Shichinohe Horse Meat Cuisine

In this town that once raised many famous horses, a food culture centered around tasting horse meat has taken root. Shichinohe Town is an ancient horse-breeding area, known as a producer of Thoroughbreds, and has even produced famous horses that won the Derby. The history of walking alongside horses, including the unique Nanbu Magariya, still remains in various parts of the town today. Because of this heritage, horse meat is an ingredient that has been carefully passed down and enjoyed locally. With low odor and a sweetness in the fat, horse meat can be thoroughly enjoyed in hot pots or as sashimi. In recent years, 'Horse Meat Ramen,' topped with horse meat instead of traditional chashu, has also gained popularity as a regional revitalization dish. This is a cuisine where you can encounter the deep flavors unique to the horse town of Shichinohe.
