Experience of the stay
During my visit to Miyagi Prefecture, Sendai, I stayed at 'Sendai Guest House Umebachi'. It’s an 8-minute walk from Kurakute Station on the JR Senseki Line. While it’s a bit away from the city center, it’s conveniently located for sightseeing in Sendai.
The entrance to the guest house features a cute Umebachi logo, and upon opening the door, I was greeted by the warm smiles of the owner and the hostess. It felt like coming back home, a comforting atmosphere. What stood out particularly was the communal dining table. When I stayed, there was a pre-reserved dinner with beef tongue curry on the first night and kenchin soup on the second. Enjoying meals while chatting with other guests and the owner was a highlight of the trip.
The dormitory beds were clean and provided a comfortable space. After a good night’s sleep, the next morning marked the beginning of a new journey. This stay, filled with heartwarming encounters and delicious meals, made me genuinely think, 'I want to stay here again.'
Experiences during the trip
Taking a break at the stylish café 'Northfields' during my sightseeing in Sendai. This café, managed by a British owner, boasts an exotic atmosphere that is truly charming. Since it was a hot summer day, I ordered the cold brew iced coffee. It had a refreshing taste that slowly seeped into my body.
Accompanying that were scones and carrot cake. The scones had a perfectly balanced texture, crisp on the outside and moist on the inside, wonderfully complemented by the clotted cream. The carrot cake had a hint of spice/cinnamon, and its moist, rich flavor was delightful. The cream cheese frosting on top had just the right amount of sweetness, pairing perfectly with the coffee.
I enjoyed a relaxed time in a quiet café, savoring delicious sweets and coffee.
