$$ Kumamoto Japanese

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Basashi—raw horse meat— is a populuar dish in Kumamoto, and at Suganoya it is their specialty. You can get it served in all its forms: there's a starter of raw tidbits with garlic, ginger, and assorted dunking sauces; or a finale of hari-hari nabe, a soup of thinly sliced delicately flavored meat and vegetables cooked in a folded-paper vessel.
