Cafe K-port — Restaurant in Kesennuma

Nice place, great location right at the port of Kesennuma. Pretty varied menu that includes curry (lunch only I think), pizza, coffee drinks, desserts and more. The Kesennuma pizza was a Neapolitan style red sauce pizza with garlic and no cheese. I’d recommend that one as it tasted great and wasn’t heavy. You won’t miss the cheese. Ken Watanabe is an owner and started the place to aid recovery from the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. So that’s nice too. Apparently he drops by if...

This place clearly lives from the famous patronage from Ken Watanabe.

There have been no other orders, but we still had to wait half an hour for the drinks, much longer for the meals.

Meal (Makanai Don) have been so small , and the taste was not good, but still expensive.

I know about the background of K-Port, but as it is, I suggest to go to the restaurant right next to it or to Murasaki Ichiba instead. Much better atmosphere and friendlier...

The current menu, Dec 2024, is attached. I got the shrimp curry and one thing to note is seafood flavor is heavily incorporated into the curry, so recommended for seafood lovers.

Fun history fact, after the tsunami that destroyed almost everything, Watanabe asked what he could do for Kessenuma and the people asked for a place where people could meet and then...
