We had a great experience here! The thing that drew us in was the fish, but talking with the owner was so fun and we got some great information on the area. The drinks we had were also fantastic. Definitely recommend a visit if you're in Matsushima! :)

Amazing little bar with a great bartender. I was served some truly delicious drinks. In addition, his English was really good and meant we could have good bar chat even with my poor Japanese.

Coolest coffee spot ever. Really great specialty coffees available as a pour over. Interesting fish and turtle inside the shop along with a cute bar. The owner was also really nice and let us feed the turtle!
