Ordinary horse meat frozen at home is not a substitute. Follow the package thawing directions, use a thoroughly washed and dried knife and board, and slice the chilled block 2 to 3mm thick across the grain. Serve immediately with onion, shiso, ginger, garlic, and sweet soy sauce, and do not leave or re-store uneaten raw meat.
