Aizu Horse Sashimi (Basashi)
Take a bite of lean horse sashimi topped with a small dollop of spicy mustard miso. As the rich sweetness of the succulent meat spreads across your palate, the deep flavor of the miso and the sharp sting of chili pepper follow closely behind. Despite being a light, lean cut, it leaves a lingering deliciousness. In Aizu-Wakamatsu, eating horse sashimi with spicy mustard miso is the traditional way. This special sauce, infused with chili pepper, greatly enhances the umami of the lean meat. Horses in Aizu are small and muscular, making their specialty a light, lean red meat with minimal marbling. If you dissolve the spicy miso into a small amount of soy sauce, the sweetness of the lean meat becomes even more pronounced. A single bite of fine-textured red meat paired with sweet and spicy miso—this is an Aizu delicacy that pairs perfectly with sake.
