Seirokaku
焼肉・冷麺 盛楼閣
A famous cold noodle and yakiniku restaurant next to Morioka Station, featuring hand-kneaded thick noodles, rich beef bone broth, and fully fermented kimchi with seven levels of spiciness.
Located on the 2nd floor of World Inn GEN Plaza in front of Morioka Station, just a 3-minute walk from the exit, making it highly convenient before or after a train journey. The cold noodles feature springy, hand-kneaded thick noodles in a broth slow-cooked with beef tendon and bones, paired with a specially made, fully fermented kimchi. Spiciness can be adjusted across seven levels, and the restaurant sells about 1,000 bowls a day in summer. They also offer a wide selection of yakiniku, private rooms, and accept credit cards, with a total of about 144 seats. Cold noodles are around 1,500 JPY. Average lunch spend is 1,000 to 2,000 JPY, and dinner is 3,000 to 4,000 JPY. Queues form before opening during peak seasons. Closing times vary by source (from 23:00 to 2:00 the next morning), so it is best to call ahead if visiting late.
