When did Japanese start to eat beef meat in the modern age?
Till the end of Edo era, the custom of eating animal meat was strictly
forbidden under the government law and religious reason. After the regime
change from Tokugawa government to Meiji government, the new habit to eating
the animal meat spread in the islands of Japan coming from European countries.
The ox tongue was known as an ingredient for the western
food. Just after the end of World War II, the cooks in the Sendai had started
to serve the roast tongue at small restaurant. Sendai city is located in the
northern part of Honshu Island, three hundred km away from Tokyo.
The texture of the ox tongue were very popular in Japanese
who consider the texture in the importance. The tongue were including nicely
juicy gravy. These two fact give the ox tongue popular foods. In Japan, you
will find this ingredient in Yakiniku (BBQ) restaurants, Gyu tan restaurants or
some French restaurants.
Behind the counter, the cook will roast the sliced tongue on
the wire netting beyond the charcoal fire. You can choose the thickness of the
slice. They will serve the ox tongue with rice, clear beef soup and some
pickles.
I highly reccomend you to Japanese syle of roasted ox tongue when you would like to have some beef meat under 20 USD in Tokyo.
