Gyutan Restaurant Jinchu Sendai International Airport Branch

Gyutan Restaurant Jinchu Sendai International Airport Branch is a specialty beef tongue restaurant located on the 1st floor of Sendai Airport. With direct access from the airport, it’s a convenient place to stop for a meal before boarding or after arrival. A key draw is the chance to casually enjoy beef tongue grilled by skilled chefs after you order.

The signature dish is the “Whole Salt-Grilled Gyutan Set Meal,” with a choice of veal or adult beef tongue. Aged for 162 hours, the beef tongue is packed with umami and offers a pleasantly tender bite. Served with tail soup and five-grain rice, it makes for a satisfying meal. The “Gyutan Stewed in Red Wine,” known for its melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, and the easy-to-enjoy “Salt-Grilled Gyutan Rice Bowl Set” are also popular. There is also the unusual “Teppanyaki Wild Boar,” making for a varied menu.

Inside, the restaurant has a 16-seat counter, creating an atmosphere where even solo diners can stop by with ease. There is also a wide selection of takeout bento boxes, so you can enjoy authentic flavors on the plane. In addition, the shop carries many items that make great souvenirs, including “Gyutan Sendai Chili Oil.”
