The Japanese like to label and rank things. For example, there are "The Three Most Beautiful Spots in Japan." One of them is in Sendai. It is called Matsushima, which means "Pine Island(s)," and in this case, it is a bay filled with rugged piney islands. I can't agree that it is beautiful, though. Maybe a couple hundred years ago, yes. But not now when everything has been paved over and there are thousands of old people following their flag-waving tour guides.
Most places in Japan are famous for something. Sendai is famous for Cow Tongue. You can't walk ten steps without finding another restaurant that sells gyutan. So we had some for dinner, naturally. The place we went also served Ox Tails with your Cow Tongue. The tails were good, the tongue was not bad. And now I have eaten from one end of the cow to the other.
