Inawashiro [Okubo Shoten, specializing in horse sashimi
On the way back from Kitakata, we decided to go around Lake Inawashiro, so we stopped by Hideyo Noguchi Memorial Museum and went to a nearby horse sashimi restaurant.
Since I usually enjoy delicious horse meat at the Roast Horse in Hiroo, I ordered the "Sakura Sakudon," which is made with rump horse meat, without much expectation.
Apparently, in Aizu, they serve it with soy sauce mixed with garlic and spicy miso. This soy sauce is not sweet, but rather crisp and spicy.
The horse sashimi that was brought to us was fresh and had no smell at all. The spicy soy sauce and garlic spicy miso go very well together.
Another recommended way of eating horse sashimi is with sake-salt. I was told that the salt is made from sakekasu (sake lees), and indeed, when you put it in your mouth, the fresh flavor of sakekasu spreads out a little later. It goes perfectly with the horse meat.
In the end, I finished off quite a lot of horse sashimi in no time at all.
Aizu horse sashimi is also delicious. If there was a restaurant of this quality in my neighborhood, I might want to go there every month.
Thank you for the food.
