The Gransta Yaesu branch of Sendai's legendary Rikyu gyutan chain, tucked in the basement food hall directly beneath Tokyo Station. The interior is sleek and efficient — polished wood counters and soft lighting — built for a steady stream of travelers and commuters who know exactly what they're here for: thick-cut, charcoal-grilled beef tongue. The house set arrives with mugi-meshi (barley rice), oxtail soup, and pickled vegetables, a combination that has barely changed since Rikyu opened in Sendai decades ago. Quality is consistent and the queue moves fast.
