The Charm of Horse Meat

Horse meat is a treasure trove of nutrients, boasting high protein, low calories, and rich in iron—making it an excellent choice for modern diets. It contains significantly more glycogen than beef and pork, which aids in fatigue recovery and enhances concentration. Its rich red meat flavor combined with a light sweetness from the fat creates a delightful culinary experience.

Historically, the horse symbolizes a favorable outcome in life, and its reverse spelling, "Sama," represents a symbol of good fortune. Kome to Circus brings you an uncommon opportunity to enjoy these rarely distributed parts, introducing customers to an exciting food culture.
