Northern Taste(ノーザンテースト) was a Canadian bred, French trained racehorse that was active from 1973 to 1975.

Name Origin

After Teruya Yoshida won the horse at the auction, his father and head of the Shadai family, Zenya Yoshida, asked what Teruya wanted to eat when he got back to Japan. Replying "I want to eat sushi.", Zenya associated the sire of the horse, Northern Dancer, and sushi being an Hokkaido delicacy. He thought of "the taste of the north", translating to the name Northern Taste.
