One of the great things of having a father-in-law who used to work in Sendai during the week from a tiny apartment while returning to the family home in the weekends, is that my father-in-law knows all the best restaurants and obscure locations in Sendai. He introduced us to the best yakitori restaurant in Sendai,Tanuki (狸) in a basement around the Sendai JR station area which has now moved, cleaned up, and is not the same anymore
Another place he introduced us to was the Akebono (明ぼ乃) unagi restaurant in the Ichi Ni San Yokochō area which was why we first got to visit this area. It was love at first sight! The area is a true maze and it takes a lot of asking around if you’re looking for a specific place but it is a very popular place for salarimen to go after work and grab some good food and beers.
