A New Way to Enjoy Beef Tongue — in the Form of Shumai

Beef tongue is usually something people expect to enjoy grilled.
At BEROMARU, we wanted to step away from that expectation and offer a gentler, more direct way to appreciate its flavor.
That idea led to the creation of our Signature Beef Tongue Shumai.

By steaming it, we bring out the distinctive umami and satisfying texture of beef tongue in a new way.
The first bite is soft and delicate, yet the flavor grows richer the more you chew.
It has become one of BEROMARU’s best-loved specialties.

Japan Food Selection
Grand Prix Winner: Signature Beef Tongue Shumai

Recognized for its umami, texture, originality, and the gentle appeal of steaming

BEROMARU’s Signature Beef Tongue Shumai received the Grand Prix at the Japan Food Selection.

It was praised for the honest flavor of beef tongue and onion, the originality of combining beef tongue with shumai, the juicy and satisfying bite, its simple and health-conscious style, and the restaurant concept of making seiro-steamed dishes easy to enjoy.

Why It Became Our Signature

BEROMARU’s Beef Tongue Shumai is more than simply an unusual kind of shumai. At its center is premium Japanese beef tongue. By using a coarse grind, we preserve the distinctive umami and texture of beef tongue while still achieving the tenderness expected from shumai.

The first impression is soft and fluffy. Then, as you continue to chew, the rich flavor of beef tongue gradually unfolds. That memorable balance is exactly why it continues to be chosen as BEROMARU’s signature dish.

What Makes Our Beef Tongue Shumai Special

Enjoying the Natural Umami of the Ingredients

The deliciousness of our Beef Tongue Shumai begins with the strength of the ingredient itself. At BEROMARU, we carefully select beef tongue with close attention to freshness and quality, and prepare it in a way that allows its natural umami to come through clearly.

Rather than relying on unnecessary embellishment, we believe in presenting the ingredient honestly. That philosophy shapes both the first impression of each bite and the lingering finish after the meal.

The Distinctive Texture Created by a Coarse Grind

Our Beef Tongue Shumai is not designed to be simply smooth and uniform. By coarsely grinding the beef tongue, we keep a gentle bite within the softness, creating a more satisfying texture in every mouthful.

The contrast is what makes this shumai unique: a light, delicate softness that almost melts away, paired with the unmistakable presence of beef tongue each time you chew.

Choosing to Steam, Not Grill

At BEROMARU, steaming is central to who we are. Our Beef Tongue Shumai is carefully steamed in a bamboo basket so that the natural umami of the ingredients is brought out gently and fully.

Steaming creates a soft, fluffy texture and an elegant finish that never feels heavy. The flavor of beef tongue spreads cleanly across the palate, giving this dish the quiet refinement that defines BEROMARU. 

The Heart Behind BEROMARU’s Signature Beef Tongue Shumai

A Single Bite That Feels Like BEROMARU

Our Signature Beef Tongue Shumai brings together everything BEROMARU aims to express: respect for the ingredient, the gentle depth created by steaming, and a flavor that stays in your memory long after the meal.

It is not designed to be flashy. Instead, it leaves a lasting impression through genuine deliciousness. That steady philosophy is why so many guests continue to choose it, and why it is the first dish we recommend to anyone visiting BEROMARU for the first time.

A New Food Culture from Osaka

BEROMARU was created with the desire to share a new food culture from Osaka, and our Beef Tongue Shumai is the clearest expression of that idea.

By pairing the familiar form of shumai with the distinctive character of beef tongue, then finishing it with BEROMARU’s signature steaming technique, we create something both approachable and entirely new. This dish embodies our challenge, our craft, and our commitment to offering flavors people will want to come back for.

The fact that it enjoys a repeat-order rate of over 90% is proof of how strongly this flavor stays with our guests.

Enjoy Our Signature Flavor at Home as Well

Our Signature Beef Tongue Shumai can also be enjoyed as takeout. Whether for a meal at home or as a thoughtful gift, it offers an easy way to bring the taste of BEROMARU closer to everyday life.

Enjoy the same gentle texture and expanding umami of beef tongue that make it so memorable in the restaurant.
