I’m likely going to be crucified but this tasted pretty good…🐎🐎

1. Serge Nubret ate several pounds of this to prepare for Mr. Olympia. Hit those weights!

2. Had some, it was… fine.

   Pretty much the same as eating beef carpaccio which is something you could make at home easily.

   Next trip, I’d rather save my stomach space for something else.

3. did it taste like glue

4. Neigh

5. I’d try it!

6. Yep, had this and whale meat in Tokyo as well. Meh

7. Fish still makes the best sushi. Raw land animals are pretty mediocre. They just don’t have that natural flavor and need some heat to bring out the complexity.

8. Why is this nsfw? Waste of my 2-seconds.

9. I’ve had it where it was tasteless and squishy (Osaka and Awajishima), but I’ve also had it amazing with a raw egg cracked in it in Fukuoka, Japan.

10. I’ve had horse meat, but never on sushi… definitely have to try some someday

11. I’d try it, but I feel it’d be rather boring because raw beef is boring. I’m not opposed to eating horse.

12. Oooooo

13. It’s very hard to get raw horse meat to be tender

    It doesn’t have a strong taste but it’s stronger than beef and different in a subtle way

    I’ve had horse tartare with other stuff that made it fresher and wetter

    However having tried it I must say that I can definitely see why you liked it

    Instead of spring onion it would be really interesting to see it paired with a mango or apricot based sauce

14. Basashi (raw horse) is so underrated because people can’t get over the arbitrary stigma surrounding certain animals. It’s ok to like things that are objectively delicious. Just remember that the horse in Japan is raised for slaughter, so it’s far more tender and flavorful than horses that are ridden or worked often.

15. Had some in Tokyo as well

16. When in Rome (well probably Japan) but saying works.

17. I just went to Japan and tried horse sashimi and it was wonderful!
    Also had whale, wouldn’t recommend. The taste/thick rubbery texture made me want to throw up.

18. That is real deal nigiri. Love it.

19. First time I’ve ever imagined eating raw horse meat. What does it taste like?!

20. A lot of people forget that different cultures and countries eat meat differently I wouldn’t mind trying a horse but it’s against for me to eat Guinea pig since I owned some as pets too much but I do love raw beef I’ve had tartare, Yuk-hoe, and even made some beef with lemon juice and onions into a type of fish called Keluguen

21. Horses are the ultimate naysayers

22. Sakura niku! Only had it as sashimi in Yamanashi. Tastes like chewy tune imo.

23. Whoa never tried that before! I definitely would if I was in Tokyo. Probably wouldn’t trust it anywhere else.

24. Had this in Iceland. Delicious.

25. As a horse, fuck you.

26. Basashi is delicious. Haven’t had it on a sushi though but no way it could be bad.

27. How did it taste is my only question.

28. Cool! Post the dog sushi next !!

29. My friend J Remeinshcnieder eats horse all the time!

30. I had that twice in Japan! Once by accident, thought it was beef and thought it tasted odd.

    Then on purpose.

    I wouldn’t mind eating horse again, moral and ethical aversion aside

31. Never tried it and never will, but it’s interesting

32. I’m with the neighsayers.

33. WHAT!!???

34. I tried a variety of horse sashimi while in Okinawa. Really wasn’t bad…wouldn’t order it again, but definitely wasn’t bad.

35. Wait till you try kujira

36. That’s fucking disgusting. Horses are not meant for eating. Fucking backwards Asia. Dogs and Horses are NOT food, neither are monkeys.

37. Its weird that people pick and choose what animals are okay to eat … and im not talking about like dark meat, fish meat, i mean just … i love horses. But what makes cows more worth eating than them? Cows are adorable and sweet?? And pigs are hella intelligent?

38. Horse is basashi…. It’s a very common dish in Japan…

39. I will eat pretty much any animal except dogs and humans.

40. 😎

41. In Russia, they breed a horse just for eating. I’ve had that before in sausage form, never rawl like this.
