the texture differs from the cut and thickness but i find the taste to be similar to tuna without the fishy aftertaste. if you’ve had raw beef, you’ll probably like raw horse! i also love the sauce it usually comes with, i am 100% a sauce girlie…

Why is it controversial?
Basashi is great (if you are not a vegetarian that is)
I would argue that Kusaya is a lot more controversial with its peculiar smell 🙂 Some people also do not like the thought of eating Shirako or HachinoKo .. which can be a little of a mental challenge at first.
It’s delicious. Not something I go out of my way to get but if it’s on the menu, I always consider it
What is the background on horse meat? Surely these horses are not raised for meat, correct?
I really don’t get why anyone thinks horse meat is delicious, I certainly don’t think so. It’s tough/chewy and not very flavorful at all. I will pass. Raw beef is 100x better.
I have had horse sashimi.
It was delicious.
Very lean.
I’d try it for sure. Looks good.
If you’re in Fukuoka, there’s a horse meat vending machine near Ohori Park
