90%

Last year, my friend Junko, sent me a care package filled with all of her favorite foods. (Thank you!)

One item was this ra-yu (chili oil).

It is called Sendai ra-yu and 90% of the "gu" (ingredients) is Sendai gyu-tan (beef tongue).

This particular ra-yu wasn't spicy, though there is a spicy version, it was so good on omelettes and stir fried veggies. 

The beef tongue seemed to be simmered until tender in a sweet salty sauce. Then packed into the bottle and filled with chili oil.

I will keep an eye out for it and hope to purchase more from the Miyagi Antenna Shop in Tokyo.

    wow! I would love to try cooking somthing like this but from what I've read, recipes call for thinly sliced beef tongue. I've only seen them sold whole over here and I know it would be difficult to slice them myself.

    Glad you like to try so many different things. I love rayu but would have balked at this beef tongue version.

    BTW, that shiofuki somen has become my regular dish with this hot, muggy weather.
