I wanted to go again and my child said they wanted to go too, so this was our third visit this year! A specialty shop for fresh horse meat directly delivered from Kumamoto Prefecture. Just a 1-minute walk from Tobu Asakusa Station and about a 5-minute walk from Asakusa Station on the Toei Subway Asakusa Line, it's in a great location. They have spacious tatami and table seating, as well as a counter with Kumamon welcoming you. We ordered the "Special Masashi Assortment" which includes various cuts of horse meat. We enjoyed three different cuts of meat, and the marbled one was so good we had seconds! This time, we also tried horse liver sashimi and tongue sashimi. The horse liver sashimi is chewier than beef liver. The assortment of horse tartare includes yukke, salt koji, and saikyo miso, which you can dip in egg yolk. The udon with tender horse tendon cooked in Kyushu dashi was incredibly delicious. They have a wide variety of drinks, and after three visits, we've conquered all the fruit liqueurs! For dessert, we had warabi mochi and the homemade "Divine Rich Pudding." The pudding made with divine eggs is rich, and the caramel sauce on the side adds a perfect touch of bitterness. The window seats offer a slight view of the Skytree and Sumida River. Everything we ordered was delicious, and with new Kyushu dishes added to the menu, I can't recommend this place enough!

Located in a building near the station, just a 2-minute walk from Asakusa Station, this restaurant offers delicious horse sashimi at a fairly reasonable price. Despite feeling a bit uneasy in the small building near the station, it is a good place for all-you-can-drink alcohol with good value for money. It may be difficult to take photos once you start drinking. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Masashi, a horse meat restaurant in Asakusa! This place offers delicious horse meat and exquisite Kyushu cuisine. The horse sashimi, directly delivered from Kumamoto, is fresh and has a mild flavor. The window seats provide a beautiful view of Asakusa's night scenery and the Skytree. I recommend this restaurant to those who love horse meat and Kyushu cuisine! - Special Masashi Assortment We had a luxurious assortment of horse sashimi, including loin, top loin, premium loin, mane, two-layered belly, lean meat sashimi, fillet tataki, harami tataki, and thinly sliced marbled meat. Each part has a unique taste, making it a must-try for horse meat lovers. - Tongue Sashimi & Heart Sashimi We enjoyed a combination of fresh horse sashimi directly delivered from Kumamoto. It's a dish that allows you to directly experience the deliciousness of horse meat. It paired perfectly with the special sauce! - Special Sakura Yukke We tried the recommended dish by the manager, Sakura Yukke. It's a yukke made with horse meat, so it has a rich and delicious flavor compared to regular yukke. - Hakata One-Bite Gyoza We had cute one-bite gyoza served in a small iron skillet. The seasoning was authentic, and the crispy and juicy texture was delightful! - Divine Dashi Tamago We tried the dashi tamago made with eggs called "awasodachi" offered at Ise Jingu Geku. It was fluffy and delicious! - Horse Meat Motsu Nabe We enjoyed the horse meat motsu nabe, which was simmered until tender. The miso seasoning was just perfect!

Repeat! Last time I went in winter, I had horse meat shabu-shabu, but this time I tried individual dishes! The horse meat was still fresh and all the dishes were delicious. My favorite was the special assortment of 9 types of horse meat. It's not often that you can eat them all at once! The meat is so good that it melts in your mouth as soon as you bite into it. I will definitely come back again!

The restaurant is known for using horse meat directly sourced from famous Kumamoto, where you can enjoy a variety of horse meat dishes. We ordered the following items for a total of ¥16,880 for two people: - Special Masashi Assortment ¥5,820 - Tongue Sashimi ¥1,350 - Lava Grilled Assortment ¥3,300 - Special Sakura Yukke ¥780 - Rare Horse Meat Cutlet ¥1,880 - Horse Meat Bonus ¥780 - Spicy Lotus Root ¥680 - Takana Rice ¥580 - Horse Tendon Udon ¥680 - Rich Wind Chime (Pudding) of the God ¥680 - Aso Jersey Milk Ice Cream ¥350 The Special Masashi Assortment included the following: Top Sirloin, Sirloin, Fillet, Mane Sashimi, Himo Sashimi, Futae-go, Harami, and Marbled Meat. We also ordered Tongue Sashimi, which added to the table full of horse meat dishes. The meat was well presented and had a rich variety of flavors and textures. The Lava Grilled Assortment included Tongue, Middle Rib, Sirloin, and Harami, which you can grill on a hot lava plate. The meat was healthy and delicious, especially when paired with garlic and ginger. We also tried local specialties from Kyushu such as Spicy Lotus Root and Takana Rice. The Rare Cutlet was uniquely made with horse meat, providing a juicy and crispy texture. The Horse Meat Bonus was a Ma Po Eggplant dish made with horse meat, which was flavorful and addictive. For the finishing touch, we had Takana Rice and Horse Tendon Udon. The Horse Tendon Udon had a sweet and rich flavor, while the Takana Rice had a crunchy texture and perfect seasoning. Lastly, we enjoyed desserts like the Rich Wind Chime (Pudding) and Aso Jersey Milk Ice Cream, which were both delightful. We ordered based on our cravings and left the restaurant with satisfied stomachs. The horse sashimi from Kumamoto was particularly delicious. With a wide variety of dishes and a convenient location near the station, it's perfect for gatherings. Be sure to order the Special Masashi Assortment, it's a must-try. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The convenient location, just a 20-second walk from Asakusa Station on the Asakusa Line, is great! The horse sashimi here is always amazing whenever I come. The assorted platter is beautifully presented, and you can taste the freshness. In addition to horse sashimi, they also serve local dishes from Kyushu and local sake, so you can enjoy it like an izakaya! It's rare to find a place where you can enjoy horse meat in various ways, such as sashimi, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, sushi, and lava grill. With banquet rooms, table seating, counter seating, and sunken kotatsu seating, it seems like it can be versatile for various occasions! I want to try sitting at the counter next time ^_^

Located just a short walk from exit 8 of Asakusa Station on the Ginza Line. The restaurant is on the 6th floor of a building where there is a Seven-Eleven. Great accessibility. Inside, there are tatami seating where you take off your shoes, counter seats recommended for couples, and also table seats at the back. We were guided to the furthest tatami area, where we could enjoy our meal while overlooking the Skytree and the streets of Asakusa through the large window! Lucky. Orders and the menu are done through a tablet, which was very easy to read and operate. Since we were in the tatami area, there was no hassle of having to call a server from afar to take our order. We visited with the intention of trying the horse sashimi, so we mainly ordered a la carte horse sashimi. - Ice-cold draft beer: The chilled original jockey glass was interesting. Asahi beer, of course, Asahi Super Dry. - Otooshi: The sweet tofu with soy sauce from Kyushu was delicious. - Masashi's Potato Salad: A unique salad that you mix yourself. Of course, there is horse meat in it. After roughly mixing the ingredients, you crush the potatoes to your liking in a mortar. We enjoyed the chunky potatoes with a nice texture. - Sweet potato shochu: Found a shochu for sea lovers and had it on the rocks. Fruity and refreshing. Perfect for this season! - Special Masashi Assortment (nine-piece assortment): This was the reason for our visit, so we definitely ordered it. It includes various cuts like marbled, loin, top loin, special top loin, skirt, mane, two-layered, harami, and fillet. Each with three pieces, a luxurious assortment. It was a bit too much for two people, but there were rare cuts that we had never tried before, exceeding our expectations. The presentation was also lovely, and the excitement when it was brought to the table was incredible. A dish that allows you to enjoy the different textures, flavors, and fat content. Among them, I particularly liked the skirt, which was very tender and had a rich flavor. - Horse meat menchi katsu: It was my first time trying menchi katsu made with horse meat! Juicier and lighter than the common beef version. Guilt-free and delicious. - Sweet potato shochu Maou: One of the three premium shochu 3M that I rarely drink. Easy to drink and refreshing. While savoring the deliciousness of the horse meat... I thoroughly enjoyed the last drink as a perfect ending to a fun time. The horse sashimi was more generous than expected, so we didn't order many other side dishes, but we were able to enjoy the horse meat slowly and leisurely while drinking shochu, so we were very satisfied. I got carried away and ended up drinking two beers and three glasses of shochu on the rocks, and ended up getting more drunk than usual. Next time, I want to come with more people and enjoy a variety of dishes. A recommended restaurant to end your Asakusa exploration.

Today, I went to Asakusa to eat horse sashimi for the first time in a while! The restaurant was already bustling and lively, typical of Asakusa. We ordered our desired horse meat while sitting around a sunken hearth! Here's what we ordered this time: - Horse liver sashimi - Special assorted sashimi platter (5 types) - Sakura rare cutlet - Special lava-grilled horse meat (tongue) - Special Sakura meat shabu-shabu with premium marbled meat & vegetable assortment - Horse meat avocado yukke bowl We started with the horse liver sashimi. It had a firm texture and the natural sweetness of horse meat was distinct, especially when eaten with sesame oil and salt. The assorted sashimi platter was outstanding, featuring top sirloin, mane, tenderloin, two-layered, and lean sashimi. The tenderloin paired perfectly with the sweet Kyushu soy sauce, complementing light sake. A unique dish was the lava-grilled horse meat tongue. Horse meat is lean, making it a perfect match for lava grilling. It had a satisfying texture and was a delightful dish. The highlight of this meal was the horse meat shabu-shabu. While sukiyaki and motsunabe were also available, we chose shabu-shabu as we believed the broth would perfectly complement the horse meat. It was a great decision, and the choice of ponzu and sesame sauce for dipping was fantastic. This restaurant allows free ordering of condiments through a touch panel, which was very convenient. The combination of yuzu pepper with the dish was excellent. For the finale, we had the horse meat avocado yukke bowl. It was very generous and could easily serve two people! The combination of avocado, horse meat, and egg made for a superb ending to the meal. The selection of citrus and fruit-based drinks was impressive and added to the overall experience. If you ever visit Asakusa, I highly recommend trying horse sashimi at this restaurant! ☺️

I really like horse meat sashimi, and I was happy to be able to eat various parts of it. There was a child who said they didn't like seafood, but when I convinced them to try it by saying it was delicious, they also enjoyed it! I also had lotus root with mustard for the first time in a while, and it was delicious.

I had a strong desire to eat horse sashimi, and I found "Umashiya Masashi"! I was drawn to the beauty of the horse sashimi and my expectations are sky-high! The restaurant is located on the 6th floor of a building near Asakusa Station, so it may be a bit hard to find. The atmosphere inside is lively with a mix of customers like those coming from work, having a girls' night out, or hanging out with friends. The menu offers various Kyushu specialties in addition to horse meat dishes, such as mentaiko, squid shumai, spicy lotus root, chicken nanban, and sweet potato tempura, all looking delicious! But the highlight is definitely the horse sashimi!!! I ordered a platter of 9 different cuts and when it arrived at my table, I was amazed by the generous portions! The meat was top-notch and went perfectly with the drinks! I also enjoyed specialties from different regions like mentaiko, squid shumai, and sweet potato tempura, while sipping on shochu. By the end of the meal, I was quite tipsy! I definitely want to visit this restaurant again! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

When I visited after a long time, I found that they had added new items to the menu. The assortment of horse sashimi was still wonderful. It's rare to find a place where you can compare so many different cuts. My favorite rare cutlet was also satisfying. I hope they bring back the bone marrow tempura.

A stylish horse meat sashimi specialty shop near Asakusa Station. As a Kumamoto horse meat specialty store, they offer many cuts that you may have never tried before!

Personally, I highly recommend this assortment. ▶︎ Tomato Ohitashi ¥580 Surprisingly delicious was the tomato ohitashi. It's rare to see tomato ohitashi!

A favorite horse meat restaurant right near Asakusa Station! It had been a while since I last visited, and I was happy to see that they had upgraded and now welcome families with children. The sunken kotatsu tables with a view of Azuma Bridge are really nice, especially at night when it's beautiful. The must-order dish is the "Special Selection Horse Meat Assortment." This is a must-have dish! It includes 9 pieces recommended by the horse meat master: Regular, Top, Premium, Tataki, Futae-go, Fillet Tataki, Himosashi, Harami, and Shirafuri. Each assortment contains 3 slices, so I added extra slices one by one. It's really, really delicious! The three different cuts of meat for comparison - Regular, Top, and Premium - are all amazing! The fillet tataki and harami are thickly cut but still tender, completely changing the perception of horse meat! I especially love the fatty parts Futae-go and Himosashi. I added extra because they were so delicious! The best part is the middle rib Himosashi! The more you chew, the sweeter it gets. It pairs perfectly with the on the rocks sweet potato shochu Masashi from Oita! Another favorite from my last visit was the "Tempura with Mentaiko." It's still delicious and captures the hearts of sake lovers. And the biggest hit of the day was the Kumamoto specialty "Spicy Lotus Root Tempura." I love lotus root, but the tempura exceeded my expectations and was amazing! It's also great with the mayonnaise that comes with it! The Satsuma-age from the Satsuma region in Kagoshima is also excellent! There are various types, and the assorted platter is enjoyable without getting tired of it. Everything goes perfectly with beer. The "Masashi Special Chicken Nanban" is another dish I highly recommend. The chicken is incredibly tender and juicy! The tartar sauce with rakkyo and takuan is addictively delicious! My child's favorite was the "Nagasaki Plate Udon." It had plenty of vegetables and pork, as well as kamaboko, corn, edamame, and more. The sauce seasoning was also great! The "Aso Jersey Milk Ice Cream" was also surprisingly delicious. It was devoured at an astonishing speed because of its rich flavor similar to condensed milk. It's a must-visit for horse meat lovers, Kyushu cuisine enthusiasts, or anyone interested! Every dish is delicious here! You can enjoy various Kyushu dishes like horse meat sukiyaki, lava grill, shabu-shabu, and more. Of course, there are plenty of Kyushu sake options too. I love the horse meat so much that I have to go back regularly...

My son turned 22 and requested to eat horse meat for his birthday. We went to a restaurant in Kyushu where Kumamon is also on the menu. We enjoyed dishes like spicy lotus root, three types of horse meat yukke (miso, soy sauce, salt koji), horse meat prosciutto salad, turf prawns, cherry blossom meat sushi platter, Nagoya-style fried chicken, and Masashi ramen birthday plate. Everything was satisfying and we thoroughly enjoyed the horse meat. He seemed very happy. Congratulations.

[Spursya Masashi @ Asakusa] On this day, I went to this restaurant with a friend who is on a diet to have a lunch drink, as "horse meat is healthy." We climbed up to the 6th floor of a dining building in front of Asakusa Station, and entered a retro-style izakaya with posters and such. We enjoyed some tofu appetizers with sweet Kyushu soy sauce, sipped on beer, and ordered various dishes a la carte. - Horse meat sashimi assortment (added 1 piece) We started with this order as it's the specialty of the restaurant. The default is 3 pieces, so we added 1 piece to avoid any arguments with my friend. It includes loin, mane, two layers, skirt sashimi, and fillet tataki. Delicious! The horse sashimi is served in perfect condition, not frozen, and each piece is tender and tasty. My personal favorites were the skirt sashimi and mane. A must-order menu item. - Squid shumai A specialty from Saga. The squid flavor spreads gently in your mouth, and it's a great snack when dipped in sweet soy sauce. - Chikuwa salad Chikuwa stuffed with potato salad mixed with pickled ginger and deep-fried. It's a spicy and delicious snack. - Horse meat wiener A rare horse meat wiener. It's firm and has a unique flavor compared to pork, making it a good choice. - Lava-grilled assorted meats Assorted kalbi, sirloin, and harami. We also ordered this to try grilling the meat along with the sashimi. The meat is tender and flavorful, and grilling it enhances the taste even more. A must-order item as well. - Divine dashimaki tamago A rich and dashi-filled rolled omelet that perfectly suits my taste. A personal must-order menu item. - Liver sashimi A regrettable mistake. I missed the liver sashimi on the menu until now and had to order it. It's amazing! It's as delicious as beef and I wish I had ordered it earlier to enjoy with the drinks. - Sakura meat sushi assortment Assorted with sirloin, fillet, seared kalbi, premium marbled, and horse toro gunkan. Each piece is delicious in its own way, but if I had to choose, I'd recommend the seared kalbi and premium marbled. The restaurant offers 13 types of horse meat, so there are still many options to enjoy. They also have lunch menus, and various Kyushu dishes, making it a place where you can always have a good time. This is a must-visit spot for horse meat lovers.
