This has been my go-to store for coffee beans and takeout coffee beans in the last year. The coffee beans are not roasted in-house, but rather come from a shop in Akita (Nagahama Coffee), the owner of which is world-renowed and has participated as international judges for some of the biggest coffee competitions in the world. That is to say, you are buying premium beans, some of which are competition grade. The roast levels tend to hover around medium, but there are usually light roasts available, and one dark roast as well.
The owner also puts together her own blends, which have all consistently been fantastic. Furthermore, the price for a cup of the daily house blend is quite a bargain, especially considering it retains the same tier of quality as the other options. You can also try a small bit of the daily coffee for free, no strings attached. Pourover is the way to go here.
The owner also offers a number of other coffee adjacent snacks and local goods, but I haven't tried them yet, so I can't speak for their quality.
The shop is small, so they only serve coffee as takeout.

We walked for fifteen minutes from our hotel to the shop, because it was that good! We also got some drip coffee and beans to take with us back to Germany - we tried one of the drip coffee bags and it was so so good!
Thank you for being so welcoming and helpful! We hope to come back to Sendai for your...
