Cafe & Bar SUPER GOOD
Miyagi - Sendai, Hokkaido & Tohoku
Cafe & Bar SUPER GOOD sits like a warm pocket of music-loving energy in downtown Sendai, a place where the city’s relaxed Tōhoku temperament meets an intimate, audiophile-minded cafe/bar culture; by day it hums with pour-over coffee and vinyl quietly spinning, and as night falls the lighting softens, cocktails appear and the room becomes a small-but-focused listening salon. The owners treat records and playlists with near-reverent care, so you’ll hear anything from mellow jazz and city pop to local indie and rare Japanese rock, often curated around themed nights or visiting DJs, while a compact stage invites solo acoustic sets that feel unpretentious and immediate. The interior favors warm wood, vinyl crates within reach, and a bar that encourages conversation with staff who are happy to recommend records or the house drink, making it ideal for travelers who want an authentic slice of Sendai’s music scene rather than a generic tourist experience. If you appreciate attentive sound, friendly locals, and a place that transitions seamlessly from afternoon respite to late-night listening room, this is a superb stop.
