I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Utagoe Coffeehouse in Sendai City to continue to operate, and that the elderly people who attended it will become more isolated.
The Utagoe Coffee "Balalaika" in Sendai is a place of relaxation for chorusing popular songs from the Showa era, and was attended by about 30 regular customers in their 60s and 90s.
