Tohoku Restaurants

Tohoku's a great place for fresh food, whether from the fields, mountains, forests, or seas. Restaurants range from local sake shacks to upscale sushi bars and steak houses, and dress may be street-casual to office attire, but rarely will it be formal. Menus may not always be in English, but you can find window displays full of plastic representations of the menu. Credit cards are widely accepted in cities, but they are rarely accepted in the countryside. In many restaurants you'll take your shoes off at the entry and place them in a cubicle.
