-History of it
The most famous story why people start eating horse is related to battles between some Japanese areas. Before Japan became one country, there were so many Kuni which means country within such a small island. Sometime wars happened between kuni. Through the history,one big fight, it was at 1529, one military run out their food. Then, the leader decided to eat horses which solider ride on to win.
You may not feel like trying it. However I can say the taste is so good!!! It is different from beef, pork, chicken... I think it is more lighter and more fresh. Actually, even in Japan, some people against eating horse. The reason is because we have been friendly with horse through long history for example hours could help us in the field of agriculture and battle. Thus, our relationship is like the one between us and dogs... There is some conflict over the matter.
Still, it is Yum!!
