Ota City, Tokyo, Japan｜Umatora

《Omori's horse meat specialty izakaya! If you know the horse meat here, you may not be able to eat it elsewhere. . . 》 It's been a long time since I visited Umatora, an izakaya specializing in horse meat that both my father and I love. Since it opened in December 2013, it is the 10th anniversary this year. Previously, it was full on weekday nights, so this time I made an online reservation about two days ago. It was around 18:00 on Sunday, but there were already some customers here and there. The interior of the store is dimly lit, and there are three types of seats as soon as you enter: private rooms, table seats, and counter seats. Until now, it was a private room, but this time it was the first time to use a table seat. "What I asked for" There is also a pretty good course, but on this day we used a la carte. ・Kaku Highball ・ Appetizer (cucumber and meat miso *free refills) Even though it's an appetizer, I love this meat miso. . . It contains large chunks of minced meat, and it seems like you'll end up eating endless amounts of cucumbers. ・Umatora Salad I always order the Umatora Salad when I come here. Horse meat tataki with plenty of toppings and garlic chips in a Japanese-style dressing. Under 1,000 yen for this volume is a masterpiece. ・Chinese cabbage and salted kombu dressing ・Cherry meat yukhoe This is one of the restaurant's popular signboard menus. Horse meat Yukhoe mixed with sauce and egg yolk. The standard yukhoe is beef, but I'm definitely a horse meat fan because it doesn't have the peculiarity or smell of beef. ・Assortment of 5 kinds of carefully selected horse sashimi (thigh, ribs, tenderloin, loin, tataki) You can order each piece of horsemeat sashimi separately, but I thought that 6 pieces would be a little too much for 2 people, so I ordered an assortment of 2 pieces that you can enjoy in various ways. If you order it as it is, it will probably include a fat-like part called koune, but I'm not good at it, so I asked you to remove it. Freshness you can see. It is moist and delicate on the tongue, and lean meat and short ribs have completely different tastes. This is a dish that I would definitely recommend not only to first-timers, but also to anyone who comes to Umatora. Although I'm in Tokyo, I've eaten basashi at various restaurants, but I don't think there's any better basashi than here. ・Live horse lever I was surprised by the color, but I thought that I could eat raw horse meat liver in Tokyo, so I ordered it a little timidly, and it was the correct answer. It has a crunchier texture than beef liver. The taste is simple, but the taste and richness are elegant. According to an article by a walking expert, the horse meat is purchased directly from the factory. Hence this freshness. As I mentioned earlier, once you eat the horse meat here, you will never be satisfied with anything else. . . Lol This may be an overstatement, but this is really the only place in Tokyo where you can enjoy horse meat so deliciously without getting bored. ○○ specialty shops can get boring halfway through, but there are many original menus, and there are various cooking methods and flavors, so it's great for people who don't usually eat horse meat or who no longer eat horse meat. It is also recommended for those who are fully satisfied with their debut. There is a large selection of sake and shochu, and there is also a reasonably priced course menu, so I think it is very convenient for small to large groups. There are also horse meatballs, deep-fried horse meat, horse meat nigiri and diced steak, and many other menus that you will be interested in until the end. If it's winter, you'll also want to try yuzu salt pot and sukiyaki. I would like to use it again because it is nearby. Thank you for the meal!

I went to Umatora with my friends! I chose the all-you-can-drink course, but the alcohol was delicious and the food was delicious 😌 I chose the cheap course, so the amount was a little unsatisfactory, but... I think it's a good shop for smokers because you can smoke inside! ! 🚬

This is a super delicious horse sashimi restaurant. It also comes with a tag with your name on it, so you don't lose track of what's what when you're eating. We have a lineup of items that go well with alcohol!
