It's been a while since I had lunch with my daughter. We ordered the beef tongue set meal and the premium beef tongue set meal. The premium one had thick slices of meat with a satisfying texture. The regular one had very tender and delicious meat. Even the regular portion of rice in the bowl was plentiful and filling. The dessert, Date-cha cream daifuku, had a mild sweetness which was a perfect palate cleanser!

I went to eat with my friend! We were originally planning to go to my favorite hamburger shop, but unexpectedly it was sold out, so we ended up coming here after a long time! When comparing the portion size and price, it's not exactly cheap, but the soup and tongue are consistently delicious so it's okay! I think it's fine to go for the large serving of rice too! Next time, let's try to eat 6 pieces each~~~

It is well known that this restaurant is the birthplace of Sendai beef tongue. I recommend ordering the "ultimate" without hesitation here! You are sure to be captivated by its deliciousness. Our family's favorite, the now-closed Liku San Paseo store near TBC in Akasaka, was a place we frequented. We found ourselves at Akasaka without realizing it. However, unfortunately, while the Kawasaki LaLaport and Akasaka stores had sashimi, it was not on the menu at the Akasaka Terra store. Despite this, it was a bit frustrating that the lineup of Japanese sake was extensive. On this day, during the Obon period, the all-you-can-drink menu was not available, but there was a sign outside the restaurant as shown in the photo. I thought, "Isn't that a bit misleading?" However, I liked the "Otokomae Highball" with a strong flavor, so I didn't complain and returned home happily.

It's been a while since I had beef tongue, and I couldn't decide what to order. I wanted to try the grilled beef tongue as well as the beef tongue curry. In the end, I got both types of beef tongue, beef tongue curry, rice, and oxtail soup. I also ordered a dessert set. The beef tongue was thick but tender, the oxtail soup was generous, and the curry was filling. Maybe I should have just ordered the beef tongue set instead of being greedy? Overall, I am satisfied.

After a long time, I went to Gyutan Rikyu. I used to go there occasionally when it was in Parco, so it was a nostalgic taste. I entered around 6 pm and looked at the menu. I ordered a set with gyutan (beef tongue) and imoni (taro stew). I chose the miso flavor for the gyutan, and the soy sauce flavor for the imoni. The gyutan was tender and delicious. It might have been my first time trying imoni, but the taro chunks were really tasty. I visited in July 2023.

It's been about 5 years since I last visited Rikyu and this time I tried the 90-minute all-you-can-drink option. They serve mentaiko potato salad as a complimentary appetizer. We started with a toast with beer, then ordered the beef tongue comparison set. It was delicious so we ordered it again. Next, I recommend the beef tongue tsukune - it's huge, meaty, and you can't even cut it with chopsticks! Dip it in egg yolk and enjoy. I ate a lot of meat and I'm satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

On a certain holiday, lunch was at this place, "Gyutan Charcoal Grill Tasty Red Brick Terrace". We visited after an event at the Red Brick Terrace. It was our first time at this restaurant. We entered at 11:35 am and there were 4 groups of 8 customers already seated, and 2 groups of 6 customers waiting. There was 1 man and 1 woman on the floor, and we couldn't see the kitchen. Today's order was: - Gyutan "Extreme" Grilled Set (3 pieces, 6 slices) for 3,333 yen - Draft beer The food arrived after about 10 minutes of waiting. Now, let's try the gyutan. The texture was not great, a bit chewy and rubbery... I had a bad feeling. I remember having thicker and tender gyutan at Paseo 4-5 years ago. I don't think I'll be coming back voluntarily. Thank you for the meal.

I happened to pass by the shop and since I still had room in my stomach, I decided to go in. The shop was quite spacious, and I was seated at the counter at the back where I could see outside. The staff informed me that their specialty, beef tongue, was sold out. Disappointing... I checked the menu and there were various options, but I decided to go with the beef tongue. I ordered a plate of 3 pieces of 6-cut salted beef tongue and a craft beer, Spencer (South IPA). The order came quickly. The beer was to my liking and the beef tongue was delicious as always. It was a fun afternoon drink!

I used a LOVE discount coupon I received on the Teinebasu tour. Since I had to use it on the day of the tour, I carried my snowboard all the way to Akarenga Terrace after arriving at my MyStays hotel. I wanted to send the snowboard by delivery, so I asked Siri where the nearest Yamato office was, and it turned out to be quite a difficult distance to walk. My shoulders turned red from carrying the board. My daughter and I got rid of our luggage, but my son's snowboard was still left. We decided to use the 6000 yen coupon for dinner. We tried to go from the Yamato office to Sapporo Station, but my shoulders reached their limit, so we decided to go to Akarenga Terrace, which was closer (even though it would be farther on the way back). We tried to use the coupon at a food court, but it didn't seem possible. So we entered this restaurant, which seemed to be a charcoal-grilled beef tongue restaurant originating from Sendai. The three of us, tired from snowboarding and walking, silently looked through the menu and tried to stay within the 6000 yen budget. My child is quite frugal in places like this (laughs). The photo shows what we ordered!!! The beef tongue set meal seemed like a safe choice, but it felt a bit lonely with only two slices of meat. The matcha daifuku served at the beginning was frozen and meant to be eaten at the right time after the meal. It came with various side dishes, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy, and the oxtail soup was delicious, but the oxtail meat in the soup had a unique smell. The total came to 5654 yen (the electronic coupon can be paid in units of 1 yen). Thank you for the meal. The remaining 346 yen was used at the Gong Cha on the first floor of Akarenga Terrace, where my daughter ordered a student discount black milk tea. We were able to use the coupon neatly. *Thank you for holding my son's large luggage next to the register.

I had beef tongue. I felt like going to Sendai. Thank you for the meal. I enjoyed thickly sliced beef tongue with Nanban miso. And I savored the barley rice. This blissful moment is happiness. It's tender yet has a good chew, and I didn't get tired of it thanks to the tasty stew on the side. Thank you for the meal.

Sometimes I crave for Liku. I went in the evening, but the booth seats were already taken. It must be popular... I added extra fried tofu this time! It's also delicious, right? I felt like having a drink, but I resisted. As for the beef tongue, it's definitely tastier when cooked by the professionals...

Visited with my family. I didn't need rice, so I had the beef tongue stew with bread, which was enough for me. My family ordered the beef tongue set meal, but it seemed quite expensive. I think it was around 1800 yen for 2 slices of 4 pieces each. The presentation was also lacking. I might go to a certain restaurant on the main street instead. The taste was good though. Thank you for the meal.

☆First Visit on 2022.10.23☆ After finishing my morning errands, I decided to have lunch here to lift my spirits before the main event in the afternoon! Since I'm alone, I was seated at a table for two. I had a travel support coupon, so I decided to treat myself a bit. I ordered the customizable Tan-no-U定食 set meal and a draft beer. I chose the grilled beef tongue, beef tongue stew, and beef tongue sausage. It also came with oxtail soup and barley rice. It was still early, but the restaurant was quite busy. The beer arrived first, and it tasted especially good drinking it during the daytime. The food arrived in about 10 minutes. It was a lovely set. I started with the beef tongue, and it was delicious! It paired perfectly with the beer. I've only had thinly sliced beef tongue at yakiniku restaurants since I've never been to Sendai, so this thicker cut was tender with just the right amount of chewiness and packed with flavor. It wasn't as hot as freshly grilled meat, but that's to be expected. I also enjoyed the beef tongue sausage. And then, I tasted the barley rice and the oxtail soup!!! The oxtail soup was amazing!!! It was piping hot with a nice touch of green onions! I'm not sure why barley rice was included, but I guess there's a reason for it. I personally prefer regular white rice (laughs). I also tried the beef tongue stew, and it was also delicious. The beef tongue was tender and flavorful, and the sauce had a rich taste. The set even came with dessert, a matcha cream daifuku. Quite a satisfying meal. However, if I didn't have the coupon, I probably wouldn't revisit. It was good enough, but for this price, there are plenty of other places I'd rather go. Nonetheless, I was very satisfied this time. Now, let's do our best in the afternoon! Thank you for the meal!!!

Sometimes I crave beef tongue and I go to Rikyu. It's delicious as always. This time, I also ordered the fried tofu from Teizan, which was also delicious. It makes me want to go to Sendai again... I was thinking how delicious it would be to have beef tongue while drinking!

I went to Rikyu to eat beef tongue. I was guided to a counter seat at the back where I could see the fresh greenery and had a good view. Since I was alone, maybe they were considerate, I had a beef tongue set meal with a little less barley rice, with the classic salt seasoning, and chose 4 slices of 8-cut beef tongue. The beef tongue had a good texture and a rich flavor. Thank you for the meal! (*´∇｀*)

This is a restaurant where you can enjoy Sendai's famous beef tongue. It is located in Akarenga Terrace, close to JR Sapporo Station and the Hokkaido Government Red Brick Building. On this day, I was treated to a set meal that included beef tongue and oxtail soup. I usually only have homemade bento for lunch, so I was delighted to have a luxurious lunch that was different from usual. The conversation with someone I hadn't seen in a long time was also very lively and enjoyable!

While running errands in the city, I decided to have lunch at Liku with my husband. He hadn't eaten there in a while, so we decided to try the Gokumori set this time. I had been there for lunch by myself last year and wasn't too impressed, but this time the texture of the meat was nice and easy to eat compared to the sagari and regular beef tongue I had before. However, my husband, who hadn't been there in a few years, said, "Has the taste changed?" Maybe it was the difference in the location or the quality has changed? Well, things do change over the years. Overall, it was a good meal!

One of the famous places to enjoy beef tongue as a treat. Although it is usually expensive, it is worth splurging on. Located in the Red Brick Warehouse, it is easily accessible and the cleanliness of the restaurant is outstanding. Of course, the taste is delicious. If you want thick beef tongue, Rikyu is definitely top-notch. The Beef Tongue Supreme Set (3 slices, 6 cuts) costs 2,904 yen.

The specialty beef tongue restaurant Rikyu left a strong impression at the Sapporo Paseo location, but I didn't realize they also had a branch at Akarenga Terrace! So this time, I tried their beef tongue here. There wasn't much difference from the Paseo location, and I ordered the beef tongue comparison dish. It was nice to be able to enjoy two different flavors of beef tongue. The meat was thick and satisfying to eat. Beef tongue tastes better with this thickness. The atmosphere here at Akarenga Terrace seems to have a sense of luxury compared to the Paseo location... or maybe it's just me?

It's been a while since I had beef tongue, and this time I visited the Sapporo branch of Rikyu. It was my first time at this restaurant. I got a seat at the counter in front of the grill and ordered a beer while waiting for the beef tongue to cook. I ordered the "Extreme" option, even though I wasn't very hungry, so I chose 4 pieces of 8 cuts. I kind of regret not ordering just the beef tongue without rice since I was planning to have beer later. The beef tongue had a crispy texture when chewed, but was juicy and tender inside, as expected from Rikyu. However, I still feel that the Rikyu beef tongue I had in Sendai tasted better. I wonder why that is? (This is just my personal opinion)
