Matsuzakaya — Restaurant in Sendai

The best dining experience of my recent Japan trip - a MUST visit if you are in Sendai!

Every course was delectable and beautiful in presentation, we particularly enjoyed the opportunity to compare the two types of beef and the various condiments provided to elevate the eating experience (we were provided wasabi to grate, the miso butter was a personal favourite)
