A Japanese restaurant where Fukushima and Aizu’s rare horse meat and local flavors come together.
Aizu Local Cuisine Tsuruga Koriyama Ekimae Branch is a Japanese restaurant specializing in Aizu local cuisine and horse meat. Aizu Brand-certified horse meat is delivered fresh daily from the Aizu Horse Farm. It is known for carrying on the kaiseki cuisine and horse meat food culture long passed down in the Aizu region.
The signature dish is “Sakura Nabe,” prepared in a sukiyaki style. It features a unique style that pairs top-grade horse short ribs with the restaurant’s special spicy mustard miso. The menu also includes a wide variety of dishes such as the “Aizu Brand Sakura Sashimi Assortment, 8 Varieties,” featuring rare cuts. One of the highlights is the chance to enjoy the highest-quality horse meat, which is generally not available through regular distribution. A popular set lets you sample traditional local dishes such as “Herring Pickled with Sansho Pepper,” “Simmered Dried Cod,” and “Tempura Manju” all at once. The restaurant also offers a wide selection of local Aizu sake, known from this renowned sake-producing region, for enjoyable food pairings.
The interior has a calm Japanese atmosphere. With 70 seats, it includes eight private rooms and tatami seating for up to 30 guests.
