The beef tongue stew was really good, tender and rich. I also ordered the gyutan curry ramen from the other menu, which was a nice surprise. A bit pricey but fun to try different things in one place.

The sashimi platter was the highlight. The tuna was so tender and flavorful, you could really taste the quality of the seasonal fish they&#39;re using. That&#39;s what I come here for.

Counter seat is nice for watching the chefs. Sashimi and grilled clams were fresh, and the bill stayed under 8000 yen.

RIGOLETTO TAPAS LOUNGE offers a fantastic selection of wines at reasonable prices, making it a great choice for wine lovers. The ambiance is lively and perfect for celebrations.

The skewers were cooked just right. I went for the salt-grilled ones mostly&mdash;the pork belly and chicken wings were spot on. The sauced ones were a bit heavy for me, but still fine. A solid choice for a quick bite.

Right by Sendai Station&#39;s west exit, B1 floor. Easy to miss. The portions are huge for the price, no extra charge for bigger sizes. Had the grilled beef tongue set, very generous. Good for a hungry traveler.

Huge portions, the green onion rice is massive. Good for a quick lunch, they even throw in a boiled egg.

The beef tongue was incredibly tender, and the wild vegetable tempura had a nice variety. I enjoyed a glass of sake with the sashimi, which was a good match. Just a heads up, if you&#39;re seated at a regular table, there&#39;s no call button, so you have to get up to flag down a server.

The Janjan Miso was pretty good. It has that consistent, comforting flavor I remember from years ago. A decent, simple dish that feels familiar.

Spacious place with a really calm, traditional vibe. Sat in a tatami room this time. Felt authentic, just like you&#39;d expect from a proper Japanese spot.

The ramen and fried rice set is a solid deal. The broth was rich, but the fried rice could use a bit more seasoning.

The owner is so cheerful, always says hello with a big smile. My sirloin steak was cooked just how I like it, simple and good. A nice, straightforward meal.

The lighting is just right here, not too bright or dim. I like how they&#39;ve used polished glassware to catch the light, it adds a nice touch. Makes for a really comfortable spot to just grab a casual bite.

The fettuccine with Bolognese was a good choice. They brought a big block of cheese to the table and grated it right over the pasta for you. The noodles had a nice, firm bite to them. A solid, simple pasta spot.

Nice traditional vibe with a small waterfall at the entrance. All private rooms, which is a plus.
