Special Set Now Available at Sakai Coffee Zao Sansuien-mae Store

The 'Sakai Coffee Zao Sansuien-mae store,' operated by the Gaia Group, has started offering a new store-exclusive menu. This initiative was developed with the themes of regionality, seasonality, and enhancing the value of stay, aiming to provide customers with an experience of the unique charm of the Zao region through food. The store serves as a hub where tourists, two-region residents, and locals interact. This new menu was planned to further enhance that value. The special set is a unique dish that fuses Zao ingredients with Miyagi's fermented culture. The set includes gratin (using Zao cheese), fried chicken, deep-fried seasonal vegetables, salad, chicken rice, daily miso soup (Sendai miso), and dessert. The price is 1,640 yen (tax included). The core of the flavor is the Sendai miso, provided by the long-established Yamakano Brewery in Tome City, Miyagi Prefecture. Founded in the Meiji era, the brewery uses local soybeans and rice, and long-term aging through traditional methods to create a deep, aromatic Sendai miso that adds depth to the entire set. This set is not just a meal, but a content piece to experience the region, condensing the story of Zao's ingredients and Miyagi's fermentation culture into one plate. The Gaia Group plays a role in connecting 'Tourism x Region x Food' as a reception function for Gaia Resort, a regional exchange hub, and a food dissemination base. For those who order the special set, we also offer 'Angel Pancakes' for an additional 500 yen and a set drink for 220 yen. We invite you to experience this 'regional plate' only available here when you visit Zao.
