I’ve been wanting to visit 【Umaou】, a horse meat specialty izakaya that recently opened in Jyuso! It’s conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from the Hankyu Line Jyuso Station. The interior has a wooden decor, with various artworks and decorations themed around horses, creating a perfect atmosphere to enjoy horse meat. The spacious venue is also great for drinking parties. This restaurant offers a selection of pure domestic horse meat shipped directly from Kagoshima, as well as carefully chosen foreign horse meat, all at reasonable prices. You can savor a variety of dishes, including some classic options, which heightened my anticipation! This time, I ordered a la carte, so let me introduce what I had! ✅ Otooshi (330 yen) True to its theme, the first dish was a horse meat delicacy: "Braised Horse Neck." The texture was firm, and the rich flavor made it an ideal starter! I was already reaching for the beer. ✅ Horse Sashimi 5-Variety Platter (2,618 yen) This luxurious platter allows you to enjoy five recommended cuts of horse sashimi at once! The variety changes daily, and on that day, we had "Lean, Futaego, Fatty Tails, Heart, and Fillet." Various dipping sauces and condiments such as sweet soy sauce, ginger miso, spicy miso, rock salt, and wasabi were provided, enhancing the flavor of each bite. The natural sweetness of the meat spread through my mouth, and the flavor was quite punchy! The Fatty Tail was especially tender and sweet, and the Heart had a deep taste, quite different from beef, with a lovely texture. ✅ Horse Meat Menchi-katsu (660 yen) This dish is my favorite horse meat dish, encapsulating the strong flavor of horse meat! Juice bursts in your mouth with each bite, making the beer pair perfectly. If you haven't tried it, you definitely should! ✅ Horse Meat Karaage (770 yen) These large pieces of fried horse meat are packed with juice, delivering a bold flavor not found in chicken. For those who enjoy rich flavors, this will become addictive, and I was filled with happiness! From raw dishes to fried options, I enjoyed a variety of horse meat preparations. It had been a while since I had horse meat, and I was reminded of its rich, unique flavor, leaving me in great spirits! The menu also includes typical izakaya items such as dashimaki tamago (Japanese omelet) and chicken karaage, ensuring there’s something for every occasion. If you’re ever in the mood for something more punchy than your usual meat, this place is definitely worth remembering! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

I stayed in Shinsyu and was wandering around at night looking for a place to eat when I came across this restaurant and decided to go in. I actually wanted to try the frozen-free Kumamoto horse meat that comes directly from Kagoshima, but since I wasn't very hungry, I thought it would be a waste and ordered from the regular menu instead. The curry was absolutely delicious!

The horse sashimi was incredibly delicious, with a wide variety of cuts to enjoy, all tender and completely without any unpleasant odor! The horse meat curry was flavorful with well-balanced spices and very tasty ^ ^ The staff's service was also excellent ^ ^ I will definitely visit again. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

The stairway of horse meat was incredibly delicious. When I spoke with the manager, I learned that the horse sashimi is never frozen, which makes it exceptionally fresh. The meat was thick, yet certain parts were so tender that it felt like they were melting in my mouth! They recommended trying it with sweet soy sauce from Kyushu, but I personally preferred it with salt and wasabi the most!

The staff's service was excellent! They were kind, attentive, and I felt very comfortable. The food was delicious and amazing. The horse meat was incredibly fresh!! It was the best horse meat I've ever had! All of the other dishes were delicious too! I will definitely be back!

I enjoyed a feast of healthy, high-protein horse meat at the popular horse meat pub, Umaou Juso. Here’s what I had: ◇ Sashimi Platter (Staircase style) ¥4,980 ◇ Horse Meat Hamburger ¥935 ◇ Specialty! Charred Tonomiyaki Sushi ¥418 ◇ Steak (3 types) ¥3,828 ◇ Horse Meat Tataki with Green Onions ¥869 ◇ Delicious Chanja ¥495 ◇ Mustard Lotus Root ¥528 ◇ Horse Meat Garlic Rice ¥935 ◇ Hokkaido Milk & Melon Gelato ¥550 The luxurious staircase sashimi is made with pure domestic horse meat sourced directly from the Tsukuba Ranch in Kagoshima, offering everything from standard cuts to rare parts. The raw horse meat was absolutely delicious and truly satisfying. The in-house made horse meat hamburger was juicy and tasty, while the charred Tonomiyaki sushi was not only delicious but also fun to watch as it was prepared right in front of me. Every dish was delectable, and as a horse meat specialty restaurant, there was an impressive variety of horse meat menu options. Horse meat has one-third the calories of beef, 1.5 times the protein, and 20 times the iron of chicken, making it perfect for preventing anemia and recovering from fatigue. I really charged up my energy here!

High in nutritional value and healthy, we had a fantastic girls' night out with delicious horse meat dishes! Here’s what I tried: ⭐️Horse meat tataki with lots of green onions - 869 yen ⭐️Horse meat hamburger - 935 yen ⭐️Horse meat chamja - 495 yen ⭐️Three types of steak - 3,828 yen ⭐️Mustard lotus root - 528 yen ⭐️Fresh horse sashimi served in a tiered presentation - 4,980 yen ⭐️Signature grilled horse meat nigiri - 418 yen ⭐️Horse meat garlic rice - 935 yen ⭐️Hokkaido milk & melon gelato - 550 yen. The tiered sashimi was an impressive presentation, allowing us to enjoy various cuts, which was really entertaining. The horse meat chamja was a unique dish and extremely delicious, perfect for pairing with drinks. The grilled nigiri, seared right in front of us, was a delightful experience, and we could savor the rich flavor of the meat’s fat. The horse meat served at Umaou is freshly sourced directly from Kagoshima Tsukudakusan, ensuring delicious, genuine domestic horse meat. With both classic and unique dishes available, there’s plenty to satisfy any craving for horse meat. The restaurant is just a 2-minute walk from the Nishiguchi exit of Juusan, easily identifiable by its large sign.

I recently visited the restaurant "Taishu Baniku Sakaba Baou Juso" located near Juso Station in Osaka City. Right from the start, I was greeted with a stunning presentation: the staircase serving of horse sashimi featuring fresh horse meat directly from the ranch. Among the selections, the filet sashimi was astonishingly tender, with a mild flavor that made it easy to enjoy. In contrast, the premium belly portion was rich in flavor and had a delightful sweetness from the high-quality fat, leaving me truly impressed! Each cut showcased a fresh taste and a nice, bouncy texture. One of the highlights was the signature torobara grilled sushi, which they prepared right in front of me. The visual presentation alone made it clear how delicious it would be! And indeed, it melted in my mouth and was absolutely delightful. Surprisingly, the roasted horse Caesar salad was incredibly moist and tender, standing out from the raw options and making it easy to enjoy lots of veggies. The biggest surprise of the day was the horse meat hamburger. It was so delicious that it made me crave rice, and the harmony between the sauce and the hamburger was just perfect! The sakura yukke, served as raw meat, was a joy to eat, and I was thrilled by the delicious blend of the sauce and egg yolk. I felt so happy to enjoy so many tasty dishes. I left feeling full and completely satisfied! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Taishu Bameku Sakaba Baou (馬王) Juso Branch @baou_13 If you're a true Osaka native, you can easily read the name of the area, Juso (十三). Horse meat is gaining attention in the Reiwa era, especially among younger women, as it’s higher in protein and healthier compared to beef and pork. I stumbled upon this place on Instagram and made a list of dishes I wanted to try even before my first visit. I fasted for 24 hours for this day and arrived right when they opened at 5 PM, being the first customer. This time, I ordered the following dishes: 1. Daily limited Pure Domestic Horse Sashimi (tower-style with various cuts: thigh sashimi, premium belly, upper loin, futaego, and fillet sashimi) 2. Sakura Yukhoe 3. Steak trio (thigh, loin, fillet) 4. Horse Meat Hamburger 5. Flame-seared Horse Meat Sushi Before the meat arrived, I also ordered some quick bar snacks: 6. Dashimaki Tamago (Japanese rolled omelet) 7. Spicy Miso Cucumbers After a while, my chopsticks were ready to go. The Pure Domestic Horse Sashimi (from Kagoshima Tsukuda Farm, non-frozen) was my main highlight. I’m a complete novice when it comes to horse meat, so I took a photo of the horse meat cut identification chart at the entrance. Using the recommended guide for enjoying the horse sashimi from the restaurant, I excitedly tried the sashimi tower. I typically only eat steak with sauce at casual places, but following the manager’s suggestion, the pink rock salt was the most enjoyable of the many dressings they offered. The second best was a soy sauce for horse meat mixed with garlic, which I finished without any leftovers. I discovered the deliciousness of raw horse meat sashimi for the first time. The steak trio (thigh, loin, fillet) came with steak sauce, garlic chips, wasabi, and rock salt. They were cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and I was very satisfied as I enjoyed them with sauce, garlic chips, and rock salt. The horse meat hamburger was thick and juicy, with a hint of sweetness, perfectly paired with a rich sauce over a lightly charred crust. The Sakura Yukhoe (raw horse meat yukhoe) was a delightful surprise, as I hadn’t had raw yukhoe in Japan for a long time, and I was thrilled to have a horse meat version... the sauce mixed with the egg was exquisite. The flame-seared horse meat sushi was made by the manager right at my table since I was the first customer, and I enjoyed it while it was still warm. The amount of meat was several times that of the rice, and it was sweet and melted in my mouth. The charm of horse meat lies in its low calories and health benefits: 1. It has half the calories of beef and pork. 2. It is rich in iron—four times more than beef, and twenty times more than chicken, making it ideal for preventing anemia. 3. It contains 3.4 times more glycogen than beef and pork, which helps in recovery from fatigue. 4. It is high in protein—1.5 times more than beef and pork. With this volume, a high-end wagyu meal could easily cost tens of thousands of yen, but at Baou, you can enjoy horse meat all you can eat for around 7,000 yen, which is wallet-friendly. Furthermore, the best meats pair beautifully with excellent drinks, including Johnnie Walker whiskies like Yamazaki, Yamazaki 18 Years, and Hibiki, along with some unique options like Pork Ginger on the all-you-can-drink menu, all for under 10,000 yen—even with the drink and food plans. I noticed an amazing campaign before leaving, so for details, check out their Instagram. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shop: Taishu Bameku Sakaba Baou (馬王) @baou_13 Celebrating 15 years in business: Get your meal cost refunded From September 1 to September 5, 2024 Additionally, highballs will be just 15 yen each! (They have numerous locations in Osaka—around 10 stores, including the Sakaisuji Hommachi and Juso branches). To celebrate the first anniversary of Baou Juso Shop and to kick off “Horse Meat Week” on August 29 (829), horse sashimi 5 varieties, usually priced at 2,618 yen, will be just 829 yen! For those wanting to try horse meat for the first time, I recommend taking advantage of this opportunity.

I made a reservation for Saturday night and chose the all-you-can-eat horse meat course for 7,700 yen including tax, using a coupon for a free standard drink plan for women. The atmosphere in the restaurant is calm and relaxing. The female staff members were very attentive and efficient, providing excellent service throughout the evening. The manager also ran things impressively, with quick order and food delivery times. The presentation of the dishes was neat and careful. There were no delays in serving, which is often a problem at all-you-can-eat places, so I was able to enjoy plenty of horse meat. I savored the horse sashimi, steak, and other delicious dishes. The staff provided explanations when serving, making it easy for first-time visitors to feel at ease. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited the restaurant on a weekday at 7:30 PM! It's close to Juusan Station, and the interior was spacious. It had been a while since I'd had horse meat (*^^*). There were so many menu options, and when I was undecided, the staff kindly helped me with recommendations! This place is a rare gem where you can enjoy pure domestic horse meat! I highly recommend the horse sashimi platter with five different types. The suggested ways to enjoy each type were on the table, which was helpful! The lean meat was light and delicious, with no unpleasant odor at all! The "tategami" (mane) was rich and fatty, sweet, and completely different from other horse sashimi. The "fuetagou" had both fat and lean meat, offering an interesting texture! The "hire" (tenderloin) melted in my mouth! I enjoyed it with wasabi and salt, and it was refined – definitely a must-try! The "roast" was soft, slightly sweet, and paired perfectly with sweet soy sauce or miso! The stir-fried horse tongue with pepper exceeded my expectations with its texture! The simple salt and pepper seasoning allowed the flavors of the bean sprouts underneath to shine through, making it delicious! The horse meat tataki (lightly seared) with lots of green onions was my favorite! It was drizzled with ponzu sauce and lightly cooked, but was still tender and almost required no chewing, haha. The green onions paired excellently, and adding garlic chips gave it a delightful kick! The homemade roast horse was the most cooked dish of the day, yet it was not dry at all; it was tender and flavorful ( *´艸｀). The sauce was also very tasty! The star of the show was the famous "tomo-bara" (brisket) sushi, which they sear right in front of you with a torch – a fun experience! The brisket was surprisingly long and thick, with rich fat, making it juicy (*^^*). By the way, they also had a variety of drinks, and the side dishes were delicious, leaving me very satisfied! Since there are many other restaurants in the area, I highly recommend stopping by if you’re bar-hopping in Juusan! Thank you for the wonderful meal! ♡

Not frozen!! A course with a selection of "raw" domestic horse sashimi is available for an all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink deal at just 7,700 yen for women! As a horse sashimi lover, I've been curious about this restaurant for a while. While it's not necessary to choose the all-you-can-eat and drink option, a single order of the horse sashimi platter is 4,980 yen. So, opting for the all-you-can-eat and drink is definitely more cost-effective, right? Initially, they serve soup, salad, horse meat croquettes, and a platter of "raw" horse sashimi from Kagoshima. After that, you’re free to order any menu item you like. The options for the final course include horse meat curry, garlic rice, and roast horse donburi, along with dessert. The croquettes are incredibly juicy and delicious. I also ordered additional horse meat hamburgers, which were equally juicy. The extra horse sashimi was foreign rather than domestic, but since I had the platter in the beginning, I just ordered the fatty parts (tategami). The grilled "tomo-bara" (a type of horse meat) is grilled right in front of you. You can enjoy it wrapped in a rice ball style. The roast steak is meaty and satisfying. Horse meat is low in calories and high in protein, so you can indulge without guilt. There is a wide variety of alcoholic drinks, and for an additional 1,100 yen, you can have all-you-can-drink premium drinks like Yamazaki and Chita. It's a rare restaurant where you can enjoy "raw" horse sashimi instead of frozen.

This restaurant is located very close to Shijō Station. The space is quite spacious, featuring table seating as well as a raised area suitable for larger groups. It specializes in horse meat dishes, offering a variety of options including sashimi, but it also has a good selection of non-horse meat appetizers. However, what caught my attention the most is that they serve horse meat that can only be found here in Osaka. They offer fresh (never frozen) horse meat from Tsukuda Farm in Kagoshima Prefecture. It's quite rare to find non-frozen horse meat outside its production area, it seems. Currently, this restaurant is said to be the only place in Osaka that offers it. While there is a menu with various cuts of meat, since it was my first visit, I wanted to try everything, so I ordered the "Limited Quantity: Pure Domestic Tsukuda Farm Direct Fresh Horse Sashimi Platter - 4,980 yen." It was my first time seeing a horse meat platter arranged like stairs. It included cuts such as loin, thigh, futaego (flank), belly, fillet, as well as yukke (raw meat dish) and tataki (lightly seared meat). Recently, I had been eating horse meat from Fukushima and Yamanashi, so it had been a while since I had Kyushu horse meat. The taste was completely different and honestly quite shocking. I've heard that Kyushu horse meat has a low melting point, making it difficult to keep out of the fridge for long, and I now understand why—this meat melts in your mouth. The sensation is unlike that of beef; depending on the cut, it can feel sticky at first before it crumbles and melts away. The fat is incredibly sweet, and each cut has a distinct umami flavor and texture that's irresistible. This platter allowed me to try all the varieties, so I think it's a good idea to start with that and then order more of your favorite cuts. I particularly liked the fillet and premium belly. Despite that, I also ordered a portion of salted yukke from Tsukuda Farm. The staff kindly explained that the horse meat comes from both Tsukuda Farm and other sources. It was truly delicious, and I would love to eat that horse meat again.

The horse meat dishes at this restaurant are all incredibly delicious (^ ^). When I posted a review on Google, I received a complimentary dish, so I tried the yukke. The five-item horse sashimi platter and the fried horse meat were both delicious. Personally, I really enjoyed the croquette (I asked for a second helping ✨). I hope they will offer a rice dish that features horse meat as well!

A restaurant offering all-you-can-eat horse meat, standing out like no other! I was completely impressed from the very first platter of horse sashimi. Having only eaten thin slices of horse sashimi before, I didn’t realize that thick slices could have such a chewy texture and sweetness. I truly discovered the depth of horse meat.

I was attracted to the staircase-style horse sashimi and came to the restaurant, but once there, I saw a selection of horse meat that had been frozen once. So, I decided to go with that this time (laughs). The price was about half of the staircase-style serving, but it was still delicious enough! There were many types of dipping sauces to try, so I could sample various flavors! The offal hot pot was unexpectedly light, but the spicy sauce paired really well with it! It made me want to drink more! The service offered various deals, so I was able to enjoy it at a good value. The happy hour drinks were appreciated, but I was shocked to find that the drinks labeled as "sour" were not carbonated, except for the lemon and grapefruit ones (laughs). Essentially, they were mostly shochu-based!

They source fresh, pure domestic horse meat directly from Tsukuda Farm in Kagoshima, available in limited quantities with the possibility of selling out! Additionally, they offer carefully selected foreign horse meat at reasonable prices. This time, there is an all-you-can-eat course available, so I quickly decided to give it a try.

If you upgrade to a premium drink option for an extra 1,000 yen, you can enjoy unlimited whiskey options including Yamazaki, Hakushu, Yoichi, Chita, and Miyagikyo. When you order the course, I highly recommend the "Kagoshima Tsukuda Farm Fresh Horse Sashimi Platter," which includes top cuts like upper loin, tenderloin, and special belly. You can also enjoy various dishes such as horse meat sushi, horse meat hamburger, horse meat fried, and wrapped stuffed mustard lotus root, plus Japanese-style rolled omelet.

Eating a lot might cause heartburn, but since it’s just one slice at a time, it was just right^^ The fat melts with the warmth of your tongue ♡ The other meats had a strong red meat flavor characteristic of horse meat and were tender! It was fun to have small bites! ◎ Roasted Horse Salad The roasted horse had a pleasantly chewy texture that’s really addictive♡ ◎ Shin Meat Collagen Soup ◎ Horse Meat Croquette The crispy coating along with the light but meaty filling was super delicious (ﾉ˶>ᗜ​<˵)ﾉ ◎ Mini Curry Rice A somewhat bitter, deep, and spicier authentic curry │ ˶^ᵕ^˶)b ◎ Mini Garlic Rice The fluffy rice was perfectly seasoned!

The texture and richness of the fat were irresistible. ◎ Tenderloin Steak It was super tender and very mild! ○ Koune Sashimi A bouncy texture! It’s the fatty part of the futaego! Unlike beef or pork fat, horse fat leaves a rich aftertaste but feels lighter and more pleasant^^ ○ Heart Sashimi It had a flavor similar to liver but with the texture of meat? Haha ○ Horse Tendon with Ponzu (quite a hefty serving) ○ Addictive Cucumbers (with bonito flakes, yum!) The only caution is that you might end up overeating and drinking too much! Haha The restaurant is spacious and clean, and the staff's service was excellent!!

It's located just at the entrance of the Juusan Friendly Shopping Street, right after you exit the west side of Juusan Station, and it's easy to spot thanks to its prominent sign!
