Cow got your tongue?

by Aiken Parker

Gyūtan, or "cow tongue" (That's right, "cow tongue") is the first dish I'm covering that I've actually had the pleasure of trying. Understandably those of whom I was eating it with found it quite off-putting; I rather, enjoyed the chewy texture and strong beefy taste.

This delicacy originated in Japan and more specifically within the city of Sendai. I had it served on a skewer but having it atop a bowl of rice is also common. In 2003, gyūtan restaurants faced a devastating crisis as beef imports from the U.S (90% reliant) were temporarily banned as a result of a mad cow disease outbreak.
