Difficult for tourist to find your dinner, on Chaotic and typical Japanese street
This restaurant is located along the busy and chaotic, long street
in the Yaesu side of Tokyo main station. Hotel Ryumeikan was located near this
street. This area was very convenient for both business persons and tourists. For Business persons, Marunochi area is opposite side on Tokyo station. For tourists, you can get great access to Tokyo main station where you can go somewhere in Japan or Tokyo with your Japan rail pass.
I found the foreign tourists were walking along the street but they already lost
themselves due to jetlag and parallel universe of Baymax. The foreigner seemed
to have never been able to identify what restaurant was or what food was going
to be served there. They were just walking around this area with missed
identity. There were also Japanese business men and the staff from the bars or
restaurants. The business persons had already been drunk a little bit and
looked for the next bars or pubs (Izakaya). The staffs from the pubs (Izakaya)
or Karaoke centre were touting the customers. The nervous foreigner, good mood
business persons, noisy staff from Izakaya and neon-lit of the izakaya or
Karaoke centre shows chaotic scene of Tokyo. The similar situation will be
shown in several busy area as Shinjuku, Ikebukuro or Shibuya.

Fast, good price and hot meal for dinner, with Japanese style
The Ara, gyutan restaurant, is very reasonable and useful
for the tourists. The atmosphere is like as the fast food restaurant around business area but the interior is also old style of set-menu restaurants (called as Teishoku-ya 定食屋). They will serve the Sendai style gyutan in this restaurant. Though I
had no idea about if there is English menu in this restaurant, they may have some English menu card. The area around Tokyo station is one of the most popular spot for the foreign tourists.
Overview of Gyutan set
Traditionally, the gyutan set in Sendai was served the main plate for the several styles of beef tongue (Gyutan), pickled vegetable, ox tail soup and bowl of barley and rice. Almost all restaurants specialized into the gyutan may have this type of sets on their menu.
Roasted Gyutan
The beef tongue was roasted or grilled. The meat was cut with thick. A piece
of meat was including rich beef juice and butter like flavour. The texture, the
most important parts of this dish, is nicely chewy and lovely.
Ox tail soup
barlay and rice
This set was served as the traditional Teishoku (定食 including rice, soup, main dish, and pickles) style.
The restaurants which served the gyutan (beef tongue) were
located anywhere around Tokyo. The thickness of sliced beef tongue is including
chewy texture and red meat juice. Sendai has more legend and famous restaurants
around in the city centre. If you have the plan to visit to Sendai with Tohoku
Shinkansen (high speed railway, Tohoku line), it will take just for two hour and half, please enjoy the gyutan at
Sendai.
