This is my visit to "Ketobashiya Champion Sakai Higashi Store," a restaurant where you can enjoy horse meat at a reasonable price, and it was fully booked even with a reservation made two weeks in advance. I was able to easily enter during peak hours because I had reserved a table in advance. Since there is no course menu, it was convenient to order a la carte on the day. I ordered a sashimi assortment and a grilled meat assortment. I felt that the menu was quite limited, especially in terms of individual dishes. I wanted to try horse meat sushi, but it was not on the menu. When the sashimi assortment was served, the staff introduced the different meats, but I couldn't quite catch what they were saying. Nevertheless, the atmosphere of the restaurant made me feel forgiving. The photos are everything since it is a daily assortment. I felt a bit unsatisfied. The grilled meat was served in three portions, including jaw, tail, belly, skirt, fillet, and harami. The fillet meat was amazing when lightly seared, with a great taste and texture. I liked the crunchy texture, so I ordered an additional three portions. I also ordered three portions of raw liver and yukhoe. The raw horse liver was nostalgic and tasted amazing with sesame oil and salt. The yukhoe was consistently delicious. I also added horse meat fried rice, which was a generous portion. I also tried items like sakura menchi katsu and roast horse. "Ketobashiya Champion Sakai Higashi Store" is a satisfying restaurant, especially recommended for those who enjoy drinking alcohol. It's a great place, and I would like to make a reservation and visit again.

I mistakenly went to a horse meat yakiniku restaurant thinking it was a regular yakiniku place. I love horse meat, and I've been a big fan since I was a kid. I especially love basashi and could eat it every day. Despite not knowing it was a horse meat restaurant (I didn't check the reviews properly), I went in ready to enjoy some regular yakiniku. The restaurant was empty, which made me a bit nervous. I usually order boldly, but this time I played it safe and ordered a basashi assortment, yukhoe, and liver sashimi. The appetizer, egg soup, was unexpectedly delicious and put my worries to rest. The basashi, liver sashimi, and yukhoe were all fantastic. The staff, who seemed experienced, kindly explained how to enjoy the dishes. Encouraged by the delicious basashi, I also ordered some grilled horse meat. The staff explained how to cook the different cuts, and they all turned out delicious. When I praised the egg soup, they offered me a refill, which came in a bowl twice the size of the original. It was really good. I forgot to take photos because it was so delicious (laughs). Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Gashi night: The second part of Autumn 2022♪ Took a stroll... Hmm... The kebab shop, which always seems crowded, was surprisingly empty♪ The main store is in Fukushima Ward, I think... Usually, it's so full that I couldn't get in without a reservation, but this time it was relatively empty. After checking with the staff, I entered♪ The space mainly consists of table seating♪ First, a highball♪ and then I ordered the horse tartare♪ The cherry blossom tartare had an egg inside... Lightly mixed, with a sweet flavor♪ The horse meat tartare at Ouma was tender and delicious♪ The Champion Gyoza... Of course, made with horse meat and pork. The gyoza had thin skin, a standard medium size, and was sweet as it is♪ You can enjoy a crispy side with a soft back. It comes with a standard miso sauce and spicy mustard greens♪ I'll try a different menu next time♪ Thanks for the meal♪(*´ω｀*) Now then... (Visited on 10/30/2022)

I made a reservation to visit a restaurant where I can use a meal voucher at a gold sticker shop. I could reserve from 5:30 pm. It was an early time, but there were already 3 groups of customers ahead of me. More customers arrived later. It seems to be a popular place. I decided on sashimi and yakiniku. I was recommended to try liver, so I ordered that too. I also had miso stew. The appetizer was fried sesame tofu with a dashi sauce, which was delicious. The sashimi included a white fish called bayu, which was actually the tail part. It was recommended to eat it with lean meat. There was also horse meat and negitoro, which was interesting. The horse meat was really delicious! The negitoro was also unique. I think I liked the lean meat more than the bayu. The sweet soy sauce from Kyushu was great. The raw liver was delicious but the portion was small. The miso stew lacked sweetness for my taste, but it had plenty of horse meat tendons and large radishes and carrots, providing a satisfying amount. The yakiniku had different ways of cooking depending on the type, and they showed us how to cook it first. When my husband asked if he could take a photo before cooking, the staff said, "Of course! Take lots of pictures! Especially since it's horse meat," making a pun. The sauce was a light one made with black vinegar, which was unusual. There was also a light brown salt on the table, which was delicious! The horse meat fried rice caught my eye, so I ordered it even though I was almost full. It had a savory taste with a crispy texture, and there was plenty of horse meat in it. It was delicious! I was almost full after all that, but I couldn't resist trying the horse meat fried rice. When the staff asked how the food was, I said it was delicious, but later I regretted not making a pun like "It was delicious! Especially since it's horse meat!" I'm sure many people say that though. Thank you for the meal.

I don't particularly like horse meat myself, so my rating might be a bit lower. My partner, who likes light meat, seems to be very satisfied with it more than regular yakiniku. It's a matter of preference. I think for first-timers, it's good to order a set of sashimi and yakiniku for two people. If you order both for two people, you'll be full enough. The staff are friendly and refreshing. If you like horse meat, please give it a try.

I haven't been to many horse sashimi restaurants, but this was the best one I've ever had. The sesame tofu appetizer set high expectations, and the horse sashimi assortment they served right after was amazing. There was no liver, but they had good heart sashimi instead. It had no smell and was very tender. The grilled meat was also delicious and satisfying. Despite getting splashed with oil in my eye, the taste was so good that I didn't mind. The staff were friendly and made the experience enjoyable. I would love to go back again. Supreme horse sashimi for 2 people ¥2,650, grilled meat platter for 2 people ¥3,590, heart sashimi ¥990.

I visited the horse meat specialty restaurant "Ketobashiya Champion Sakai Higashi Store" in Sakai Higashi! As the name suggests, you can enjoy horse meat dishes here! I don't usually eat horse meat, but it was really delicious! You can enjoy fresh and incredibly tasty horse meat dishes here. Whether it's sashimi or grilled, every part is delicious, and it's much lighter than beef, so you can eat a lot. Highly recommended for women too! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal ♬

Horse meat is healthy and the fact that it can be eaten raw is great. I love raw meat, so I ordered a sashimi platter, yukhoe, and raw liver. Horse sashimi is best enjoyed dipped in a sweet soy sauce unique to Kyushu, along with garlic, green onions, and onions. The sauce really complements the horse meat. The lean meat is also delicious when eaten together. And the grilled horse meat is amazing! It's lighter than beef and you can eat as much as you want. Everything was delicious.

I don't usually go to Sakai Higashi, but I happened to stop by and I was wondering if there were any good restaurants, so I made a reservation. It was a big hit!! I have never come across satisfying horse sashimi in Osaka, so I'm glad I came! The grilled dishes and horse meat dumplings were very delicious! They told me that there is a single serving option in the grilled set, which is considerate for women, so I chose the single serving option and the portion was just right! The fillet was incredibly delicious. They explain in detail about how to grill the meat and the different cuts, so they are kind and polite. The miso soup for dessert was also very delicious (^O^)

I came here for horse meat in Sakai East. The state of emergency has been lifted and there is no longer a shortened business hours in Sakai City. I arrived around 6 pm. There were quite a few customers. The door was wide open for ventilation, so it was a bit cold. First, I had an appetizer, which was a rare soup. I ordered horse sashimi and liver. They were both safe and fresh horse meat. Next, I had the main dish, grilled horse meat. Horse meat restaurants usually provide detailed explanations of the different cuts. The sauce for the grilled meat was different from beef, but it was delicious.

Healthy yakiniku is the way to go, right? That's why I paid a visit to Gashi-no-Ketobashiya after a long time. I've been there a few times since it opened, but it's been a while since my last visit. The appetizer was sesame tofu cooked in horse broth - delicious and smooth! Next, I had a sashimi platter with slices of white fatty meat that melted in my mouth thanks to the sweet soy sauce from Kyushu. The cherry blossom meatball and the horse meat yakiniku were also fantastic. The yakiniku was light and tasty, perfect for continuous eating. And to finish off, the cherry blossom sushi was even better than the fish sushi. It's been a while since I've been to Gashi-no-Ketobashiya, but I definitely need to make regular visits. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Having a meeting in Sakai Higashi area. After finishing work for the day, feeling a bit stuck, so decided to have dinner. Asked the person I was meeting with what they felt like eating, and they said they wanted meat without too much fat. So I suggested going to Kebash Champion, a place known for its horse meat dishes. The horse meat here is very fresh and doesn't have a strong smell. It's best to order dishes that are not cooked too much. We started with a platter of horse sashimi, which included mane, thigh, rump, and tenderloin. The meat is mild with no smell, but full of flavor. Very delicious. We also had horse yakiniku, which included fillet, rib, brisket, skirt, and stomach. Again, no smell and very tasty. We also ordered some namul, kimchi, and horse meat with ponzu sauce. We ended up ordering more yakiniku as well. The restaurant was lively and the staff were friendly. Ate well, drank well, and the total bill came to around 6000 yen per person. Overall, getting to eat horse meat of this quality at this price is great value.

After a long time, I had horse meat again. As expected, horse meat is rarely disappointing! This day, I had yakiniku and horse sashimi at Loop. Horse meat doesn't have a strong strange taste, which is great. The style of finishing with miso soup at the end has been around for a while, right? The moderate bustle is much appreciated.

This time, I went to a popular horse meat restaurant called "Ketobashiya Champion" for a dinner gathering. I once had a phase where I was really into horse meat, and even considered moving to Kumamoto. Luckily, I didn't rush into it. We enjoyed horse sashimi, yakiniku, horse meat croquettes, horse meat fried rice, and more at this restaurant. They have a wide variety of horse meat dishes. The miso soup was also delicious. Among all, my favorite was the horse sashimi. It has no gamey taste, a good texture, and tastes great with the sweet soy sauce unique to Kyushu. I even tried the luxurious way of layering lean and fatty cuts (kone and tategami) together. I was very satisfied. We visited the branch in Sakai Higashi, but there are several branches in Osaka as well. ★ I also have an Instagram account! I share delicious gourmet foods there too, so please follow me here: https://www.instagram.com/osakagourmet.ryox/

There is a main dish and a meal to finish after eating (this time it's dotenabe and miso soup). The oolong tea pitcher is huge. The product descriptions are detailed. Even though you eat until you're full, it's around 4000 yen per person, so it's cost-effective. (Yukke 1, horse sashimi 2, grilled meat 2, salad 1, garlic steak 1, fried rice 1)

I visited by making a reservation in advance at 8:00 PM on a weekday.

I took on the challenge of trying horse meat, which had always been rumored about. Although unfamiliar, I was impressed by its completely different deliciousness from what I had imagined. The meat was light without any strong taste or odor, and it had an elegant flavor when grilled with a refined broth. It's a different experience from the typical yakiniku where you eat with sauce, but I would recommend this restaurant to those who have not tried it yet.
