Very nice city just north ease of Tokyo.

Sendai Japan Founded 1600

Sendai Japan Founded 1600, located northeast of Tokyo. My first impression was the city seemed a little bland & boring, it turned out I was totally wrong, the city has an exciting nightlife area called Kokubuncho. As you can see above elevated walkways spread out from the station to surrounding buildings.

Tokyo to Sendai on the Shinkansen.

Sendai Japan Founded 1600Very good food & only a short walk from the station.

Oyster bar Sendai Japan

June 12, 2018 by David Herd

A Fabulous Feast in Sendai

Oyster bar Sendai Japan

Oyster bar Sendai Japan

Oyster bar Sendai Japan provided a terrific feast of delicious large natural oysters. Here is the reason these oysters are so good; “A cold current that contains nutrient-rich water travels down the coast from north to south. The two currents collide at around the Sanriku area, which includes the coast of Miyagi Prefecture.” The mixing of these currents leads to plankton blooms, which attract migrating fish. “This same nutrient- and plankton-rich water makes Matsushima Bay oysters delicious,” these wild oysters were first discovered as a culinary delight and harvested from Matsushima Bay back in the 17th century.

These oysters are rather huge.

Oyster bar Sendai Japan I was lucky the night to find this great little restaurant Ostra de Ole  the oysters were half price so I ordered 10. 

A ll of a sudden I thought I was in heaven. 🙂

Oyster bar Sendai Japan It seemed that I was in heaven, sitting in a great little oyster bar drinking ice cold beer, listening to Abba singing Dancing Queen & waiting on my 10 oysters to arrive. And as I said, tonight they were half price, B300 or $12 AUD, priceless. 

My night just kept getting better.

My waiter Ryuichiro Yamamoto a nice young university student who was studying Space Engineering, rolled up with a bonus 3 oysters on the house.
