Basashi

Method

1. 1 Only use horse meat that meets raw consumption standards, has been frozen according to regulations, and has been kept continuously refrigerated.
2. 2 Keep the block of meat in the freezer until it is slightly firm on the surface so that it is easier to slice thinly.
3. 3 Slice very thinly with a sharp knife and arrange immediately on a cold plate.
4. 4 Grate the ginger, mince the garlic, and finely chop the scallions to use as a garnish.
5. 5 Serve with perilla leaves and a small bowl of soy sauce, dipping lightly so as not to overpower the meat's flavor.
