I’ve heard about Sendai beef tongue for a long time
On the first floor of Parco department store outside the inn
I actually discovered the Lijiu store
It really came true
Good people have a happy life
I was taken to the high-seat area
expressionless master
in front of me
Dancing with the bloody cow tongue
in his heart
What are you thinking about? ? ?
1,650 yen set meal
Very good value
There are 6 slices of grilled beef tongue
a big bowl of salad
wheat rice
Braised oxtail soup
Slightly salty and spicy Nanman pickled tiger pepper
It’s refreshing Japanese kimchi
In the small bowl is silky yam puree
Add some umami soy sauce
Mix in wheat rice
The Japanese just know how to do tricks!
Caramelized outer layer
The chewy beef tongue inside
Full of fresh and sweet gravy
It tastes like kidney flower
Although the taste is perfect
Still sprinkled some seven-spice powder
Completed the sacred mission of trying something new ~
Rikyu is a beef tongue restaurant that is on par with Date. I just ate at Date last night, and the difference is quite obvious.
Date is more like a Western-style fast food restaurant, while Rikyu is more like a Japanese izakaya.
Date's thick-cut beef tongue is tough and roasted more thoroughly, while Rikyu's is more tender and lightly roasted. But both are delicious, the ingredients themselves are excellent, and they are delicious even without seasoning.
I prefer Rikyu's soup, the difference is very subtle, perhaps because Rikyu's soup gave me a piece of stewed beef tongue.
Don't miss the beef tongue when you come to Sendai!

The tri-color mochi is topped with three kinds of bean paste, zunda, sesame and walnut, all with different flavors. The edamame paste has the natural sweetness and texture of edamame, the rich and fragrant sesame, and the slightly tangy walnut, exuding a Japanese flavor.

I finally got what I wanted after eating the beef tongue. It was freshly grilled and really delicious. I ate it for two days straight without getting tired of it.
There are a lot of beef tongues here, this one is very cost-effective, don't force anything else

Because of the shortage of staff, you have to queue for a while before you can get a seat. There is only one breakfast, but you can pair it with other ingredients, such as yam, egg, and seaweed. The roasted beef tongue is thin and fragrant, and the rice is added with barley to make you feel full. Delicious! Basically everyone recommends this beef tongue breakfast, so I got up early to queue up. Maybe because of the high CP value, I queued for almost half an hour! But it was still worth it.
After visiting Sendai Station Mall, I found Date Beef Tongue. There weren't many people there, so I had dinner there. I ordered grilled beef tongue, braised beef tongue and steak salad. The grilled beef tongue was good, but not as soft and smooth as in Hong Kong, but chewy. The stewed beef tongue tasted ordinary. But the steak salad was very delicious. There is a takeaway shop outside the store, and we bought some ready-to-eat beef tongue to take home.

A very popular beef tongue restaurant that offers seafood, fish and other dishes in addition to beef tongue. There are many branches in Japan. The yellow sign opposite the green Dudu Oshu Sendai Hirose-dori is its symbol. The thick and soft beef tongue grilled with Binchotan charcoal is hot and juicy and sweet. There are also a wide variety of exquisite fish and shellfish. The staff is very attentive and friendly.
In my eyes, the most perfect beef in the world is not Matsusaka beef or Kobe beef, but the very cool and precious Sendai beef. If I meet you in Sendai, it would be very nice! !
