavors due to the umami inflation spiral and are considering tongue therapy.
That's good, there are good aspects to both light and strong flavors, and you can feel ``delicious'' among a wide range of options.

そんな状態での来店でした。
スープを一口飲んで驚く程アッサリ。出汁もシンプルで悪く言えば"薄い"が、染みる。
体調が平常であればマイナスに捉えたかもしれないので逆に良かった。こういうラーメンがあっても良い。
普段、濃い目の味付けを好み自分の舌(味を感じる器官=味蕾)が退化してる可能性を感じる人にはお勧め出来ない店かな。
酒田に越してきた当初の私を含め、数人の知人は「味がない」と酷評した同様の結果が想像出来る。意味がないし変な評判されるには勿体無い。
あ、そーだ。私もそうだったんだけど味蕾は回復するので、味の旨味インフレ卍スパイラルで最近繊細な味付けを感じ難くなってしまったと自覚し始め舌治療を考えている人にはお勧めです。
いいですよね、薄味にも濃い味にも良い面があって幅広い選択肢の中で「美味しい」と感じれるのは。

A hearty set meal. The sashimi was fresh and the fried shrimp was plump and delicious. The tartar sauce is of course homemade and delicious.

I enjoyed my favorite dishes, including sashimi, rock oysters, and turban shells, while drinking beer and sake. I even had pork fillet cutlet, and the fried food was delicious too. While it was a bit pricey if you were eating everything by yourself, it was a great place because they serve set meals in the evenings. The service was also excellent.

I wanted to eat something local, so I searched for it and came here.
The interior has the atmosphere of a local izakaya.
It was a late night snack, but there is also a set menu. This time I had the Sawaguchi set meal.
For 1,650 yen, you'll be happy with the large selection of grilled fish, sashimi, and tempura.
Also, the oysters I received as a recommendation were large and very delicious. I think this is a restaurant that has delicious seafood.
The store staff are also very responsive. I enjoyed it.
I would definitely like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

I visited with five children in their 40s and 50s and their parents in their 70s who were returning home from Tokyo for a three-day weekend.
The evening course was surprisingly cheap, starting from 3,500 yen, so I thought it would be nice to visit a restaurant like this once in a while.
It seems that my friend's parents and Sawaguchi's family have been friends for a long time, and I had heard good things about them, so I made a reservation and visited for the first time in a while.
My mother went to the restroom in Nakaza, and when she came out, an elderly female clerk nearby said,
When I said hello, he didn't even say hello back and went into the bathroom with a disgusted look on his face. Perhaps he was holding back from using the restroom, but even if you take that into account, it seems like he's a better person than he was before he started serving customers with poor hospitality.
It was disappointing to see the arrogance of a long-established store, which is common among the older store staff, but the young proprietress, Kyomi, and the female staff were friendly, so I could see the positive aspects of the younger staff. I hope that you will continue to make the most of your efforts in the future.
I had told them in advance that I was allergic to shrimp, but it wasn't really a problem as I could just ignore the fact that shrimp came out.
As for the other dishes, on the day I visited, there was flatfish, etc., so I think it was good value for money considering the reasonable price.The customer base was calm and it was a private room, which was good. I would choose another kappo restaurant that is more than twice the price that I usually go to.
I think this is a good restaurant for those who think of it as a set meal restaurant rather than a Japanese restaurant.

三連休、東京から帰省中の40.50代子供と70代の両親5人で伺いました。
夜のコースが3500円～とびっくりするほどお安かったのでたまにはこういうお店もいいなと思ったのと、
友達の親御さんとさわぐちのご家族が昔から仲良くしているようで、良い噂を聞いていたので予約をして久しぶりに伺ってみましたが、
中座で母がお手洗いに行き、出てきた際に近くにいた年配の女性の店員さんに、
どうも～と挨拶をしたところ、挨拶すら返していただけず、ムッとした顔でお手洗いに入って行ったそうで。お手洗いを我慢していたのでしょうか、その点を差し引いても、ホスピタリティーの低い接客をする以前の人間性の方のようで。
そのような高齢の店員の方たちによくあるような老舗の驕りが出ているところは残念でしたが、若女将のきょうみさんやスタッフの女の子は愛想がよかったので、若い方たちの良い面を活かして今後もがんばっていただきたいです。
事前に海老のアレルギーを伝えていましたが、海老が出てきたことは抜けばいいので特に問題ではありません。
他お料理については、伺った日はカラスガレイ等も出ていたので、リーズナブルな価格設定にしてはコスパが良いのではないでしょうか、客層が落ち着いていて個室だった点もよかったですが、今後は倍以上のお値段で普段伺っている他割烹店を選びます。
割烹店というよりは定食屋さんという感覚で行く方には良いお店かと思います。

It's a restaurant where you can feel the sense of seasoning in the food, like Taberette, Kichibo, Hibigoto, etc.
It was really delicious. Satisfied and full.
"It seems like a long-established store and they have set meals. Well, it's normal!"
I thought about that and put it off until later. It's a waste. I should have gone earlier. It makes you want to eat it again and again, and it feels special (a taste you can't get at home). I have to warn myself against making selfish assumptions.
Thank you for the meal. I will go again ꒰꒪꒫꒪⌯꒱
P.S.: I know it's going to be difficult due to the rising cost of materials and prices, but I want the whole body of "Hokke-yaki" as a single item. Although it was delicious at that price point, I felt like I was missing out on something a little. Well, it's just a joke for a hokke fan.

Waterfalls
Tamasudare Falls, the largest waterfall in Yamagata at 61 meters, offers a spectacular sight. A short walk from the parking area leads to the falls, passing by a tori gate and gigantic trees. The atmosphere changes dramatically as you approach the falls, providing a cool respite even on hot days. Accessible and serene, it's an ideal spot for a visit. In summer, the falls offer refreshing relief and are easily reached from the parking lot.
Very nice and serene place, had the whole area to ourselves. There were tractors doing some minor construction work but one there was a pavement to the falls easily accessible even in winter, short walk from carpark

An easy walk thru a gorgeous and impeccably picturesque forest leads to this splendid waterfall. It's lightly visited which provides you with an immersive & intimate connection with the wonders of nature unleashed before you :)
The tallest waterfall in this prefecture, it is a sight and also, not too busy! You might even have the waterfall to yourself. Check out the Kirin mum statue with the kid, that's pretty unique.
It is the largest waterfall in Yamagata (61 m). The waterfall looks really spectacular. Just walk 50 meter or so from the parking slot (there is a small shop in the parking area, selling coffee and local vegetables) and you will hear the waterfall. In another 100 meter you will see the tori gate and the gigantic trees. Pass by the tori gate and you will be with your waterfall. The atmosphere is suddenly so different from the parking lot. The place is cool even on a sunny hot day. You will feel like you have suddenly transferred to the dense forest. Sit on some big stone and enjoy the beauty of the waterfall. It will calm your heart and soul.
These areas are all snow in winter. So please take special care if you are going somewhere in between November-April.
Quite special and easy to access. I basically had the place to myself in early April. The melting snow the refreshing myst, the purifying vibes all around. I’m really glad I made the trip here and was fortunate that it wasn’t raining or snowing but I got wet enough standing in front of the falls but it didn’t matter anyway. Maybe I should’ve brought that new rain poncho I bought.
This is a beautiful waterfall. It's not far from the car park. I just wanted to stay there. I have heard that this waterfall is really beautiful in the winter as well. I can't wait to visit this again.
Tamasudare waterfall the largest waterfall in Yamagata prefecture where the water plunges into the waterfall basin from a height of approximately 60meter.
Most recommended place to be if you are in Yamagata prefecture.
I visit this place every summer. It's beautiful during the day and magnificent when they light it up at night.

Mountain peak
Nature & Parks
Mountains
Mount Chōkai is a massive active volcano located at the prefectural border of Yamagata and Akita. It offers various hiking trails, scenic overlooks, and holds a history of spiritual activities. The area features unique rock formations shaped like candles and mammoths due to submarine volcano activity and wave erosion.
I had a chance to hike Mt. Chokai on August 12th. It was one of the best hiking I have ever had. There are many trails but the most popular one is the Hokodate trail. I arrived here at around 8:30 and it was packed already. Not only hikers but also nature lovers and campers were there to enjoy the spectacular scenery. The weather was awesome. You can take a pleasure of seeing Nihon kai (Japan Sea) after a beautiful green nature. Hokodate has restaurants, shops, information center, bathrooms, vending machines, observation deck etc. pretty much everything you will need. The trail starts across the road behind the rest house. Don’t forget to fill out the hiking form for safety. The course stars very smooth and nice path. Then a well maintained road with lots of big rocks comes. The rocks are flatted and placed well on the way. There is an observation deck after 5-10 min but no need to wast time here since there are other places on the way. After an hour you cross the intersection of two small mountains. This place had a great view with lots of flowers and snow on top of the mountains. After a short descending you will climb a steep section. This part might be a bit challenging but you will forgot everything once you reach the top of this section. There is a hut here. Good place for a break. I was sitting and watching the scenery in the front section but realized that the Chokai lake can be seen behind section. So just go around the hut and enjoy the Chikai Lake’s amazing scenery. Some people return from this point after having a walk around the lake. If you like to make the summit than just keep going by following the signs behind the hut. The rocks in this sections are more random which makes it a bit harder to walk. I am sure you will stop time to time to take photo of both Chokai-ko and the mountains on the other side. After about 20 min you will see a descending section follows with another peak. It was my first time hiking here so I thought this is the peak of Mt. Chokai. Actually it is just half way through. However the scenery and path were breathtaking. Before starting to ascend this peak you will see another path joins from the right side. This is the one coming from the waterfalls trail ( Ichinotaki, ninotaki ). From this point on the path becomes narrower and challenging. Once you reach the peak of this section you will see a small sitting area where you can have a short break. Soon you will see another sign at the fork. The right one goes through 3 different mountain peaks before the Chokai’s summit. Seemed too challenging. The left one goes to the hut near to the summit. I went from the left one. You can go from left and come back from the right one. The left section turns more challenging and steeper. You descend first and climb up to through rocky path. The first section is very and very slippery. Take your time, don’t rush. It was very crowded and I had to wait people in-front of me. You can see the summit from this point but it is not a direct path. You will go behind the mountain. You will see the signs every 15-30
min. It took me more the an hour to reach the summit from this point. On the way you will see some people on the top of the mountains on your right side. This is the other path goes to the summit. Once I saw the hut I had relief to reach up to here. The hut is big. There is a restaurant, a museum, a temple, bathrooms etc. You can buy drinks or have a cup of noodles. However this is not the peak yet. On your left you will see the big scary rocks. Just follow the white arrows. Don’t look back, just keep going. It is normally a 30 min climbing the peak. The peak is very small. Just take a photo with the sign and respect other people. This is the Shinzan peak 2136m (Mt. Chokai) Although you can descend from the same path there is another path on the other section to go back to the hut. Alternatively you can follow the path that goes to the peak of the other mountains to reach the starting point.

Snow-free season is good, but snow-covered season is great.
The slopes of the vast snowfall of the sunny day of May are hot.
The new mountain, which is bordered by the remaining snow, is even more rough.
You can go down and slide freely on a large snow surface by drawing a spur.
It is a fun unique to skiing.
However, you have to be careful enough to take the course after Ohama hut.
If you make a mistake in one of the ridges, you will go down in the wrong direction.
Check the course you have climbed and then slide down.
I will give this 5star not because of the service but the amazing views on top! Only those who are willing to reach the top will have an amazing experience!
It is local mountain.
A wonderful view welcomes you
So good.
Awesome view of the sea. Even if you don't go all the way to the top, you have great views all around.
On a clear day the view to the coast and sea seems to go forever.
-Lovely views when driving by

Nestled along the stunning coastline of Sakata, Jūroku Rakan Iwa is a remarkable monument that pays tribute to local fishermen. This captivating site features 22 intricately carved busts of Buddhist monks, created by a 19th-century monk as a memorial for shipwrecked souls and to ensure safe maritime journeys. The backdrop includes the breathtaking Mount Chokai, with its snow-capped peak adding to the area's natural beauty.
The feeling of finding the statue one by one then completing them was really great experience. The blue sky and the sound of the waves are great combination with the stones. In the upper side, there is a sunset point, you can see the sunset there. So it's recomended to visit when the wheather is sunny. If you want to go with public transportation, you can take the train to Fukura Station. It is the nearest station, then you can continue to walk.

A good rest stop to take scenic pictures!
If you're driving the route 7 on the Yamagata/Akita border then this is a nice stop to see a piece of history set in nature. You can have ramen first at the rest stop then take the path to the sea. Try to find all the monks who protect traveller's on their journey.
If you are in the area, worth stopping off to see. But not worth going out of your way to see. Beaches have plenty of modern flotsam. Which is actually the purpose of the carvings, to think of those lost at sea. Some more scenic views a little further to the north.
Cool place to stop for a break and try to find all the statues.
Beautiful scenery with an amazing carved stones. Close to Fukura station
Off the beaten track but very nice!
It’s a good scenic point while heading towards Akita or coming from Akita towards sakata. Has old remains of monks engraved in stones.

Kaikoji Temple is a unique and sacred place where the dead bodies of Buddhist monks are considered to represent living Buddhas. The temple houses six sokushinbutsu (mummies), with two enshrined in the sokubutsu-do hall. These mummies, including those of Tadashi Kaijin and Enmei Kaijin, underwent rigorous training for 1,000 days after fasting to death as an act of prayer during calamities.
Came here to see the Sokushinbutsu.
Entry fee 500¥ There is an Intercom, if the counter is empty. A nice lady came and gave me much information about the Sokushinbutsu. She translated to English with her phone and there are panels in English too.
Really nice experience
Johannes R — Google review
Fascinating historic temple. We visited to see the, once a year, display of the famous mummified monks. Wow, just amazing.
This is by far the best place to see sokushinbutsu in all of Japan. Only here can you not only see 2 at once, but also see them up close
Not very much to see here, takes about 3 minutes.
Peaceful. Quiet and beautiful. And being you're right in the middle of Sakata, there's plenty to do and see afterwards.
(Translated by Google) This is the only place with two sokushinbutsu!
It's incredibly beneficial!
They sell "Goiniri Omamori," charms made from the kimono worn by the sokushinbutsu. They're truly sacred relics!

The sokushinbutsu were fascinating and awe inspiring to see. The temple staff provided a detailed explanation and used a translation app so that I could understand fully. Aside from the sokushinbutsu there are extremely detailed carvings in the temple and there is also a small exhibit of items from the priesthood.
(Translated by Google) Shakozan Kaikoji Temple is a Shingon sect temple dedicated to the Taizokai Dainichi Nyorai (Vairocana Buddha).
The temple was founded by Kobo Daishi Kukai during the Heian period, approximately 1,200 years ago.
Later, Shinzen Shonin enshrined Yudono-san Daigongen (Taikaku Nyorai),
and was rebuilt by Chukai and Tetsumonkai as a branch temple of Yudono-san Churen-ji Temple, and continues to operate to this day.
Since the Edo period, the temple has supported the prayers of people as a base for faith in Yudono-san, one of the Three Mountains of Dewa, and continues to pass on the Buddhist rituals of Yudono-san today.
The fireproof sokubutsu hall on the temple grounds houses the only two sokushinbutsu monks in Japan. One was dedicated to Chukai, who entered nirvana in 1755, and the other to Enmyokai, who entered nirvana in 1822.
The main hall of Kaikoji Temple is a Gongen-style building, a single-story wooden structure befitting an ancient temple that was rebuilt by the priest Tetsumon during the Bunka era (1804-1818). The exterior walls are made of real wood and finished with white plaster, and the carvings on the veranda are intricately detailed. In particular, there are statues of sumo wrestlers on each of the four beams supporting the roof.

Food court
Restaurant
SAKATANTO is a newly reopened facility in Sakata Port, originally a warehouse built over 50 years ago. It now offers visitors the chance to explore local specialty foods and tourist attractions. The food court-style store features six unique restaurants serving delicious dishes such as seafood, ramen, and fish sandwiches.
This collection of restaurants is located near the ocean and the atmosphere indoors reflects that. You can feel the spirit of the ocean combine with delicious local cuisine for a wonderful dining experience. I ate at Senkatsu Kude!! A delicious fish bowl shop. The ingredients in each dish are fresh, delicious, and beautiful. The owner is vibrant and has a passion for food and especially sashimi. If you love tuna, this is a must-try!
Cassie M — Google review
There are a lot of selection of foods, especially seafoods. The dining room are available inside and outside. In the outside, you can directly see the port. Such a good experience to enjoy the food with the port view. It will be really crowded during lunch time so it will be difficult to find a place to dine in. The place is cozy and the toilet is clean. Good place to visit.
I ordered the fish and chips and the squid bento. It was good. I especially liked the fish and chips.
Small food court with good fish and chips plus various other dishes available.
(Translated by Google) Available before noon on weekdays.
It is shaped like a food court and seems to have 6 stores.
However, the only restaurants that seem lively are "Senkatsukuide!" and "Ika Koi Shokudo", which I used this time, and the others seem to be busy. Another store was temporarily closed.
The popular stores are facing each other in the center, so it's crowded there, and the edges are quiet.
So, the most important thing is that the taste of ``Senkatsukuide!'' was ``average.'' I went for the most luxurious seafood bowl, ``Oashio'', but the taste was not that different from my hometown in Saitama. The price is overwhelmingly cheap at 1500 yen, so I guess it's a good deal in a sense.
Even though it was cheap, I should have tried ``Ika Koi Shokudo'' as well.

平日の昼前に利用。
フードコート状になっていて、6店舗が入っている様です。
ただ、活気があるのは今回利用した「鮮活喰で！」さんと「イカ恋食堂」さんくらいで、他は暇そう。さらに1店は臨時休業でした。
その人気店が、中央に向かい合ってるから、そこだけ混んでて、端は閑古鳥が。
で、肝心の「鮮活喰で！」さんの味は「普通」でした。海鮮丼のいちばん豪華な「大潮」にしましたが、地元埼玉とさほど変わらない味。値段は圧倒的に安く1500円なので、ある意味お得かなぁ。
これなら安いのにして、「イカ恋食堂」も試してみれば良かった。
(Translated by Google) There are malls around Sakata Port that are lined with seafood stores and seafood bowl shops, and this is one of them. However, this restaurant is not closed on Wednesdays, so you can enjoy a variety of local seafood dishes even on Wednesdays. Since it's in a food court format, you can enjoy B-class gourmet food at a low price.

酒田港の周辺には海産物の販売所や海鮮丼の店がならぶモールがあるが、ここもその一つ。しかしこちらは水曜日が定休となっておらず、水曜日でも様々な地元水産物の料理をたんのうできる。フードコート形式なのでB級グルメなどもあり安価に楽しめるのがよい。
(Translated by Google) My kids really wanted to eat there, so we had a food court lunch at Ikakoi Shokudo and Senkatsu Kuide!!, which seem to be sure to be a hit. At Ikakoi, if you order a set meal, you'll get all-you-can-eat soft-boiled egg and salted squid. The squid was crunchy, chewy, and delicious.
This food court's business model seems to be a condensed version of Tsukiji's food court, but even before lunchtime on a Tuesday, there was a steady stream of people ordering food in front of the store. It seems to attract not only market customers but also local residents, and I think it's a sustainable business.
Several crane ships were in Sakata Port, and construction was underway, and wind power generation was also churning. While it was unclear whether this was construction, maintenance, or new development, what's clear is that it's a "living port." It's clear that it was a thriving port, as evidenced by the recent record of double the catch of last year.
I hope that the remnants of this once-thriving port, fueled by Kitamae ships, will be cherished and preserved for the future.

子供がどうしてもここで食べたいというので、鉄板と思しきイカ恋食堂と鮮活喰いで!!でフードコートランチ。イカ恋さんの方は定食を取れば温玉、塩辛食べ放題という太っ腹。イカはシャキシャキシコシコして美味です。
このフードコート、築地の食堂街の圧縮版という感じのビジネスモデルでしょうが、火曜日のランチタイム前だというのに店の前に注文の人が途切れることないので、市場の利用者のみならず周囲の住民も惹きつけていると見え、サスティナブルなビジネスになっているなと思いました。
酒田港にはクレーン船が何杯か入港してしきりと工事しており、風力発電もぶん回っていて、工事が保守が新規開発かは不分明ながら、間違いないのは「生きた港」であることで、ごく最近以下の水揚げが昨年の2倍をすでに記録したことで有名な通り、栄えた港であることがよく分かりました。
かつて北前船で隆盛を極めた名残を大切に未来に残して欲しいものです。
(Translated by Google) What is this food court-like place of terrible quality? The Ikakoi is always out of stock and the seafood bowl tastes like the sashimi you buy at the supermarket.
It's full of restaurants that cater to tourists, so it's best to avoid eating here and instead eat at the facility next door, you'll be throwing your money down the drain.
There are many more tastier things to eat in Sakata than this, this facility is a disgrace to the city.

酒田にはここより美味しいものが沢山あります、酒田の面汚しの施設です。

Ramen restaurant
If you find yourself in Sakata, make sure to stop by "酒田のラーメン 月," a delightful ramen spot that offers a refreshing alternative to the often crowded seafood bowl restaurants nearby. This branch of Mangetsu is known for its quick service and cozy atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for those looking to enjoy delicious wonton noodles without the long wait.
(Translated by Google) A branch of Sakata's ramen "Mangetsu"? I wonder if it is? The staff's apron notation is "full moon". The main branch is always crowded, so come here when visiting Sakata. The waiting time is short and the rotation speed is fast.
The fluffy wontons are delicious.

酒田のラーメン「満月」の分家？であってるかしら？スタッフのエプロン表記は「満月」。本家はいつも混んでいるので酒田訪問の時にはこちらに。待ち時間も少なく回転も速い。
ふわふわとしたワンタンが美味い。

(Translated by Google) My favorite is the stamina wonton noodles.
I would like to try various menu items.
I always end up eating only Stamina wonton noodles. It's delicious.

塩ラーメン 写真追加です。
(Translated by Google) I met you quite a while ago...
Visited the store after a long time (^-^)/
I arrived at the restaurant after 2pm, so there was only one customer!
We chose the 2nd recommended Tsuki special Chinese (regular) and the Stamina wonton noodles! !
Personally, I felt that the taste of the moon series was somewhat vague.
The wontons from Stamina Wonton Men were delicious (^o^)/
Next time, I would like to try other menu items (^-^)/
(Original)
結構前におじゃましましたが…
久しぶりに来店(^-^)/
時間ずれて14時過ぎにおじゃましたので、お客さんは１人だけいました！
おすすめ２位の月の特盛中華(普通)と、スタミナワンタンメンを選びました！！
個人的には、月系列の味が何となくボヤけてる感じでした。
スタミナワンタンメンのワンタンは美味しかったです(^o^)/
次回は、また他のメニューにチャレンジしてみたいです(^-^)/
(Translated by Google) I gave up on the seafood bowl restaurant on the premises because it was either celebrity prices or hellishly crowded, and my quality of life skyrocketed when I went for wonton noodles.
I've been to several other Mangetsu stores, and the taste was as good as any other store.

(Translated by Google) I heard that it is a shop that sells full moon noren curtains! I have visited you several times. It's always full of customers. It's been a while lately. I'm sorry. I always order Chinese noodles. The soup is a clean and beautiful soup. The slightly curly medium-thick noodles were delicious, but I think the female waiter's response... I think it would be better if they could think of ways to improve it⁉️ The Chinese noodles that the owner made were delicious and perfect. I ate it. Thank you for the meal. It's a restaurant that opens early in the morning, so as a ramen fan myself, this is a great place to visit.
It's been a while since I last visited you. It's morning. I bought some Chinese noodles from the ticket vending machine and gave it to my sister. A little while later, I was called and went to pick it up❗I put on my chopsticks and astragalus and went to my seat. It looks like an old bowl and is nostalgic. The noodles are also beautiful. The refreshing soup and medium-thick slightly curly noodles were delicious! ️Charshu and menma were also delicious. Thank you for the meal.
Sorry to bother you again. I'm alone today. Due to thunder and heavy rain, the road along the way looked like a river. I wonder if it's always like that!? ️ Even though the store hadn't even opened yet, especially around 9:10, there were a lot of customers. This is my usual order of Chinese noodles. It's good, but this time it didn't have a lingering taste⁉️I'm an amateur, so I can't find good words to express it, but it was delicious!! ️Thank you for the meal. The first house is finished. Now, what’s next⁉️

満月の暖簾分けのお店と聞いております！何回かお邪魔しています。いつもお客様でいっぱいです。最近はご無沙汰してしまってます。スミマセンです。いつも中華そばの注文です。スープはすっきりとした綺麗なスープです。やや縮れた中太麺も美味しかったけど、女性店員の応対が、、、改善策を是非とも考えて頂いた方が宜しいかと思われますけど⁉️店主が、仕上げて頂いた中華そばは、美味しく完食させて頂きました。ご馳走様でした。 朝、早くから営業されているお店なので、ラーメン好きな自分としては、強い見形ですね。
しばらくぶりにお邪魔しました。朝らーです。中華そばを券売機で買って、お姉さんに。少しして、呼び出されて、取りに行きます❗箸とレンゲを付けて、席に。昔の丼みたいで懐かしい❗麺も綺麗です。すっきりしたスープに中太やや縮れ麺は美味しかった‼️チャーシュー、メンマも美味しく頂きました。ご馳走様でした。
又お邪魔しました。今日は一人です。雷と大雨で、途中の道路が川の様に成ってました。いつも成るのかな⁉️開店時間間もないのに、まして9:10分頃なのに沢山のお客様です。いつもの中華そばの注文です。うまいんだけど、今回のは味に余韻が無かった⁉️素人なのでうまい言葉が見つかりませんし、表現出来ませんです🙇しかしながら美味しく頂きました‼️ご馳走様でした。一軒目終了です。さて次は⁉️

Salty!! ️
I wonder why it's so salty, but it's salty (-_-)
Wontons also have thin skins, so they don't have a wonton shape, and the skins stick together, making it seem like a different food.
My partner is normal wonton men.
This one is not salty and is quite normal.
The wontons are hidden in the chashu.

Izakaya restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Sakata, 久村の酒場 is a charming izakaya that exudes an inviting and relaxed atmosphere. This cozy spot offers a delightful array of reasonably priced dishes, making it a perfect destination for food lovers. While their selection of Japanese sake is impressive, the standout items include their braised pork and gyoza, which come highly recommended.
Classic old style izakaya, like from a time warp. Very friendly staff and patrons.
Phil S — Google review
An older, cozy izakaya, this place has a large selection of food and Japanese sake for you to enjoy, with prices that range from quite cheap to generally reasonable. One thing this shop does differently than most other places I've been is that if you're dining at the counter, they have several menu items available on display that require only a bit of reheating/finishing. The motsu from my picture is one such item. The gyoza is also some of the best I've had in Tohoku, though it could use a little more garlic for my taste.
(Translated by Google) All of the food is delicious, and they have a good selection of Japanese sake.
The only sashimi available is mackerel and squid sashimi, and the freshness is average, so there's no need to order it, but on the other hand, the seasoning of the side dishes is quite good.
Since there were a lot of people there, it was placed in a small raised area in the back, but unless you call out loud, you will be left alone. Originally, it was a restaurant where locals would come alone on a daily basis and drink at the counter, and there was no commercial interest.
I think this is a restaurant that has different tastes for travelers.
(Original)
お料理はどれも美味しいし、日本酒の品揃えも良い。
お刺身系はしめ鯖とイカ刺ししか無く、鮮度は普通で敢えて頼む必要はありませんが、その代わりお惣菜系の味付けはかなり良いです。
人数が多かったので奥の小上がりでしたが、大声で呼ばない限りは放置されます。本来は地元の方が1人で日参してカウンターで飲むお店で、商売気はナシ。
旅行者にとっては好みが分かれるお店かと思います。
(Translated by Google) It's an old-fashioned pub with a relaxed atmosphere.
All the dishes are reasonably priced,
and I recommend the braised pork and gyoza!
It's a place to enjoy Japanese sake,
and the food was generally delicious,
but there were many seasonal or out-of-stock dishes,
and I was turned down quite a few orders...
It didn't feel too good, as they turned me down as if it was the most natural thing to do.

(Translated by Google) It seems to be read as kumura. It seems to be a famous store, and when I first came here, there was a line even before it opened. There are raised seats and a counter. There is a wide variety of local sake such as Kamikigen, Fumotoi, Sugiyuu, and Hatsumagone, and you can also enjoy a variety of rare sake by the glass, including local limited editions. The inside of the counter is a showcase, and you can order snacks by pointing at the small plates you can see, but if you don't order at a good pace when it's busy, you'll be left behind in an instant. It might be a bar for advanced bar players. Both the peeled soba and pickled eggplant were delicious.
(Original)
くむらと読むそうです。有名店のようで、初めて来た時には開店前から行列になってました。小上がり席とカウンターとあり。上喜元、麓井、杉勇、初孫など地酒の種類が豊富で、地元限定などレアな日本酒もグラスで色々飲めます。カウンターの中がショーケースになってて、見える小皿のおつまみを指差しでも注文できるんですが、忙しい時にはテンポよく注文しないと瞬時にスルーされてしまいます。酒場上級者向けの店かも。むきそばと茄子漬けどちらも美味しかったです。
(Translated by Google) It's a traditional izakaya. Unfortunately, due to the timing of my visit, a lot of the food was sold out and I couldn't try the sashimi platter. It's great because you can drink local sake!
It seems that Yoshida Rui has also visited here.

Ramen restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture, Shinzan is a delightful ramen shop that promises an unforgettable culinary experience. With a convenient parking lot accommodating up to five cars and a user-friendly meal ticket system accepting various payment methods like cash and mobile payments, it’s easy to enjoy your visit. The cozy interior features ten counter seats and two elevated spots for diners looking for a unique perspective while savoring their meal.
(Translated by Google) Sakata Ramen is very famous. Among the many ramen photos on Google Map, I chose this one. The location is very good. I can eat ramen first after putting down my luggage. The soup base tastes like fish, the barbecued pork is soft and seasoned, mostly lean meat, with a little fat in the middle, which moisturizes the lean meat. Even if you eat the lean meat alone, it is not dry. The noodles are delicious. The eggs are jelly-filled and seasoned. 1050 yuan. I asked the chef to reduce the amount of noodles. I came again on the third day before leaving. I chose barbecued pork ramen, about 1200-1300. I forgot the price. There are eight pieces of barbecued pork and no eggs. For me, who has a small appetite, the one on the first day is more suitable. It was too filling.

酒田拉麵非常著名，在google map眾多拉麵相片中, 我選中這間，地點非常好，放下行李就可以先吃拉麵。湯底食出魚味，叉燒軟而有調味，多是瘦肉，中間夾著少少脂肪，滋潤了瘦肉的部分，即使單食瘦肉也不乾柴。面是好味的。雞蛋是jelly 心，經調味。1050元。我有請廚師少面量。我第三日臨走時再次光臨。選了叉燒拉麵，大約1200-1300我忘記價錢了，有八塊叉燒，沒有雞蛋。對於我飯量小而言，還是第一日那個比較合適，太飽啦
Kiko C — Google review
(Translated by Google) I used it during lunch time on a certain day in August 2024.
Train journey from Kumamoto, Kyushu on the Seishun 18 Kippu.
I was looking for Sakata ramen near the station, but many of the shops were closed during the Obon season, so I ended up going to this shop, which is not in the so-called Sakata ramen category.
But the result was okay. I chose the ``Yuzu Salt Ramen'' which was relatively light, and it was perfect for me as I like seafood-based soup😎
Yuzu is also a good accent 😀
It's a taste that gives you a glimpse of the owner's commitment.
Also, even though the store was crowded, the guidance to the seats was accurate, smart, and perfect ✨
I was deeply moved by the smiles of the staff and the passion they put into the drinks, and they added a touch of sparkle to the memories of my trip 😊Thank you very much✨

2024.8某日のランチタイムに利用しました。
九州熊本より青春１８きっぷでの鉄旅。
駅チカの酒田ラーメンを目当てに探していましたが、お盆時期でお休みのお店が多く、いわゆる酒田ラーメンの部類ではないこちらのお店へ入店。
しかし結果オーライ。比較的アッサリ目の「ゆず塩ラーメン」をチョイスしましたが、魚介系ダシが好みの私にピッタリ😎
柚子も良いアクセントになっています😀
なるほど店主のこだわりが垣間見える味です。
また、店内はゲキ混みの中、席への案内が的確かつスマート、完璧です✨
スタッフの方の笑顔と一杯にかける情熱に感激、旅の想い出にひとつ華を添えていただきました😊多謝✨
(Translated by Google) It's a ramen shop.
There is a parking lot and 5 cars can be parked in front of the store.
It's a meal ticket system. In addition to cash, Suica, WAON, and PayPay were accepted.
Inside the store, there were 10 seats at the counter and 2 seats on a raised floor.
This time I had the "Ajitama Ramen". I tried the ramen and it was delicious with a good dashi soup.
At first glance, I thought the soup would be dark and strong, but it was surprisingly mild and easy to drink.
There was a gap with the impression, and on the contrary, I felt it was a little thin. The char siu was grilled, and the flavored eggs were well seasoned and delicious.
It's open from 10:30 a.m., which is a nice touch, as it opens a little earlier than lunchtime.

見た目スープの色が濃くて濃そうと思いましたが意外とマイルドで飲みやすかったです。
印象とのギャップもあり、逆に少し薄くも感じてしまいました。チャーシューは炙られていましたし、味玉はしっかり味が染みていて美味しかったです。
10時30分から営業で、お昼時より少し早めな時間から営業しているのも嬉しいポイントでした。

🗾Ekimae East, Sakata City, Yamagata Prefecture
🍜Noodle shop Shinzo
💴 Flavored egg noodles 1020 yen, fish powder 50 yen
Looking at the Instagram posts made me want to eat tsukemen even though it wasn't a mirror effect, so I did a search🔍️ and went to "Menya Shinzo".
It was well past lunch time, so I bought some flavored tsukemen noodles that had a big button on the top of the ticket vending machine, and was guided to a counter seat.
There are other tatami seats available.
The ramen you ordered is served within 10 minutes after being seated.
The dipping sauce has a strong seafood flavor, but it also contains fishmeal, so you can fully enjoy the seafood.
The owner commented that the soup was carefully boiled with dried sardines and bonito flakes.
The noodles were straight, medium-thick noodles, and had a chewy texture that made them slippery!
Of course, it goes well with the dipping sauce.
The flavored eggs are just as soft as I like them, and the yolks are soft and soft, making me very satisfied~🤤
The seasoning of the chashu was strong, but I was able to enjoy it very well.
It would be a waste to leave the dipping sauce behind, so I drank it all the way to the end 🍜
In addition to tsukemen, they also have ramen, so if you're in the area, I highly recommend you try it 🍜

こだわったつけ汁を残してしまうのはもったいないので最後まで飲み干し完飲しております🍜
つけ麺だけでなく、ラーメンもありますので、近くにきた際は是非食べてもらいたいと思います🍜
※以前来店したときと看板が変わっていましたね😁
(Translated by Google) The soup is rich but lacks punch. I think some people who like it will like it.
The noodles and soup alone are not enough, so I recommend adding toppings. Personally, I think it goes well with sweet bamboo shoots.
(Original)
濃厚だけどパンチに欠けるスープ。好きな人は好きだと思う。
麺とスープだけだと物足りないのでトッピング推奨。個人的には甘めのメンマが相性良き。
(Translated by Google) I visited again in the midst of Golden Week. As a result, the inside of the store was a bit crowded, and although they were usually very polite in guiding people to their seats and accepting meal tickets, the customer service was a bit sloppy today, perhaps because of my imagination. However, the taste is top notch as always.
I've been frustrated not being able to visit again since they closed on Sundays, but today I went back for the first time in about a year. This time I ordered Ajitama Ramen + Lunch Rice, but the price of Lunch Rice had increased by ¥10. However, they added mayonnaise, which wasn't available when it was ¥100, so I felt that it was more than just a price increase. I would like to visit again, but it's too bad that it's closed on Sundays. It would be a great help if you could blame me and reopen the business on Sunday, even if it's only once a month.
I visited again for the first time in about 2 years. After all, Sunday regular holidays are too painful. As someone who can only take Sundays off due to my job, it's very fatal for me, so to be honest, I sincerely hope that they return to the business structure they had when they first opened. This time, I ordered "Zenzen Ramen" ¥1550. It's a fairly expensive menu, but I decided to go for it to relieve the stress that comes only once in a while. Despite the name, the toppings were quite voluminous, and I ended up running out of noodles with about half of the toppings left, but since this is a ramen shop with high quality and the flavors I like, I wasn't too concerned about it. What I was more concerned about was the customer service attitude. Previously, I had the impression that the store was more lively and staff members cooperated by talking to each other, but today there was a somewhat chaotic atmosphere, and in the end, I was working on my smartphone at the edge of the kitchen. I witnessed the clerk start. Honestly, I couldn't help but feel that the level of customer service had steadily deteriorated since I hadn't visited again for a while. Therefore, I gave it one minus.
(Original)
GW真っ只中再訪しました。それだけに店内は混雑気味で、いつもは席の案内・食券の受け取り等丁寧ですが、気のせいか今日は少々接客が雑でした。それでも味はいつも通り一級品。
日曜日定休になってから再訪できずに歯がゆい思いをしてましたが、本日約1年ぶりに再訪しました。今回は味玉らーめん＋ランチ飯をオーダーしましたが、ランチ飯は¥10値上がりしてました。ただ¥100の時にはなかったマヨネーズが追加されていて、単純な値上げではない工夫を感じました。また再訪したいけど、日曜定休が痛すぎます。責めて月に１度でもいいので日曜日にまた営業を再開してもらえると大変助かります。
約2年ぶりに再訪しました。やはり日曜定休日が痛すぎます。仕事柄日曜しか休みが取れない身としては非常に致命的なので正直オープン当時の営業形態に戻してほしいと切に願ってます。今回は「全増しらーめん¥1550」をオーダーしました。かなり割高な部類のメニューですが、たまにしか来れないストレスをぶつける意味で奮発してしまいました。名前に違わずかなり具にボリュームがあり、半分程具が残った状態で麺が無くなってしまいましたが、元々クオリティの高い好きな味のラーメン屋なのでさほど気になりませんでした。それよりも気になったのが接客姿勢でした。以前はもっと店に活気があり、店員同士の声掛けによる連携が取れていたイメージが残ってましたが、本日は何となくだらけた雰囲気があり、挙げ句の果てには厨房の端でスマホを操作し始める店員を目撃してしまいました。しばらく再訪しない間に着実に接客レベル関しては劣化の一途を辿っている感が正直否めませんでした。よって☆一つマイナスとしました。
(Translated by Google) P.S.: I had the limited edition Rich Shrimp Miso Ramen. I have the shrimp miso every year, but this year it has been further improved and is more delicious.
Personally, I try not to drink the entire ramen soup for health reasons, but it was so delicious that I drank it all up.
I would like to add that everyone has different preferences when it comes to ramen.
This ramen is characterized by its pure white soup and homemade noodles. It is rich and thick and very different from the typical Sakata ramen, but the balance between the soup and noodles is good, the seasoned egg is well made, and it is delicious. The side of the char siu rice is also quite high quality. It has been featured on local ramen programs many times and has become a popular restaurant.
When it first opened, there were more menu items, and I was hooked on the "rich salt" that was once available. Thanks to this, although there are many other famous ramen restaurants in Sakata, I only go to this one.
Although the menu has been reduced since the restaurant first opened, there is always a "limited noodle" menu, which changes irregularly every January or February. These limited noodles are tricky. Personally, some of them are better than the original Ajitama Ramen. The miso and shrimp varieties, which are only available in winter, and the spicy noodles that were available until recently were all excellent curry ramen. I would love to see these on the regular menu. All of them are based on Shinyama's delicious white soup, so the taste is guaranteed. I am fascinated by the potential and spirit of challenge of this restaurant, which is challenging itself with various types of ramen while maintaining the taste of the main soup.

追記:期間限定の濃厚海老味噌らーめん を頂きました。海老味噌は毎年頂いていますが、今年は更に進化され旨くなっていると感じました。
個人的にラーメンのスープは健康面を考慮し
完飲しないように心掛けていますが、あまりの
旨さに飲み干してしまいました。
あくまで、ラーメンの好みは人それぞれで
あることを後置きしておきます。
純粋な白湯スープと、自家製麺が特徴のラーメン。こってり濃厚で一般的にいう酒田ラーメンとは大きく異なるが、スープと麺のバランス良く、味玉の出来も良く、旨い。サイドのチャーシュー飯もなかなかレベルが高い。地元のらーめん番組にも何回も取り上げられ、最早人気店になっている。
オープン当初はもっとメニューがあり、自分はかつてあった｢こってりの塩｣にドハマリ。お陰で酒田には他にも有名ラーメン店はたくさんあるが、ここにしか行かなくなった。
現在はオープン当初よりメニューが減ってはいるが、「限定麺」メニューが常にあり、不定期に1~2月周期で変わる。この限定麺が曲者。個人的には本家の味玉ラーメンを超えちゃっているものもある。冬季限定の味噌系や、海老系、最近まであったスパイシー辛麺なんてカレーらーめん系でかなり秀逸でした。是非ともレギュラーメニュー入りさせて欲しい出来栄え。どれも新山珠玉の白湯スープベースなので旨さは保証されている
メインのスープの味を守りながら種々多様な系統のらーめんにチャレンジなさっているこの店のポテンシャルと、チャレンジ精神に魅せられております。
(Translated by Google) I visited for the first time for dinner.
The restaurant is mainly counter-style.
The soup is a combination of one animal-based and one fish-based soup?
It's delicious while you're eating it, but the taste of the fish powder lingers, so it's a love-it-or-hate-it restaurant.
The noodles seem to be medium-thick and straight, to my taste.
They're slightly firm.
The pork slices are hard, as they're made from simmered lean meat... personally I don't like them.
The boiled egg is well-seasoned and has a nice creamy texture, but is too salty on its own.
Overall, I think this is a restaurant that people will either love or hate.

夕ご飯で初お邪魔。
店内はカウンターメインですね。
スープは動物系と魚系のWスープ？
食べている時は美味しいですが、魚粉の味がずっと残る感じで好き嫌い別れますね。
麺は感覚的に中太ストレートかな？
若干硬めに仕上がってます。
チャーシューは赤身を煮込んでいるだけあり固い・・・個人的にはNGです。
煮卵は味が染みていて、かつキミのトロッと感も良いですが、単体で食べると塩辛過ぎですね。
総合的には好き嫌いはっきり別れる店だと思います。
