When it comes to Sendai, beef tongue must be the number one must-eat! In Taiwan, beef tongue is very expensive and thin, and it always tastes empty. So when you come to Sendai, you must try every beef tongue restaurant! Today's "Shimi Taisuke" is said to be the birthplace of Sendai's beef tongue. There are a total of eight branches in Japan, five of which are in Sendai. However, the first store seems to be "Miji Taisuke", and there are two The store is diagonally opposite, only a minute's walk away. It's very similar. It's a pity that I didn't go to the original store.

When I arrived, it was about 5:50 pm on a weekday. There was no queue at the door of the restaurant. It was very strange and made me worried that it was not open or the food was not good. 

​  

It turned out that it was full of people, and the smell of barbecue was overwhelming as soon as I entered. It was really a waste of worry 😂

The decoration inside the store is very retro, and you can see the traces of the old store's years. The dining area only has a bar counter and two tables on the tatami. Although the dining environment is small, it is not too crowded and is quite comfortable. The smoke smell of grilled beef tongue is also taken away by an exhaust fan, so that the entire restaurant will not be filled with smoke. taste.

​   

There are also thoughtfully provided hangers for hanging clothes.

 ​ 

As soon as we entered the store, the staff brought hot towels and iced green tea, and there was also seasoning powder on the table.

​  

The menu is very simple, just beef tongue and eel. Just divide it into how many pieces of beef tongue, a la carte or a set meal?

​  

Drinks are on the back

​  

We were arranged at the bar, right in front of the oxtail soup. We could see the waiter cooking the oxtail soup "very seriously". He was very particular about the proportion and saltiness of each bowl. He made it bowl by bowl with great care, not adding green onions. Just throw the silk in casually and pull it, I'm so impressed!

​  

The slices of beef tongue on the baking sheet in the distance never stopped, and the only moment they stopped was when they replaced a new mountain of beef tongue! Look at the brand new Oxtongue Mountain, it’s super big and really amazing! !

​  

Watching the master's hands keep turning, it's super fragrant~

​  

finally come! ! ! It's actually pretty fast

Set C-Six pieces of beef tongue set Gyudon Teishoku C, six pieces (2700 yen)

The set menus are divided into four/five/six pieces, each of which comes with a bowl of oxtail soup, oatmeal rice and pickled side dishes. We were so excited that we decided to order the maximum six-piece set to share.

​  

The oxtail soup prepared by the clerk is very careful. It tastes very refreshing and sweet. There are a lot of shredded green onions and 1 to 2 pieces of bone-in oxtail meat added to the soup. The whole bowl is very good and delicious. I can totally feel the clerk's enthusiasm. Be careful (and very hot👍🏻)

Close-up of beef tongue, doesn’t it look delicious? !

The beef tongue here is in the shape of slices, which tastes different from other restaurants (ex: Lijiu beef tongue) cut into strips. It tastes like beef tongue with its unique chewy texture, and the doneness is about seven points, not too hard or too raw. And this one only has a simple seasoning with salt, so you can taste the aroma of the beef tongue itself, with a slight charcoal grilled aroma, which is very delicious~ But later we thought we could just order four slices to share, because this way we can Save some stomach to continue eating the beef tongue elsewhere, haha

​  

I also ordered the eel rice bowl うなぎ丼 (2900 yen)

It’s weird that a beef tongue shop sells eel🤔 but I decided to give it a try. The set meal also comes with a bowl of oxtail soup, oatmeal rice and pickled side dishes, and the side dish at the bottom of the picture is very special. It is a sweet crispy melon, but the taste is spicy plum sauce, which is quite strong. The eel is really big, and the proportion to the kabayaki sauce is just right. It tastes plump and juicy without being overcooked, and every bite has a faint aroma of wine at the end, which is very special. I like it very much, but there are many Be careful when eating small thorns.

The meal cost 5,600 yen for two people, which is about NT$1,350, which is very cheap considering the portion size! Highly recommend everyone to give it a try! And the eel rice is also worth trying.

When we left around 6:30, suddenly a lot of people were queuing up. After seeing people queuing up, I felt it was even more worthwhile XD
