    Yamagata Yonezawa-shi Arcadia 1-808-20
    Just a five-minute drive from the JR Yonezawa Station, this Historic store has been making eki-bento box lunches for travelers since the Ou Line first opened up in 1899, and has grown along with the train station. Their specialty is the gyuniku dojo box lunch, made with beef marinated in their secret sauce topped over fresh fluffy rice with beef crumbs. The Yonezawagyu Sumibiyaki Special Calbi Bento is recommended for its high grade sparerib beef grilled over an open flame. Their box lunches are not only sold at the Yonezawa station store, but inside Tokyo station, and have also been entered in national Ekibento competitions. These box lunches can also be ordered for catering events.

    Yamagata Yonezawa-shi Higashi 3-1-1
    This ekiben box lunch vendor, located in front of the JR Yonezawa Station, is directly operated by the historic original ekiben shop known for the gyuniku domannaka beef bowl, a Yonezawa specialty. In addition to the standard sweet and spicy soy flavored gyuniku domannaka beef bowl topped with plenty of beef crumbles and marinated beef, the salt-flavored, the miso-flavored versions, and the combination 3-flavored version, sanmi-gyuniku domannaka, are also recommended. The long-selling kurimeshi bento rice bowl topped with chestnuts and shiitake is also popular. The shop also sells local specialty foods, cherries, Yonezawagyu and tsukemono pickles for souvenir gifts.

    山形駅、新幹線ホームにあるニューディズで買いました。味付けは3種類あって、今回はみそ味を購入。ちょっと甘い味付けでお肉も柔らかくて美味しかったです。ご飯の量もちょうど良かったです。 この次は違う味にチャレンジしたいです。

Yamagata Areas

around-area-map

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
