"The signature dish, Shintan Teishoku, is so luxurious it's only available in limited quantities. This high quality beef tongue is grilled over a charcoal fire and uses only the softest part of the tongue - the “core tongue”. Thickly cut and covered in moderately salted sauce, you’ll savor the umami and unique texture of each morsel."

"Gyutan isn't cheap, but I left the restaurant satisfied. I'll definitely be back to try more. As a meat product, gyutan might not make it through customs as a gift for family or friends, but I highly recommend trying it while you're here. It's one of Sendai's specialties for a reason."
