horse meat
Horsemeat is a local specialty in Kumomoto. You can have it in different ways. We tried it deep fried “katsu” style ( refer to other post ), and had it raw ( sashimi ) as in this picture. Raw was better. It melts in your mouth. Tastes like beef.
Sometimes when you focus on the fact that it’s horse, you gag a little, but when you let go of that and just eat it, it’s tasty.
The glass is sake, not water. It's served chilled. I know alot of people know that Japan is expensive, so just to satisfy your curiosity, this plate of sashimi and the sake costs about $25 CAD.
