Rikyu Iwanuma is a popular spot to savor Sendai's famous charcoal-grilled beef tongue (gyutan). Located along Route 4 in Natori City, Miyagi Prefecture, it's easily accessible by car from Sendai Airport. Known for its thick-cut gyutan, Rikyu offers a satisfying and flavorful experience that sets it apart from other gyutan restaurants. Be prepared for potential queues, especially during peak hours. The set menus allow you to sample a variety of gyutan preparations, and the tender oxtail soup is a must-try. Consider visiting outside of peak lunch and dinner hours to avoid long waits.
