It had been years since I last visited Kojimaya. Before the pandemic, I used to go there often, but I had drifted away because it was hard to get a reservation. Today, for some reason, my companion said they wanted to eat horse meat, so I decided to call the restaurant just in case. Surprisingly, they had plenty of availability! What a stroke of luck! I ordered the course menu for the first time. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the horse meat dish. Nonetheless, I got to enjoy the delicious horse meat just like before!

This is the place I think of when it comes to horse meat! The horse meat here is so delicious. I'm not a fan of liver, but the liver here doesn't have any unpleasant smell and is very tasty. Not only the sashimi, but also the horse meat grill is healthy and easy to eat. I definitely want to visit again.

During a dinner with a business partner. Horse meat? A specialty...? I've had horse meat before, but I only know how to eat it as sashimi, and I'm not a huge fan of it either. So, I was a bit puzzled when choosing it for a business dinner. However, everything made sense in the end. First of all, the horse meat is flown in fresh from Kumamoto in the morning. I was surprised by the amount of horse sashimi that came out. But that was just the beginning. The horse dishes kept coming. Boiled horse meat. Horse meat mixed with natto. Horse meat udon... Among them, the main dish of horse yakiniku was amazing! The meat was so tender that you could eat it as sashimi while grilling it. It was soft and delicious... And the dipping sauce for the yakiniku was incredibly tasty! Finally, they even served the Kumamoto specialty, Ikinari dango. I feel like I had a strange experience. It's not the type of place I would visit often, but I want to take someone there and say, "See? Horse meat is good, right?"

This restaurant is a place we often visit to celebrate family occasions. Whether it's a birthday, passing an exam, or getting a new job, my father always takes us there for a special meal. We are regular customers, so we often receive complimentary desserts like sweet bean ice cream and freshly made rice cakes, and the staff are always very friendly. As someone born in Kyushu, I am happy to find such a place in Tokyo. Despite being located in a prime spot in Ginza, the prices are reasonable and the food is incredibly delicious. I brought my partner here for their birthday for the first time. My partner loves horse sashimi and was thrilled with the quality of the horse meat dishes, especially the horse grill. They were impressed by how delicious it was and the meat was tender with no gamey taste. The horse sashimi is all so tasty, it's hard not to overeat. The tongue sashimi is also a standout dish with its smooth texture, slight crunch, and hint of sweetness. The light sauce on the horse grill is also delicious, but the recipe is a secret. The horse meat is not greasy at all, so you can eat as much as you want. We will definitely come back for another celebration in the future.

Today, I visited a horse meat specialty restaurant called "Kojimaya" in Ginza. I was surprised to find such a place in Ginza! The atmosphere was stylish and the restaurant was very user-friendly. I opted for the 5500 yen course this time. The meal included: - Appetizers - Horse sashimi - Hormone simmered in consomme - Assorted horse meat grill (top skirt meat and top rib meat) - Cherry blossom udon I was amazed by the portion size of the horse sashimi for one person! The horse meat, flown in daily from Kumamoto, was sweet and melted in my mouth. The horse meat grill was also delicious, with a nice charred flavor. Although the course had a modest number of dishes, I left feeling satisfied. I'm curious about the "Ketobashi Natto," so I'd like to try the 7700 yen course next time. The bill came out to exactly 10,000 yen per person. With its good cost performance, convenient location, and pleasant atmosphere, this restaurant is perfect for adult gatherings. While I also like horse sashimi at "Bob Lee" in Shinbashi, I think Kojimaya takes the cake. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I ordered a la carte at a horse meat specialty store and had horse sashimi, horse liver sashimi, horse salad, and horse grill with top skirt, top kalbi, top hormone, tendon stew, and finished with udon. The horse sashimi was fresh and delicious! The horse liver sashimi was also delicious but the portion was small... I would be happier if it was cut larger. The horse grill was all very delicious, especially the recommended skirt grill which was chewy and tasty. We also had Kumamoto's sake.

This is a rare restaurant where you can eat horse meat yakiniku. Horse sashimi is famous, but horse yakiniku is not often heard of. It is valuable to be able to taste various parts of the horse. There is no smell at all, and it is refreshing, so you can eat as much as you want. There are also other dishes available, so I think you can enjoy it with drinks!

When you enter the road next to the Hermes building at Sukiyabashi (called SONY Street), you will see several Kumamoto-related restaurants and bars. Kojimaya is located on the 2nd floor of the building, so make sure to check the ground-level sign so you don't miss it. It's a very cozy adult izakaya-style place that I have visited at least four times. I come here when I want to eat delicious horse meat in a moderate amount, not too heavy, or when I want to have dinner with my meat-loving friends. My go-to order is a beer or highball with the ¥5500 course. The course includes appetizers, horse sashimi, homemade spicy lotus root, hormone simmered in consomme, assorted horse meat grill, rice or cherry blossom udon, and homemade sweet potato dumplings. Of course, everything from the motsu (offal) to the udon broth is made with horse meat. The restaurant and the food overall have something different from regular horse meat places, and upon research, I found out that the manager, who is originally from Kumamoto, had 18 years of experience in Western-style restaurants. That explains the stylish vibe of the place. The horse sashimi here is sweet, tender, and without a strong horse-like smell, making it easy and enjoyable to eat. The transparent sauce, based on Amakusa's natural salt, pairs well with the horse meat, preserving its natural sweetness. The spicy lotus root is also delicious, and even though I haven't had it in its hometown, I thought, "Is this what it tastes like there?" The cherry blossom udon for the finish has a tasty broth, and the thin noodles are just right. The dessert of sweet potato dumplings is a delightful surprise. I'm starting to feel like visiting again soon (laughs).

I was taken to this restaurant because I mentioned that I like horse meat. The interior was darker and had a cozy atmosphere compared to the photos I saw on Tabelog. It seemed to be their popular course, and I was able to enjoy horse meat in various ways, which was fantastic! There were two types of horse sashimi, one with flavorful lean meat and the other with marbled fatty meat that melted in your mouth. Both were rich in flavor without any unpleasant smell and very tender. It was the best horse sashimi I've ever had. The horse liver sashimi had a unique crunchy texture, and it paired well with salt and sesame oil, making it moist and delicious. Mixing natto and yukke together was a first for me, but they surprisingly complemented each other well. And the horse meat yakiniku was amazing. I had the impression that horse meat tends to become tough when grilled, but it was incredibly tender and moist, which impressed me. The juicy fat made me happy. The special salt sauce from the restaurant was simple but incredibly delicious, I couldn't stop eating it. Lastly, I had udon noodles in a delicious broth. It reminded me of the Goto udon I had in Nagasaki, but it had a soft and gentle flavor. I was truly satisfied, and I would love to come back here for horse meat dishes in terms of taste and value for money.

I had horse meat for the first time in my life! It was surprisingly not gamey, had a sweetness to it, and was very delicious. When it comes to horse meat in Ginza, I highly recommend this restaurant. The interior was cozy but lacked brightness and a sense of openness, so it may not be suitable for those concerned about COVID-19. We visited at 5:30 pm when they opened and there was only one other group there. The staff were all friendly and patiently taught us how to enjoy the horse meat. I would love to visit this restaurant again soon. It would be great if they offered a takeout menu as well. ♡

This is my favorite restaurant that I visit every few months. The taste is always consistently delicious. The prices are a bit high, but I don't think there are many places where you can eat horse meat of this quality. Both the horse sashimi and grilled horse are amazing. I plan to continue visiting this place from time to time.

First visit to a restaurant recommended by a friend. It was my first time trying horse meat yakiniku, and it was surprisingly delicious with no gamey taste at all. We ordered the premium hump meat, top kalbi, and premium tongue. All of them were very tasty. The hump meat seems to be popular, but personally, I preferred the kalbi for its lean and tender texture. My friend, on the other hand, liked the hump meat more. The yakiniku dipped in salt sauce was exceptional. Additionally, horse meat apparently has half to one-third of the calories of beef, making me prefer it over beef yakiniku. I was very satisfied with the taste. The horse sashimi was also really delicious. For the finale, we had the famous cherry blossom udon. It looked like chilled noodles, but when you eat it, it has a nice chewy texture with a strong horse broth flavor. I really want to go back again.

I have been going to this restaurant for about 8 years. It's difficult to make a reservation, so the frequency of visits varies, but the taste of the horse meat is always outstanding and delicious! Their specialties are horse sashimi and grilled dishes like Genghis Khan style. It is recommended to enjoy them with white rice in between. The usual way to finish off the meal is with their cherry blossom udon.

There are plenty of restaurants where you can eat raw horse meat, but not many where you can eat horse barbecue. This is one of the few horse barbecue specialty shops. From horse sashimi to horse yukhoe, raw horse liver, and horse barbecue, it's a paradise for horse meat lovers. The popular restaurant is crowded from early hours.

The horse meat here is really delicious and has a great texture!

I ordered a la carte, but it seems like the other party had decided on the dishes to order in advance. - Appetizer: Horse meat stew - Horse meat salad - Horse sashimi - Horse meat grill - Spicy lotus root - Dessert - Horse meat soup It was enjoyable to try various parts of horse meat. The horse meat soup really warms up the body.

I received a course meal. Both the horse sashimi and the grilled dishes were delicious. I didn't like the garlic chives in the grilled vegetables, so it would have been nice to have just bean sprouts or onions instead. I definitely want to go again!

The horse won, the cow lost. That's the feeling. I didn't expect horse meat to be this delicious! It's really tasty. The udon also has a good flavor with a rich broth. The sweet potato dessert at the end has a unique taste that you can't find anywhere else!

The horse meat here doesn't have any strong taste, whether it's raw, grilled, or stewed. The sauce is also amazing.

Delicious restaurant. The landlady is so busy that she serves with a poker face, but it's not a bad thing (lol).
