Horse sashimi walking and shopping experience

【Vivid Red, the Power of Aizu】 A gourmet shopping experience in the sacred land of 'basashi' in Sakashita

Walking through Aizubanshita Town, located in the center of the Aizu Basin, you'll see signs for 'basashi' everywhere. This place has prospered as a logistics hub since ancient times and has cultivated a unique horse meat culture. A dish adorned with its vivid 'red' transcends mere ingredients, symbolizing the vitality of Aizu.

■ The pleasure of luxurious 'shopping' while visiting butcher shops

The essence of the basashi experience in Sakashita lies in visiting the butcher shops scattered throughout the town.

• Freshness from the moment of preparation: As you pass through the shop's curtain, you'll find glossy horse meat skillfully prepared by artisans. The commitment to 'raw' that has never been frozen creates an astonishingly chewy, clingy texture.
• The magic of spicy miso: The Aizu style of eating involves dissolving 'spicy garlic miso' in soy sauce. The clear umami of the lean meat and the stimulation of the miso intertwine exquisitely, spreading a powerful flavor with every bite.

■ 'Gourmet in everyday life' that colors city walks

Buying your favorite cuts on the spot for your evening meal or as souvenirs. The sight of local people regularly seeking high-quality horse meat is a testament to the richness of this town.

Beloved as nourishment to survive the harsh winter, the soul of Aizu. Why not stroll through Sakashita Town in search of 'genuine lean meat' that embodies the pride of artisans?
