With the application of "Priority Measures to Prevent Spread" in Miyagi Prefecture, in principle, Sendai City will open from the night of the 5th to May 6th for all stores that have obtained a business license for "restaurants" under the Food Sanitation Law. By the morning of the day, alcoholic beverages are required to be served by 7 pm and open by 8 pm.



At the bar "noir" in Kokubuncho, Aoba-ku, Sendai, we were planning to open only for reserved customers during the period, but the reservation itself was canceled on the night of the 5th.



As a result, we were forced to close the store without waiting for 8:00 pm to request a reduction in business hours.



Yoko Shoji, who runs the bar, said, "Under the prefecture's own state of emergency, it is open until 9 pm, so I thought I'd do my best, but the provision of alcoholic beverages is very difficult by 7 pm. There are 15 cases. This month's reservation was almost canceled. I want Kokubuncho to be a place where you can enjoy eating and drinking quickly. "
