Well, all good things must come to an end, and our tour ended with a Halloween-themed farewell dinner at the Westin Hotel in Sendai, an unexpectedly good hotel in what turns out to be a lovely city. And our goodbye dinner at the hotel was astoundingly good given where we were.
After champagne and amuse-bouches, the meal started with a mi-cuit salmon with pumpkin seeds, mandarin orange sauce, garlic and vinegar.

Continuing the Halloween theme, dessert was a pumpkin Mont-blanc with chestnut ice cream.
And truly embracing the concept was our intrepid guide Andy, who was wonderful in every way!
