Eating raw meat — including horse meat — is common.
In addition to raw fish (hello sushi and sashimi) you'll see people eating raw beef and, on occasion, raw horse meat. While controversial, raw horse meat is well known as a Japanese delicacy called bashari.
Aren't you ... just a little ray of sunshine .
Hahaha!! Loser!!!
I've had it. It was delicious! My Japanese friends didn't tell me what it was until after I ate it.
#11 Beer in outdoor vending machines was a much appreciated surprise for me.
I am French, and you can get a horse tartare. (raw meat). It minced meat with capers, onions and various other seasonings.
And it tastes great.
