Suganoya Ginza Dori: Authentic Kumamoto Horse Meat Cuisine

Located in the natural beauty of Kumamoto and Aso, Suganoya boasts a vast private farm of approximately 900,000 tsubo, where they raise horses meticulously on nutrient-rich grass, pure water, and specially made organic fertilizers. The result is tender, flavorful horse meat. In a spirit of gratitude for the rarity of this delicacy—each horse only gives birth to one foal per year—the restaurant offers almost every part of the horse, including rare cuts.

The restaurant's commitment to horse meat allows them to expertly identify and prepare each cut in the most delicious way possible. Their menu is diverse, featuring signature dishes like "Fresh Horse Sashimi" and "Harihari Nabe," as well as unique items like "Rare Fried Belly Meat" and "Tongue Stew." They also offer a variety of course meals combining horse meat with other local Kumamoto ingredients.

Suganoya complements its horse meat dishes with a wide selection of drinks, including rare shochu from around Kyushu and local sake that is hard to find outside the region.
