So I guess I should talk about some food. Below the Sendai train station there are many restaurants. I found one in particular that did not have a picture menu. I had to drag my server outside to point at the food I wanted in order to place my order. As you can see I found some pretty good shrimp tempura and noodle soup for a very reasonable 880 yen. That&#8217;s less than $10 US. Pretty good deal.<\/p>\n<p><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/ST0ZiicV-YI\/AAAAAAAABOQ\/X3TXBuWRDqM\/s1600-h\/IMG_0844.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/ST0ZiicV-YI\/AAAAAAAABOQ\/X3TXBuWRDqM\/s400\/IMG_0844.jpg\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277402419500022146\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday I traveled from Narita to the Tokyo station and then took a shinkansen fast train to Sendai.
