Umaebisu
日本のお酒と馬肉料理 うまえびす
Tokyo Core · izakaya
Ebisu izakaya focused on horse meat and Japanese sake. Horse harami grilled with miso is their signature; they also run daytime weekend service (noon–3pm) for lunch drinkers. Small neighborhood spot with serious sake pairings.
I don't think many people from overseas have eaten horse meat, right? I'm really into it though. There aren't many good horse meat spots in Tokyo, but this place is different. The meat here is seriously excellent. Whether you grill it or eat it raw, you're getting top-quality stuff. They've got a solid selection of drinks too, and the neighborhood's got plenty of thoughtful spots around it.

What makes it special
Umaebisu centers on basashi (horse meat) — a regional delicacy treated here with respect. The harami with blended yuzu and saikyo miso gets praise in the post as pairing perfectly with junmai sake. Weekend lunch service (12–3pm) is unusual for a horse-meat specialist, positioning it as a casual afternoon drinking spot rather than purely evening-focused. The course menu is reportedly popular.
