The Miyagi Museum of Art itself is not typically known for its food history but rather for its collection of art and culture in the region. However, the area surrounding the museum, Sendai, is rich in culinary tradition. Sendai is the largest city in the Tohoku region and is well known for its local cuisine which includes an array of special dishes that reflect the local culture and history. This ranges from seafood from the nearby Pacific Ocean to mountain vegetables and fruits from the region’s lush valleys. Many visitors enjoy exploring the local food culture after taking in the art at the museum.
