Umazakura (Shimotori Shop) (馬桜 下通り店 -うまざくら-)
4.5
This restaurant located in Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City serves local cuisine. They specialize in fresh and delicious fare featuring horse meat, a Kumamoto local favorite. You can try it raw sashimi style, steamed on a bamboo tray, or in a hot pot. They also have creative dishes you won't find at other shops like horse offal stew and Tataki (seared horse). They're famous for their horse steaks, which are particularly juicy when rare.

Review of Umazakura Kumamoto Shimotori
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating馬桜さんは、馬肉料理専門店です。
馬刺し・しゃぶしゃぶ、・すき焼き・焼肉・創作馬肉料理などが楽しめます。
馬肉ステーキコースを予約しておきました。
前菜は色んな郷土料理が揃っていて、美味しく楽しめました。
馬刺しはお口の中でとろけます、甘くて馬肉の旨味がストレートに伝わりますね。
ステーキは柔らかくて絶品!
お一人様用の特別コースということで、有り難いですね...

Kumamoto Areas

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
