This place really only has one thing, and variations on ways to eat it: Horse
The service was great, we were seated quickly, and once we ordered, the food came out immediately: hot pot with fresh veggies and horse meat. We also got an order of horse sashimi, which was very much like beef but a little sweeter. Also, for adventure, we ordered the lighter colored sashimi dish, which we couldn't get a good translation of (using Google translate), and therefore didn't know exactly what we were were ordering. It turns out it's essentially fat back, which is just...raw fat. So, buyer beware, it's not for everybody.

THERE IS AN ENGLISH MENU!!!
As a tourist, I went early at opening to avoid the dinner crowd. The place looks super traditional, so I didn't want to be rude and be a bother when service gets busy. The interior looks like it hasn't changed in decades and probably so since the restaurant is over a hundred years!
Service was absolutely excellent. Obviously, I didn't speak any Japanese, so there were a lot of hand signs. When you first step in you gotta take your shoes off at the door and proceed inside where you'll be sitting on a long communal table. The japanese menu is already on the stove so you gotta ask for the English menu. It is definitely smaller than the Japanese menu but the key dishes are there. Sakuraniku standard, sirloin, or fillet. You gotta order rice separately, and the raw egg too (super important). The lady was really attentive to me and made the experience very comforting.
The meat is tender and cooked together with miso paste. Since it was empty the lady did the initial cooking for me to make sure I got the idea on what to do. Goes very well with the raw egg and rice. I did see that someone pured the raw egg into the pan once they finished and then poured the cooked egg and sauce over their rice. There isn't a spoon or something to scoop up the cooked eggs so I decided not to do it. Wasn't sure jf picking up the whole pan was disrespectful.
Overall a solid 10/10 experience!!

Ordered the Horse hotpot and I choose the Sirloin part.
Quality is excellent.
They also come with other nice ingredients, example scallops.
