[Kumamoto Basashi Dot Com] A New Father's Day Staple for Health and Premium Dining Experiences! Announcing the "Top 10 Horse Sashimi Gifts Dads Would Want 2026" Ranking

RITA Foods Co., Ltd. (President and CEO: Shinya Inamoto, Headquarters: Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture), which operates the horse sashimi specialty store 'Kumamoto Basashi Dot Com' (https://kumamoto-basasi.com/), today announces the "Recommended Horse Sashimi Gift Ranking for Father's Day 2026," carefully selected by the specialty store.

【Why is "Horse Sashimi" Being Chosen for Father's Day Now?】

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in the Father's Day gift market from "things" like clothing and daily necessities to "experiences" that share delicious moments with family, and "premium gourmet foods" that people wouldn't normally buy for themselves.

Our gift shipment volume also significantly increased by 110% year-on-year.

There are three reasons behind this trend:

Matches the Health Consciousness of Seniors
Horse meat is high in protein and low in calories compared to beef and pork. It is also rich in iron and glycogen. Amidst growing awareness of healthy lifespans, it is gaining attention as a healthy food that embodies the family's wish for their loved ones to "stay healthy forever."

Elevates Evening Drinks with a "Sense of Occasion"
Fresh horse sashimi from its origin in Kumamoto offers a special feeling, transforming an evening drink for dads who enjoy alcohol into a moment of supreme relaxation.

Horse Meat's Unique "High-Quality Fat That Isn't Heavy"
Even dads who tend to avoid fatty meats as they age can enjoy horse meat's fat, which has a low melting point and dissolves at body temperature. Even marbled cuts are light and can be eaten without feeling heavy.

Based on these trends and customer feedback, this time we have selected a ranking that the specialty store confidently recommends, not just based on sales figures, but from three perspectives: "rarity," "presentation," and "health considerations."

Enjoy the contrast between melt-in-your-mouth marbled cuts and refreshing red meat, recreating an authentic horse sashimi full course at home as if dining at a restaurant.
