Speaking of Sendai, beef tongue is a must ! Whenever I visit Sendai, I always eat beef tongue at Tanya Zenjirou (たんや善治郎) without fail. Normally, I dine in the restaurant, but this time I decided to buy a bento box before leaving. While their bento boxes are available at souvenir shops in Sendai Station, freshly cooked beef tongue served in the restaurant is far superior! However, I had to wait about an hour because many GLAY fans (myself included) gathered there after the live show.
Their bento boxes are available without reservation, but some items require pre-ordering.
I ordered my bento and paid at the restaurant, then returned about an hour later to pick it up. While waiting, I browsed the souvenir shops in the station. Naturally, I enjoyed the bento on the Shinkansen back to Tokyo. It was still warm, and it came with a hand towel, chopsticks, and a packet of shichimi pepper.
I chose a bento box with eight slices of beef tongue because I wanted to enjoy a generous portion. It cost 1,720 yen. The quality was just as excellent as in the restaurant—tender and easy to bite. The beef tongue was seasoned with salt, perfectly complementing the rice.
Ah, I’ll definitely get a bento box from Zenjirou again next time.
