Gonohe Basashi (Horse Meat)
Gonohe Town, which has flourished since the Kamakura period as a production site for warhorses of the Nanbu Clan, is a town where one of Aomori's leading horse meat cultures is rooted. It is said that the place names from 'Ichinohe' to 'Kunohe' originate from the pastures where horses were once raised, and there was even an era when there were more horses than people. The cool climate with blowing Yamase winds is suitable for horse breeding, and amidst a lifestyle where horses were close at hand, horse meat consumption spread triggered by post-war food shortages. Known as 'Sakura Niku' (cherry blossom meat) due to its beautiful pink color, it is told that the reputation of Sakuranabe, which horse traders gathered around at hearthside fires during the feudal era, led to the birth of horse meat restaurants. The lean meat has a deep umami flavor, and the fat possesses an elegant sweetness. Please enjoy a dish unique to Gonohe, which is also great for beauty due to being low in calories and high in protein.
