Sendai Japan Founded 1600

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.

Only one hour twenty minutes & very few passengers if you don’t travel in peak hour.

Lunch at the ANA Holiday Inn.

Very good food & only a short walk from the station.

Lots of modern glass skyscrapers.

Quite a typical modern Japanese city.

Long covered shopping arcade

These arcades are found in many Japanese cities.

At night the action is in Kokubuncho

Nearly 3,000 restaurants and bars crowd within a fairly small area. People flood this area until very late each night, especially at weekends.

Lots of restaurants large & small.

The only problem is deciding where to eat. 🙂

Seafood is very popular all over Japan.

Good sushi eaten in Japan is hard to beat.

Ostra de Ole is at the beginning Kokubuncho.

Huge delicious oysters, follow THIS LINK for more photos.

Highly ranked Thai restaurant near my hotel.

Called in on my way to the hotel for a couple of glasses of red wine.

The owner & his wife were very nice friendly people.

Oyster bar Sendai Japan

A Fabulous Feast in Sendai

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.

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. 🙂

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.

Oyster bar Sendai Japan

Cold beer, huge oysters & great music, it does not get any better than this in an Oyster bar Sendai Japan. 🙂

First bar as you enter Kokubuncho

kokubunchô is the largest entertainment district throughout Tohoku and is located in the center of Sendai, in Miyagi Prefecture. About 3000 restaurants and bars are located there. Many people flock to this area every day, specifically during the weekend after a long week of work. The area is composed of various restaurants, Izakaya (Japanese style pubs), bars, nightclubs, etc . If you are looking to party, you came to the right place.🤗

Many thanks to Ostra de Ole & Ryuichiro Yamamoto .
