Beef Tongue (Gyutan)
A thick slice that puffs up over the charcoal, releasing fragrant steam. Sendai's specialty, grilled beef tongue, was created specifically to achieve this unique texture and savory flavor. It was invented by Keishiro Sano, who ran a yakitori shop in Sendai. Shortly after the war, he focused on Western-style tongue dishes and developed his own unique style of cutting the beef tongue thickly and grilling it over charcoal. The extra effort of salting it and letting it rest for several days before carefully making incisions to grill it is what creates that signature elasticity. The 'Beef Tongue Set Meal,' served with barley rice, tail soup, and pickled greens, has become a symbol of Sendai's food culture. With many specialty shops lining the streets of Sendai, please come and experience an authentic dish.
