Here we have raw horse sashimi mixed with sesame oil and topped with a quail egg. Around the plate is Korean pear.
It looks like the morning sun, doesn’t it? The story goes that LPGA golfers would seek out horse sashimi places because it would help improve their game. I’m not sure if it works, but I do know that Koreans have won a butt load of golfing championships. Coincidence? Hmmmm…
Here are some of the banchan that comes with the dish.
We decided to pair this with a red wine. Not a bad match.
Here’s Rudy, he’ll tell you how it tastes.

If you are interested, here’s the number: 02-2297-3151
