Roast Horse in Hiroo has long been a sanctuary for horse meat enthusiasts, and its recent renewal marks a bold return to form. Returning after a long hiatus, I found that the restaurant has successfully recaptured the magic that made it a legend since opening.
🥩 A masterful return to simplicity
The standout feature of this new chapter is the revival of the original vision under Shinya-san. Rather than overcomplicating dishes with unnecessary flair, the kitchen now focuses entirely on the purity of the ingredients. The horse meat is handled with such reverence that its natural, deep umami shines through in every bite, reminding us exactly why this spot became famous in the first place.
✨ Consistent quality and pure happiness
I arrived with a mix of anticipation and nerves, fearing the change might alter the soul of the experience. I am happy to report that my worries were unfounded; the quality remains exceptional. Each course is a testament to the chef’s skill, offering a dining experience that feels both familiar and deeply satisfying. It is rare to find a place that stays true to its roots so effectively.
💬 Verdict
Roast Horse has reclaimed its status as a must-visit destination. If you appreciate high-quality horse meat prepared with restraint and precision, this is the place to be. It is perfect for an intimate dinner with fellow foodies who value ingredient-forward cuisine over theatrics. I will certainly be returning much sooner next time.
