[If you're struggling to choose a sushi restaurant in Sendai] How to enjoy sushi, from someone with over 20 years of experience in the food and beverage industry

"I want to eat delicious sushi in Sendai."

When you look into it with that in mind, you'll find a wide variety of places, from long-established famous shops to authentic counter-seating sushi bars and casual sushi restaurants.

On the other hand, because there are so many options,

"Where should I actually go?"

Many people likely find themselves wondering this.

Sushi is a genre that is difficult to compare based on price alone. There are days when you want to spend special time with someone important, and nights when you want to slowly enjoy sake and appetizers. There are also days when you just want to casually taste fish from Miyagi.

That is why I believe what is important is not whether it is "expensive or cheap," but rather,
"what kind of sushi do I want to enjoy today?"that matters.

Why I wrote this article

I have been involved in the food and beverage and alcohol industries for over 20 years, and I have seen many restaurants and scenes related to alcohol.

What I feel through that experience is that the charm of a good sushi restaurant is not just in the "deliciousness of the nigiri."

The appetizers leading up to the nigiri, the seasonal ingredients, the pairings with sake or wine, the distance from the chef, the service, and the time that flows within the shop.

When these come together,a unique experience specific to that one sushi restaurant is born.

Conversely, no matter how highly rated a shop is, if it doesn't match your purpose for the day, you might feel that it was "a little different from what I expected."

Therefore, in this Michinoku Gourmet, I have selected 5 shops in Sendai City from the perspective of "what kind of sushi time can you enjoy," rather than a simple popularity ranking.

Points I focused on this time

In this article,

・Is it easy to choose for a special occasion?
・Can you enjoy seafood from Miyagi and Tohoku?
・Can you enjoy sushi and wine?
・Can you slowly savor appetizers and sake?
・Is it easy to use for everyday meals or with family?

I have emphasized these perspectives.

The 5 shops I will introduce this time also have completely different directions.

A place to spend special time with someone important, including the food and service.

Restaurants where you can enjoy the pairing of sushi and wine along with ingredients from Miyagi and the Tohoku region.

Renowned restaurants where you can spend a relaxing time moving between appetizers and sake, not just nigiri.

Unique sushi restaurants that are based on Edomae style but also allow you to enjoy the chef's creativity and playfulness.

And a place where you can enjoy seafood delivered from Shiogama relatively casually.

Even within the same genre of "sushi," the ways to enjoy it vary this much.

Who is this recommended for?

This article is recommended for:

・Those who want to enjoy authentic sushi in Sendai
・Those planning a meal for an anniversary or with someone special
・Those who want to taste seafood from Miyagi and the Tohoku region
・Those who want to enjoy sushi and sake
・Those interested in the pairing of sushi and wine
・Those looking for a sushi restaurant that can be used for family meals or casual dining

is recommended for.

I hope this will be a reference for those who think, "If I'm going to eat sushi in Sendai, I want to choose a place that suits my purpose."
