About Basashi

Japan’s agriculture ministry records basashi among Yamanashi’s representative local foods. This recipe, provided by Takayo Yoda, presents thinly sliced raw horse meat with daikon radish, green shiso, ginger and Japanese leek, accompanied by soy sauce.

The ministry describes the meat as having delicate sweetness from its light fat. Ginger provides an aromatic accent, while soy sauce supplies the savoury dipping seasoning. The accompaniments are arranged around the sliced meat.

Daikon forms the base of the plate, followed by shiso and horse meat, with onion greens and ginger at the front. This is the documented Yamanashi presentation within a dish whose regional and household recipes vary.
