【No. 2196】Basashi (馬刺し - Horse Sashimi)

Basashi

A few days ago, I had basashi (馬刺し) in Nagano Prefecture.

Since ba (馬) means "horse," and sashi (刺し) means "sashimi (sliced raw meat)," basashi literally means "horse sashimi."

Have you ever had fresh 'basashi'?

Basashi is typically eaten with condiments like ginger and green onions to remove the distinctive smell and dipped in soy sauce, but fresh basashi does not have any bad smell.

In addition, while basashi is low in calories and fat, it is highly nutritious and delicious.

Fresh basashi can only be found in some prefectures such as Kumamoto, Fukushima, and Nagano. If you have a chance, please try to have it.
馬刺し

先日、長野県で「馬刺し」を食べました。

「馬」は "horse"、「刺し」は "sashimi" を意味するので、「馬刺し」は文字どおり "horse sashimi" という意味になります。

新鮮な馬刺しを食べたことはありますか?

馬刺しは臭みを消すために生姜やネギなどを薬味とし、醤油につけて食べることが一般的ですが、新鮮な馬刺しは臭みが全くありません。

また、低カロリーかつ低脂質であるのに、非常に高い栄養価を持っており、味も美味しいです。

新鮮な馬刺しは熊本県や福島県、長野県など、一部の県でしか食べることができませんが、機会があれば是非試してみてください。

Thank you for the corrections!
Wow, that's nice. :) Fresh basashi is quite expensive for me, but I'd like to have it again soon.
