Japanese bar food – Megan Gouw

I went out for some drinks with my friends, and in Japan it is customary to eat while drinking. One of the popular dishes to eat while drinking is 馬刺 (Basashi), or raw horse meat. Coming from Scotland where we don’t normally eat horse meat, let alone raw meat, this seems strange. So naturally I had to try it. And it was delicious, I can understand why it is popular here. It was a little like a high quality rare steak. So, if you can put your prejudices against it aside, I would really recommend trying it at least once.

友達と、馬刺が人気な居酒屋に行きました。スコットランドで馬肉は食べないので、馬刺はちょっと変だと思われています。しかし、食べてみたら、すっごく美味しかったです。だから、日本に来るなら、おすすめです。
