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!

Beef tongue is a specialty of Sendai, and Rikyu beef tongue is a famous store in Sendai and even in Japan. There was a long queue at Rikyu at Sendai Station. Fortunately, I met an international student who had lived in Sendai for a long time and told me that there was a restaurant near Aoba-dori. There were few people, the thick cuts were very elastic, and it was delicious.

It was a truly unforgettable meal. I had long heard of Sendai's famous beef tongue, and I took the Shinkansen to Sendai in anticipation. After the central gate of the Shinkansen, I went to the tourist information center to ask where the food was. I didn't expect it to be so convenient. There are several beef tongue specialty stores right in the station. I chose Rikyu and was lucky. I didn't have to queue up and was seated directly. Facing the large transparent glass, I could see the chefs grilling the beef tongue. The slices of beef tongue were very thick, and of course, the price was not cheap. The grated yam with rice and beef tongue were really delicious. The bowl of soup was also very delicious.

After a day of walking in the rain, I arrived in Sendai hungry and found the nearest beef tongue restaurant to JR and Nikko Hotel. I almost cried when I took a bite. How could it be so thick! How could it be so juicy! How could the soup be so delicious! How come the clerk couldn't understand a word of English!
