    P.S. The cost performance of that sushi was outstanding.

We had to walk for an hour or so to the nearest supermarket for food and on occasion we would wander out to and find some local restaurants/cafes. There was an amazing fish market, that served ramen and all sorts. Everything was so fresh! Also the locals were so forgiving and lovely (despite my terrible Japanese.)

      Most famous and tastiest flesh of a cow, bull, or ox, used as food called Wagyu beef, or more specificaly, Sendai Wagyu beef is in process of becoming liquified due to the increased temperature of the opening and cavity in the lower part of the human face, surrounded by the lips, through which food is taken in and vocal sounds are emitted.

    I love Sendai! I'm not going to post my favorite izakaya, but in over 8 visits, I've never seen another western patron. But near the shopping area, there are loads of great izakayas. And don't forget the discount priced food at the luxury food court in department store Mitsukoshi. And the Aeon department stores often have a to-go food departments that have great offerings at very reasonable prices. If you're stuck out late or need a snack, the Lawson, 7-11, or Family convenience stores offer excellent coffee, sandwiches, sushi, bakery goods that are very good, unlike American convenience stores, which you would only consume if you were starving, and maybe, not even then!😜
