#TroveOn Sendai's beef cow tongue a.k.a. gyutan/牛タン at Aobatei 青葉亭 #FoodieFinds

Tasty, charcoal meat that was not surprisingly chewy as I'd expect. It's like regular meat. I got the gyutan set menu that comes with salad and soup.

Located at S-pal building on the first floor. Spotted this restaurant while wandering around Sendai Station. 3.51 at tabelog though IJS. Legit.

When I was traveling around up north, I was collecting shinkansen badges because JR East had a promo to give away badges when you visit specific stations, Sendai Station is one of them. I had a JR Pass so I said, why not? The train ride took about three hours back and forth. Shinkansen took a lot of my time in Japan. I got there around afternoon already so I had to account the other three hours going back to Annaka at night. I just hang around Sendai Station and like any Japanese stations, wandered around looking at omiyage stuffs and found myself a restaurant that serves gyutan.
