Sendai Gyutan to Nikuzushi Kanzen Koshitsu Izakaya Masamune Tamachi-ten

One of the pleasures of an izakaya centred on beef tongue is the chance to compare how different cooking methods bring out the qualities of the same ingredient. At 仙台牛タンと肉寿司 完全個室居酒屋 政宗 田町店, the menu includes beef tongue seared until fragrant, shabu-shabu served in a light broth, and dishes such as beef tongue sashimi and carpaccio. There is also beef tongue simmered slowly until tender, as well as crisp-fried beef tongue. The range makes it easy to choose a dish to suit your mood or what you feel like drinking.

For a gathering or group meal, a set course built around beef tongue is another option. The Dokkuryū Course, for example, includes all-you-can-drink service and moves from seared beef tongue sushi and thick-cut charcoal-grilled beef tongue to the restaurant’s signature beef tongue shabu-shabu, finishing with ramen in beef tongue broth. The menu also has familiar izakaya small plates, including a five-kind sashimi platter, yakitori and several types of oden, making it easy to add dishes to suit different tastes.

Drinks range from a well-chilled medium mug of The Premium Malt’s and a Kakubin highball to whiskies such as Hakushu, Yamazaki and Chita, alongside a variety of fruit sours. The restaurant has private rooms and opens daily from 3 pm, making it an option for an early-evening gathering in a more relaxed setting.
