エルマル

El Maru is a charming pub and bar located on Honcho Street in Sendai's Aoba Ward. This cozy venue offers a Spanish-inspired menu, featuring seasonally changing dishes. Some highlights from past offerings include Spanish-style omelets, homemade pickles, mushroom ajillo, and anchoïade potatoes, known for their flavors that cater to fans of Mediterranean cuisine. Reviewers previously enjoyed the sardine confit, although current menu offerings are unclear as no new information has been shared recently by the owner.

The establishment opens its doors from 6 PM until the early morning hours of 3 AM, Monday, and Wednesday through Saturday. In addition to its food, El Maru is appreciated for its full bar service, providing a wide range of spirits and wine, with occasional availability of sake. Visitors may want to ask the staff for recommendations or details about drink specials available during their visit. While the location might be a bit tricky to find at first, this adds a certain speakeasy charm to the experience, making it feel like a hidden gem in the city. With no reviews or updates in the past nine years, prospective guests should approach with curiosity regarding any changes or new offerings since then.
