Gyutan (牛タン) is a popular Japanese dish that originated in Sendai, the capital city of Miyagi Prefecture in northeastern Japan. The dish is made from beef tongue, which is sliced and grilled over charcoal until it is tender and juicy.
Gyutan is a local specialty of Sendai, and there are many restaurants in the city that specialize in the dish. The tongue is usually seasoned with salt or a soy sauce-based marinade, and served with a variety of side dishes, such as rice, miso soup, and pickles.
The dish is known for its rich flavor and tender texture, and has become popular not only in Sendai but throughout Japan.
Many gyutan restaurants in Sendai offer different variations of the dish, such as “beef tongue sashimi,” in which beef tongue is cooked at a low temperature, and gyutan yakiniku, where the beef tongue is grilled on a tabletop barbecue grill.
