Nice cafe with delicious food. My Japanese special hamburger was super tasty with their dry ginger ale. I would recommend if you happen to be in Mediatheque.

The manager/owner was able to convey the menu selection, in limited but sufficient English. Ordered two "cafe" latte and "hamba". Coffee was good by Melbournian standards. The hamba was plumb and juicy. I was very happy with the meal. Nearly diverted back for another serving the next day but too many other restaurants and cafes to explore .

Very comfortable cafe on the first floor of Sendai Mediathecue building. Nice place to relax inside beautiful architecture of the cultural centre. Pretty good lunch choice, Omukarri was amazingly flavourful. Missing vegetarian options for those who need them but has a good choice of Belgium beers. Would highly recommend for mid day relaxing change of pace while exploring Sendai.

We had the burgers, and it was absolutely delicious. I'm glad there's such a good option for food in the great ambiance of the Mediatheque. I reccomend to order an extra set of fries and drink.
