1.squid soup

2.Horse sashimi

There are various theories about the origin, but there is a theory that Kiyomasa Kato spread it to the territory Higo Kumamoto in the event of food shortages. The texture and taste of each part is varied. In addition to sashimi, yakiniku, smoked and shabu-shabu are now eaten nationwide. It is also called “Sakura” because the cut surface is cherry-colored.

3.A round of people
A local dish in Kumamoto Prefecture that is eaten with a vinegar miso with a vinegar miso wrapped in ice water with a broom. In Kumamoto, the name “Wakegi” is called “Homoji” and it is said to have been given this name because it wraps around. It’s not true that you can find this person in the pub of Kumamoto. This is because it takes a lot of time because it is necessary to wind it one by one. The texture of green onion with vinegar miso is perfect for sake. It is one of the local dishes that represent Kumamoto together with the hot pepper lotus root.
