When it comes to food, Sendai is famous in Japan for its gyu-tan, or beef tongue, cuisine. This is where the grilled beef tongue dish was first invented in 1948 by Keishiro Sano, and even now you can taste his original style of preparing gyu-tan preserved at traditional restaurants like Umami Tasuke. The city is proud of their beef tongue and you won’t need to walk very far from Sendai Station to find dozens of gyu-tan restaurants everywhere on the street!
A serving of quality beef tongue is certainly an awesome experience but it won’t come cheap, however you can also find a number of cheaper options around Sendai so even if you’re on a budget you can still enjoy this Sendai specialty.
