You can choose from 4 slices to 4 slices to 8 slices. "Gokuatsu Shin-tan® Teishoku" and "Shin-tan® Teishoku" are the best menu in the store. It is thick and responsive, and the crisp texture unique to the beef tongue and the juicy flavor spread in the mouth are just perfect.

With 100 stores nationwide and a high profile, "Gyutan Sumiyaki Rikyu" is the "Gyuitan Kiwami Teishoku" menu of this restaurant, which can eat more than 1.5 million meals a year at stores nationwide.

Thick-cut Gyutan, which is hand-sliced one by one and prepared with hand-made salt. It is offered in a good balance from a place close to red meat to a marbled part with fat, so the strength is to enjoy a whole Gyutan.

It is not foreign to be used in the tail soup, but the specialty of domestic beef. The soup, which is made by taking the broth from the place where the beef bone tail is stewed, is combined with the taste of the Gyutan, which has lingering in the mouth, and the richness is doubled...!

Staples, main dishes, soups, incense, and original Japanese sweets are also set, and the set meal with a total balance is considered.You can enjoy the changes in flavor without getting tired of it, and the satisfaction from one meal is outstanding.

One dish of Gyutan to choose from shio, sauce, and miso [Aji no Gyutan Kisuke]

The charm of the long-established "Aji no Gyutan Kisuke", founded in 1975, is that the beef tan is made by a veteran craftsman who cut it one by one, and then season it with hand gestures with roasted salt of Ako, etc., and then matured the umami carefully. Although it is full of volume, it is a Gyutan that has a rich taste and a crisp softness.

The best recommend menu is a "special set". The feature is that you can choose from three types of shio, tare, and miso. "Tare", which is particularly rare in a Gyutan set meal, uses wine and miso for hidden taste, and sweet sauce gives you an appetite. It is the most popular set-up meal with plenty of volume, with side menu, Gyutan sausage, and Gyutan stew.

The easy-to-eat, sliced Gyutan is juicy as crispy. You can enjoy the change of taste by adding a shichimi if you like it or by brurning it with nanban miso.

You can take home three different flavors of souvenirs. I can't find them with Gyutan souvenirs, but a small pack. I want to give them out to people who want to have fun little by little, or to various people!

1 dish is perfect for the volume. In addition, it is useful for tourists at a conscientious price, as well as ordinary lunches.
In the lunch box, a luxurious Toku-giri Atsu-yaki bento(3 pieces, 6 cuts) 3300 yen is popular. It is a recommended shop especially for those who are worried about the unusual Tare taste♪

Salt-grilled salt! Grilled salt preparation with strong taste [Tanya Zenjiro]

The only taste offered in "Tanya Zenjiro" is a specialty of salt-grilled. It uses ground-ground salt, and the preparation is all hand-made. The mellow flavor is created by penetrating and familiar with the Gyutan.

The part used in the "Shinchu-tan/Zenjiro Teishoku" of the best recommend menu is a rare part that can only be obtained from a single Gyutan. One piece cut by the craftsman is characterized by the thickness, and it is full of eating! The soft, easy-to-chew texture is impressive, along with the crisp texture that is baked at once using high heat.

In addition, the set meal is a set of salty tsukune, sausage with coarsely ground black pepper, and boiled tongue. You can enjoy volumie and luxury Gyutan in a variety of ways.

Shinchu-tan is still recommended for souvenirs. There are 6 pieces for 1-2 servings with the most soft part of the Gyutan. There is also 3450 yen for fresh lunch.

Shinchu-tan of Tanya Zenjiro, which has a full thickness and salty taste. It is full of volume in appearance, and it is a perfect set meal to eat up the Gyutan. There is also a rich side menu using Gyutan, so I want to taste it with sake.

A proud charcoal grill that artisans bake in front of you [Gyutan Yakisuke Sendaieki Gyutan-doriten]

“Yakisuke”, which has 4 stores in Sendai City, is the first to open a store at Sendai Station in the 2020 Gyutan-dori renewal. Inside the store is only at the counter seats, you can enjoy the artisan baking from any seat in front of you, full of live!

The recommendation is to use only soft and greasy parts and lay down firmly and aged. Valuable parts that can only be supplied from one Gyutan to one serving are cut out in a luxurious thick manner with the connoisseur of a craftsman. It is common to eat with wasabi, and the refreshing taste is the accent.

It was originally a yakitori restaurant, so it is very particular about charcoal grilling. It is baked fragrant using Bichō charcoal, and the taste of the meat overflows juiciously.

Also check out because the lunch menu is great! Between 11:00 and 14:30, a "Gyutan Teishokul" will be served at a lunch price of 1950 yen (4 cuts), with a mini salad limited to lunch. Gyutan bento 4 cuts 1950 yen (with tail soup) is also easy to take out♪

The turnover rate is also good, so it is a useful shop for people who can't take much time due to the departure time of the Shinkansen or the sightseeing schedule ....!

■ A long-established established in 1968 Stake house [Gyutan to Sendai-Gyu Iseya]

"Gyutan to Sendai-gyu Iseya" was newly added in the renewal of Ushitan Street in 2020. This is a long-established steak specialty store, and the biggest feature is that you can taste not only Gyutan but also Sendai beef. Confidence and commitment to beef is strong, this time by all means "Sendai-gyu Stake-don" of the best recommend menu! So I covered it.

Among the many branded cows, Sendai beef can only name its highest A5 rank. Baked to medium-rare, I put a light on the surface by applying hot sauce. The secret sauce is soy sauce-based, and together with the taste of Sendai beef, the rice is likely to be able to go for many cups...!

Fried onions are used under the meat, and the rice is the Miyagi prefecture. The grilled vegetables are also fragrant, and the rice bowl is full of satisfaction. You can also taste it as a Sendai-gyu stake bento (2000 yen) at the takeout♪

If you want to eat both Gyutan and Sendaibeef, "Sendai Marugoto Zen" is recommended. It is a dream-like meal that can be tasted with Gyutan-yaki, Sendai beef mini-stake, and tail soup.

For souvenirs, "Sendai-gyu Miso-duke stake" prepared with Sendai miso is popular. It is about 2 servings for 140g and has 280g6264 yen. The package that collaborated with Sendai's hospitality group "Date Bushotai" also has a local feeling.

This shop is located at the very back of Gyutan-dori, and has a spacious store and a calm atmosphere. There is also a set meal where you can enjoy both Gyutan and Sendai beef, so it is recommended for those who want to eat both!
