Basashi in Kumamoto 熊本の馬刺



Kumamoto on the southern island of Kyushu is famous for its basashi, or hose meat sashimi. We had it for dinner at Shinji's uncle's home while visiting. It is served with a thick, somewhat sweet soy sauce and some grated ginger. For me the perfect drink to have with it is the local komejochu (rice shochu), which Kumamoto is famous for.
