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.
