"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)
In particular, our server, Saiko Hayasaka, went above and beyond in making our night a thoroughly enjoyable one. Despite not being very fluent in English, she translated every single aspect of the dish (down to the specific condiments) to let us know what we were eating. When her translator device was malfunctioning, she even used her own phone to translate the ingredients for us. As part of the dinner, she helped us to film the chef’s cooking process and gave us a special message to make our night all the more memorable. As we could not drink caffeinated drinks at that time, Saiko-san provided an alternative of juice for us too. Her attention to detail, meticulousness and care in her service is truly commendable. All the staff and the delectable meal made this the most memorable dinner for us in this trip. Thank you for the wonderful experience!"
