Traditional Japanese food and great music

Lively atmosphere fills the whole room, at the few tables along the wall ...

... as well as at the counter

Fantastic looking food—and it tastes so good too!

Every single centimeter of the room is made use of; that gives it its cozy and kind of private atmosphere

Mondo Bongo (2-1-13 Kokubuncho, Aoba Ward, Sendai) is one of those hidden, great underground places that I would never have found myself. The place offers a mix of very traditional Japanese food as well some international choices and good jazz music. Sometimes, when people come with their instruments and spontaneously start playing, I feel like being in the middle of a band practice. Don’t look for a menu at Mondo Bongo, there is none. The master, Shū-san, will ask what you’re up to and tell you the total cost. I always made a good deal with this system and I’m sure you will too.
