What I Spent on a Day Out in Sendai 🇯🇵 | Solo Izakaya, Ramen & Beef Tongue

Hi! I'm Tuma — a Japanese woman living alone in Tohoku, Japan 🇯🇵🫶 I took the Shinkansen to Sendai for a study session. By the end of the day, I had eaten more than I planned and spent more than I expected. But Sendai has a way of making you feel like it was all worth it. I hope you enjoy weighing up the real cost of a day in Sendai with me. 🌿 ───────────────────── 📍 Places Visited — Sendai, Miyagi ───────────────────── 03:57 🍜 DASHIRO A ramen shop known for its deeply flavorful dashi broth.
