More Strange Japanese Food




One of the things that Evan wanted to try while we were in Japan was Basashi. Raw horse. So a few weeks ago when we went to Matsumoto to see a funky black castle, were in a region who's specialty was Basashi, so we made the most of it and gave it a go. It was pretty expensive. About 10 dollars for the plate you can see in the picture.




Evan really liked it. It didn't taste much different from steak tartare, which is pretty much the same thing. I thought it was ok, but i'm too cheap, for half the price I had a massive plate of Tempura and Soba! so i guess we are trying some Japanese food that we are really enjoying, and finding some that we really don't care for.




Next on the list is going to be sea urchin I think (for Evan, not for me, obviously).
