Jinchu Beef Tongue Sendai Rayu
90% of the toppings are beef tongue! A very Sendai-style “rayu you can eat.”
A popular product from Jinchu, a Miyagi Prefecture beef tongue specialty shop known for running restaurants and producing and selling processed foods. This luxurious “rayu you can eat” is made with 90% beef tongue.
Sendai Rayu, made with diced beef tongue and Jinchu’s original seasoned oil, is mildly spicy and easy for anyone to enjoy. The hearty bite of generously cut beef tongue and the crunchy texture of fried garlic and fried onion are a perfect match—just spoon it over steaming white rice and you won’t be able to stop eating. It also pairs wonderfully with all kinds of dishes and ingredients like chilled tofu, noodles, and bread, and once you try it, you’ll definitely want to keep it stocked.
Made with Sendai’s famous beef tongue, it’s also shelf-stable at room temperature and keeps for a long time, making it perfect as a souvenir. Another plus: you can pick it up at major travel hubs you’ll likely use while sightseeing in Sendai, including JR Sendai Station, Sendai Airport, and SA/PA rest stops on the Tohoku Expressway.
