HERO Umi Kumamotoekiten

Well, if you are in Kumamoto, and you would like to try something new, you should definitely try basashi (raw horse meat), assuming you can get over the mental hurdle imagining yourself chewing a horse. Unfortunately I did not come at lunch as this restaurant has very reasonably priced basashi set m...enu. At dinner time you only get to sample basashi pretty much as a "side dish", i.e. small portions. I ordered the akami (the leanest part) and it looked like raw tuna but more chewy. It does go well with seafood don.
