The Ultimate Live Station: Made-to-Order “Beef Tongue Stew Omelet”
At the live egg station, the chef masterfully prepares customized egg dishes right before your eyes. The absolute crown jewel that you must order here is The Westin Sendai’s signature breakfast masterpiece: the “Beef Tongue Beef Stew Omelet.”
With brilliant pan technique, the chef creates an omelet that is beautifully formed on the outside and incredibly fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth soft on the inside. It is then generously layered with a rich, deeply flavorful, house-made beef stew.
Inside the savory stew are tender, succulent chunks of slow-cooked beef tongue that practically dissolve on your spoon. The creamy, gentle texture of the egg blends flawlessly with the robust complexity of the stew, making it a truly majestic start to your day. Be sure to experience this premium live-cooking luxury while it is piping hot!
A Feast of Sendai Delicacies: “Sasakama,” “Zunda Mochi,” and “Beef Tongue Tsukudani”
Miyagi’s most celebrated local specialties are beautifully showcased along the sleek buffet lineup, offering a true taste of the region from early morning.
The iconic “Sasakama” (leaf-shaped fish cake) is thick and wonderfully springy, releasing rich savory flavors with every bite. Another exceptional find is the “Beef Tongue Tsukudani”—tender chunks of beef tongue simmered in a sweet and savory soy-based glaze. It packs an incredible umami punch that pairs flawlessly with a hot bowl of Japanese rice.
For a sweet finish, the vibrant “Zunda Mochi” (sweet edamame rice cake) is an absolute must-try. The refreshing aroma of crushed edamame and its delicate, rustic sweetness make for a perfect dessert. Being able to effortlessly complete your Sendai food checklist right inside the hotel is a hallmark of premium Westin hospitality.
