Located in a mixed-use building in Shinjuku, this shop has a cool exterior. Inside, there are about 6 counter seats and a few table seats. It's a very cozy place. Most of the menu items use horse meat. It's the first time I've seen a restaurant with so many horse meat dishes. They offer a wide variety of horse sashimi. If you like horse sashimi, it's worth knowing about this place. The staff are very friendly and have a high level of likeability. I definitely want to go back.

I can't believe there's a restaurant with horse meat and rare shochu in a building like this!

◆Spurs Three-Point Combo

The restaurant has an unhygienic bed, wall, and raised platform, but offers a wide selection of shochu and plum wine.

"Hatsuba" [Shinjuku / Horse Meat] Drinking with former colleagues. Craving horse sashimi, we searched for a restaurant. Intrigued by the menu offering 12 types of horse sashimi and over 300 types of shochu, we decided to go. A small cozy restaurant located inside a dining building. We ordered a platter of lean, marbled, and liver horse sashimi. Also tried horse meat skewers, horse meat wiener, horse meat croquettes, ginger stir-fried liver, and hormone miso stew. Each dish comes in small portions, allowing us to enjoy a variety of dishes. Ended with a dessert and the shochu selection was impressive, even though I usually drink it on the rocks. Perfect for the third day of a drinking party. Although the prices were a bit high, we were satisfied with the quality of the food. It would have been even better if they had Kuro Chitose Kaori.

I revisited and tried two types of shochu and sake (^-^)v The horse yukke was delicious ###### I tried various ways and parts of eating! There were many types of plum wine and shochu, couldn't conquer them all in one go!

I visited this restaurant nearby, not knowing that the main branch is in Suita. The entrance is quite narrow, making me wonder if this is actually the entrance. Inside, there is a counter and table seats separated by curtains. A waitress in a kimono first recommended today's dishes and shochu. She seemed to skip over some details about the horse meat cuts. The food and drinks were served a bit slowly, but it seemed to be done carefully. The horse meat had a lot of fat, so I couldn't eat much. The meat itself was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

At the beginning of the year, I visited this restaurant in Shinjuku three times in a row since it was a convenient location for meeting people. The entrance is a bit hard to find and the restaurant is very small. The horse meat platter was delicious and the staff were friendly, leaving a good impression. However, on my second and third visits, I found that the menu options were limited and the food was average, not particularly outstanding. They have a good selection of shochu and plum wine despite the small space. The service is great, but due to the small size of the restaurant and the limited staff, it can be difficult to get attention when there are multiple customers at the same time. I would recommend going when it's not crowded or checking the reservation status before going.

I was a little disappointed because it didn't live up to my expectations. I was looking forward to it after reading the reviews, but when I tried it, the meat seemed to lack flavor, not even a hint of aroma. It wasn't gamey, but it also didn't have much taste. It felt too bland, almost like I couldn't tell what kind of meat it was. I prefer horse meat dishes that are cooked with a bit more flavor. The plum wine, even on the rocks, I was hoping for a richer taste but it felt a bit weak. And the soy sauce, they served a sweet soy sauce which is supposed to be authentic, but I found that the regular soy sauce actually paired better. The sweetness of the soy sauce overpowered the taste of the horse meat. With my high expectations, I found the lack of flavor in both the alcohol and the meat to be disappointing, making me question if the price was a bit too high. If this is the authentic taste, then maybe I should reconsider my Kyushu trip. It's strange that it's hard to get in without a reservation. The horse sashimi at a local izakaya near my house had much more flavor and was delicious, so I was planning to spend around 10,000 yen if it was good, but I ended up leaving after about an hour feeling let down. I tried the lean meat, harami, heart, medium fatty tuna sashimi, horse sashimi carpaccio, seared foie gras, and two glasses of plum wine. For those who can't eat horse meat with any hint of gamey taste, this might be recommended. However, the service was excellent, and the manager and the hostess are working hard, so I hope they continue to improve and make the restaurant even better. Keep it up.

A few days ago, a friend asked me whether horse meat in Shinjuku or teppanyaki in Akihabara would be better for our drinking party on the 27th. I replied that teppanyaki would be good, but in the end, we ended up going for horse meat at Namiyotsu Uma in Shinjuku. The restaurant is very small and seems to get fully booked quickly. We got a special horse sashimi platter for free with a coupon, which included liver, akami, premium horse sashimi, and diaphragm. The liver is delicious with sesame oil! They have two types of soy sauce, regular and a sweeter one from Kyushu. The menu mainly consists of horse meat dishes, with a wide variety of shochu and plum wine. The staff is very knowledgeable about the dishes and condiments, and they even recommend items not on the menu. We tried the horse meat smoked cheese grill, which was also delicious. The croquettes were tasty too. With four people, we were able to try a variety of dishes. After beer, we enjoyed plum wine on the rocks, and the frozen plum wine for dessert was the strongest in alcohol content. It remains strong even as it melts because the plum wine itself is frozen. It's recommended for shochu lovers, although it's not cheap. Those who dislike horse meat probably wouldn't go in the first place, but it's good for those who are okay with mostly horse meat dishes. We had a 2-hour time limit, so of course, we continued drinking at a different place afterwards (laughs).

I searched on "Tabelog" for a restaurant in Shinjuku where you can enjoy horse meat and shochu with 6 colleagues from the same company. We found this restaurant and decided to visit. The location on the 5th floor of a mixed-use building may not attract many customers at first glance. In that sense, the high ratings on "Tabelog" and active exposure on websites like "Gurunavi" seem necessary. The horse meat dishes were impressive with a wide variety and generous portions. The selection of shochu was also impressive, with 200 types available at all times. However, the restaurant itself was quite small and cramped, with limited seating. The lighting was also dim, making it difficult to fully appreciate the dishes. Despite the delicious food and shochu, the bill came out to be a bit pricey, around 10,000 yen per person. This restaurant may not be suitable for a casual outing due to the cramped space and high prices. Overall, the experience was satisfactory but the uncomfortable atmosphere and high prices make it unlikely for a return visit. Therefore, I give it 2.5 stars.

We entered this restaurant for a year-end party with colleagues and a farewell party for a young member. The horse meat tasted okay, but what made us happy was the hospitality. One person was very late, so we couldn't make it on time, but when we informed them we were on our way, they extended our reservation. Thanks to that, everyone had a great time. Thank you very much.

Located on the 5th floor of a building near the east exit of Shinjuku Station. The lighting and counter make it seem like a snack bar at first glance. However, it pleasantly surprises you. The horse meat is tender and slightly sweet with a good texture. The heart meat is more on the mild side. The mane has a texture similar to cheese. The horse meat, directly delivered from Kumamoto, is incredibly fresh. They offer a selection of around 200 carefully chosen shochu, which shochu enthusiasts will love. They even served a coffee shochu this time, which was quite rare. When leaving the restaurant, the staff escorted me to the elevator, and to my surprise, they were waiting for me outside without even breaking a sweat. It was a fun surprise. I would definitely go back again.

Located on the 5th floor of a mixed-use building across from Otsuka Furniture at the east exit of Shinjuku Station, this restaurant may seem confusing at first glance. The interior is small and lacks the welcoming atmosphere of a typical restaurant, more resembling a backyard. This was my second visit, prompted by a friend's desire to try horse meat. The restaurant offers table and counter seating, with curtains separating the tables and a cozy counter area. We visited on a weekday during Golden Week at 7:00 PM, using a Hot Pepper coupon for a complimentary 2,000 yen worth of horse sashimi (including lean meat and premium cuts). We also ordered additional cuts such as mane and heart, creating a diverse sashimi platter. The horse sashimi was slightly thick and best enjoyed with the sweet soy sauce unique to Kyushu. Other dishes featuring horse meat, such as simmered dishes and fried items, are also available. We tried the horse hormone miso stew, which was a bit lacking in miso flavor. Additionally, we ordered side dishes such as fresh yuba tofu, cabbage salad with yuzu pepper vinegar, red chicken karaage, and tomato cheese bake. The tomato cheese bake was a satisfying snack that paired well with shochu. The restaurant offers a wide selection of shochu and plum wine, making it a great place to enjoy drinks slowly. The service provided by the two male staff members and the female owner was outstanding, with attentive and friendly service. However, the cramped entrance and interior layout may deter some customers, which is a shame as a simple reorganization could greatly improve the overall impression of the restaurant.

I entered a small shop in a mixed-use building near Otsuka Furniture in Shinjuku. When I mustered up the courage to open the door, I was greeted by a cozy interior. As I placed my order and looked at the menu, the staff asked, "Is this your first time here?" When I confirmed that it was, they proceeded to recommend their specialties and today's recommendations. Despite the casual atmosphere of the shop, I was surprised by the restaurant-like service at the start. As someone with a background in restaurants, I found this service delightful and my expectations grew. They offer various types and grades of horse sashimi, from individual servings to assorted platters, providing a variety of options for enjoyment. As it is a Kyushu cuisine restaurant, there is a rich selection of menu items that pair well with alcohol. I also consulted with the staff to choose from the wide range of shochu available. This shop is a paradise for those who love alcohol. Highly recommended. I think it deserves an even higher rating.

I will use it often. Unlike other stores that start with beer, this one starts with sweet potato shochu, and first the staff explains the menu. The menu is centered around horse meat, and you can eat various parts! As other reviewers have mentioned, the liver sashimi is popular! If you make a reservation, it's better to request it in advance. When it comes to sweet potato shochu, they serve it with hot water, using Kurojoka from Kagoshima, and they have over 150 types of shochu, and over 60 types of plum wine, which is a dream for sake lovers! The original store is not designed like an izakaya, so you may be seated at the counter with two people. It's a bit narrow. There is no smoking area. Rare horse meat skewers, horse meat croquettes, horse meat sausage skewers, etc. are also recommended. Oh, there was only one type of sake haha.

In Tokyo, there are few places where you can eat delicious horse meat, but this restaurant is highly recommended. Although the interior is small and dark, the selection of shochu and the quality of the horse meat are excellent. Especially the liver sashimi is outstanding. It has a crunchy texture and no unpleasant smell. It can easily compete with what you would find in Kumamoto. The manager's hospitality is also wonderful. I believe that they are twins. Although the restaurant does not have high ratings on Tabelog, I hope they continue to do their best.

A child who loves raw meat from the company made a reservation and went to this restaurant. It is a horse specialty store. The sashimi is certainly delicious?! We ate super rare items like horse golden balls. I also had delicious horse sashimi in Kumamoto this year, but it was as delicious as that! There are also a lot of types of alcohol. However, I think both drinks and food are expensive.... Considering cost performance.... You may need a special reason to go....

The restaurant specialized in horse meat, so it was full of horse dishes. I tried horse sashimi, horse meat croquette, horse meat curry, and horse meat steak. I was recommended the horse sashimi by the staff, and I was surprised by how tender and sweet it was, without any gamey taste. I especially enjoyed the horse liver, which was delicious and had no unpleasant smell. The dishes were tasty, and the variety of shochu and plum wine was appealing. The only downside was the small and cramped space, but the staff's friendly and helpful service made up for it. Overall, it was a great experience and I found horse meat to be delicious.
