Sendai Cuisine｜Thick-Cut Grilled Beef Tongue Set Meal with Charcoal Aroma

How can you visit Sendai and only try beef tongue at one place!?
Our second stop is the super popular "Gyutan Ryori Kaku" 🐮🔥 This restaurant specializes in thick-cut charcoal-grilled beef tongue, boasting a rich smoky flavor, crispy exterior, and tender interior! On weekend evenings, there's almost always a line, so it's recommended to visit on weekday afternoons for immediate seating👌 The interior features a traditional Japanese style, with spacious seating and a comfortable atmosphere. 🍽️ What I ordered:
🐮 Tan-yaki Set Meal (JPY 2500)
4 pieces of thick-cut beef tongue, slightly charred and crispy on the outside, chewy and juicy on the inside.
Served with springy barley rice and a warm oxtail soup—absolutely satisfying! 🐮 Wagyu Tan-yaki Set Meal (JPY 3800)
Delicate and tender, melts in your mouth, with richer marbling.
However, I found it a bit too rich to eat in large quantities.

👉 Personally, I still prefer the classic option! It's more balanced and lets you fully enjoy the charcoal-grilled aroma. For first-timers, I recommend starting with this set!
