Niku no Shojiro

Niku no Shojiro sells basashi (raw horse meat), a specialty of Aizu. Mail-order is also available, so you can order from anywhere in Japan.

The origins of Aizu basashi trace back to the professional wrestling hero Rikidozan.
After Rikidozan held a show in Aizuwakamatsu, he visited this shop. There, he dipped horse meat in a sauce he had brought with him and began eating it as sashimi.

Alongside the basashi, the sauce, which has been elaborately crafted since that time, is also a star of the dish.
The horse meat eaten with the shop's signature sauce is exceptional in flavor.
