Another of the restaurant's popular offerings is their kurobuta papaya-don, which features a bowl of rice topped with lots of Amami Oshima kurobuta pork, mozuku seaweed, and papaya.

奄美大島の郷土料理が食べれるお店です。どの料理も普通に美味しく、値段もリーズナブルで飾らないお店です。個人的には、けいはんと油ソーメンおすすめです。お通し（席代）は、正直なくてもよいかと思ってしまいました。

This restaurant serving island cuisine is located along Yanigawa-dori Street, the biggest shopping district on Amami Oshima Island. Guests can enjoy the island's regional cuisine while not just watching but also participating in shima uta (local folk songs) and hachigatsu odori (August dance) performances.

She performs the songs while playing a chijin, a style of drum unique to the region. She says that she opened the restaurant and performs there because so many people had requested her shima uta performance.

奄美初めての人には雰囲気を感じてもらえるのでお勧めのお店です。名物女将と三線と参加型の島踊り？(笑)これがいやでも盛り上がる。料理も以前より美味しくなっていると思いました。料金も他店より安い。女将のおもてなしの心が伝わります。

Kagoshima Ibusuki-shi Kaimonsenta 80

Tosenkyo Gorge, so named because its deep cove was long ago used as a port for the ships of Japanese envoys to China, is a ravine where 100,000 tons of spring water gushes forth per day. Guests at this restaurant can enjoy somen nagashi served in this famous spring water all year long. Somen nagashi refers to thin wheat noodles served in a circular trough of flowing cold water. Somen nagashi is said to have originated when Inoue Hironori, an assistant official of Kaimon Town (now a part of Ibusuki City), created the first water pressure-powered revolving somen nagashi trough. Because the gorge's spring water stays a constant 13 degrees Celsius, the noodles are refreshingly chilly in the summer and can even be eaten cold in a warm room in the winter. Other dishes served by the restaurant include water-chilled carp sashimi, fried carp, salt-grilled rainbow trout, and more.

This is a unique experience. You order noodles (and anything else you like, its all good). You place the noodles in the running water where theyre separated and flowing, and then you take them out...

Kagoshima Areas

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
