rock cafe PETERPAN
Miyagi - Sendai, Hokkaido & Tohoku
rock cafe PETERPAN sits tucked into Sendai’s bustling Ichibancho shopping and nightlife quarter, a cozy, slightly weathered refuge for rock lovers a short walk from the station; think a narrow room hung with vintage band posters, well-worn guitars, and a carefully curated stack of vinyl that the owner spins between live sets. Locals drop in for strong coffee by day and handcrafted chu-hi or local beers by night, while regulars — musicians and fans alike — trade stories about the Tohoku scene; the bar’s intimate stage and close-up acoustics make every small gig feel like a private discovery. What makes PETERPAN special is its genuine, unpretentious devotion to rock: you’ll hear classic anthems and Japanese indie cuts side by side, often introduced by the staff who know the backstory of each record. If you want to experience Sendai’s music culture away from tourist routes, this is the kind of place where strangers become friends over a great riff and a well-poured drink.
