They open early, which is nice. I had the fried tofu and some firm tofu for breakfast. It was a pretty hearty meal, the portions are decent. A solid start to the day.

The white interior is so clean and modern, which I really appreciate as someone who values a fresh atmosphere. The space feels very open and well-designed.

The Zunda Shake was my first stop after getting off the train. That edamame paste gives it a thick, almost grainy texture that&#39;s really interesting. Not too sweet either, just a solid, unique drink.

The three-color mochi set was lovely. I found the sesame one particularly nice, with a smooth paste and just a little saltiness. A very pleasant, quiet spot for a little treat.

The pickled mustard greens and ginger are a nice touch. Lets you switch up the flavor halfway through the bowl.

The portion of Sanriku sea urchin here is quite generous for the price. It&#39;s a good deal, especially when you think about what you&#39;d pay in a bigger city. The seat was comfortable, which made the meal feel relaxed.

Good for a quiet business dinner. Staff was attentive and responsive. The location is discreet, which I prefer. Food was decent, but the price point felt a bit high for what you get.

The Skirt Skirt Meal lunch set is the reason to come. The Sendai beef was incredibly tender, cooked just right. The set comes with rice, miso soup, and a small salad. It&rsquo;s a solid deal for the quality of meat you get. Found it by the subway exit.

Spacious and quiet inside, perfect for a long lunch. Wi-Fi was reliable, and the background music was nice, not too loud. Just a bit cool with the AC.

The lamb and wild boar were both cooked perfectly, no gamey taste at all. Staff knew the menu well.

Got the Yakisuki. Staff grilled the meat right at the table. Dipping it in the raw egg yolk was the best part. Rich and creamy.

Convenient location in the Tapio complex. Much less crowded than the downtown branches, which was a plus.

Been coming here for years. The soba noodles are always spot on - simple, clean, and just the right texture. It&#39;s the one thing I keep coming back for.

A bit pricey, but I always come back for the desserts and tea. The apple pie is my go-to, warm and just sweet enough. My friend liked their coffee too. Solid spot when you&#39;re in the mood for something sweet.

Ordered the sushi for room service from the hotel. It arrived super fast, still chilled. The fish was really fresh, and I liked the little ginger garnish they added. Made for a perfect lazy night in.

A bit pricier than usual, but the coffee&#39;s quality is top-notch. Had their signature dessert, the texture was really something else. The space itself is quite unique, makes for a nice occasional splurge.

The spicy miso sauce was the star for me. The main dish itself is pretty simple, mostly just salt. But that sauce on the side? It&#39;s got a real kick. Glad I tried it, made the whole thing much better.

The chawanmushi starter was so warm and comforting. It arrived steaming hot, just the right temperature. The flavor was really nice and made for a relaxing start to the meal. The server was very pleasant, too.

Cozy basement spot near the morning market. Came for lunch by myself. The owner was super friendly, chatted a bit. Felt really welcome, not rushed at all. Portions are decent for the price, left comfortably full. Good for a quiet solo meal.

The food is really good, especially the presentation. But the prices are high, so it&#39;s more of a special occasion place for me.

The parfaits here are huge! Not too sweet, which I really like. Just the right amount of indulgence for a little dessert craving.

The Shroom pizza is a wonderful vegetarian choice, and the sausage platter is also very enjoyable.

Quick lunch spot. Staff remembered me from yesterday, that was nice. Got my usual chicken rice in under 5 minutes. Perfect for a fast bite between meetings. 👍

As a Michelin star restaurant, the creativity and attention to detail in the dishes are commendable, making it a must-visit for food enthusiasts.

The owner is super friendly, really makes you feel welcome. He checked on us a few times, remembered we liked the spicy sauce and brought more. That personal touch is nice.

Good variety beyond porridge. Desserts like cassata are solid, and they serve drinks at night. Quick bite option.
