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.
