大衆酒場百萬馬力
Taishu Sakaba Hyakuman Bariki is a lively izakaya (Japanese pub) in the Shiroishi ward of Sapporo, Hokkaido, best known for its basashi (horse meat sashimi). A wide range is on offer, from lean cuts to richly marbled meat and rare cuts, and the sakura-niku (horse meat) is prized for being fresh and clean-tasting, without any gaminess. The kitchen also puts real care into seafood, including a rotating "fresh fish of the day," and the umasuji ponzu (horse tendon in citrus-soy sauce) is popular enough that regulars say the sauce alone is worth a drink. All-you-can-drink is a bargain at 500 yen for 30 minutes, and the staff are well regarded for their hospitality and attentiveness. There is both counter and table seating, and takeout is available.
