#throwback to finally taking the ferry from Kagoshima to Amami to renew my visa (can't be done on the island) It takes about 13 hours from Naze one way and time surprisingly flew by. The ferry runs between Kagoshima City and Okinawa and runs pretty much everyday. A little bit of rocking but lots of good time for reading, watching sunsets, and stargazing on the top deck. #鹿児島 #奄美 #フェリー #桜島 #japan #kagoshima #amami #ferry #sakurajima (at Kagoshima, Kagoshima) https://www.instagram.com/p/CrEDhelpPpg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A lovely weekend w/ my boo Unreal local Aobudai, squid, octopus, and tuna sashimi with sea grapes seaweed at Banya in Tatsugo Saigo Matsu Senbei and from the spot where Saigo Takamori landed in Amami via a sugar boat in 1859 to start his years of forced imprisonment. This area of Tatsugo is where he discovered the exploitation of the Amami people to fund the modernization of the Satsuma Domain and all of Japan. We also rolled by Andagi-ya in Naze for their most excellent homemade donuts, referred to as "Andagi" here and in Okinawa. #奄美大島 #刺身 #西郷どん #海ぶどう (at 漁師料理番屋) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq2CxhwJdre/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#fbf to some bomb noms chicken keema curry at @bez_noshi - tucked away in a second floor nook in Kagoshima City. For desert, we went to the OG Toraya Sweets Shop in Kagoshima city. This shop has been open since 1917 and the 3rd generation granny running the counter was sweeter than the giant chestnut/green pea dorayaki that we bought. (黄虎：栗入りうぐいす餡) Also, TYVM to Seiko for making amaaaazing tonkatsu, shirasu pizza, and feeding my kinpira gobo addiction. #鹿児島 #鹿児島市 #鹿児島グルメ #鹿児島ランチ #カレー #キーマカレー #きんぴらごぼう #白子 #ピザ #食べ物 #スイーツ #虎屋 #どら焼き #うぐいす餡 #大正6年 #kagoshima #kagofancreator #kagoshimacity #curry #keema #bezcurry #food #lunchtime #lunch #toraya #dorayaki #whitebait #pizza #kinpira (at Kagoshima, Kagoshima) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqdAYbCpLWz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#tbt Congrats to Cocoa, the pet goat of Ikeji Elementary and Junior High School on Ukejima Island for giving birth to not one, but two new babies! No one knows who the father is but welcome Milk and Oreo to the world! I know this is the hard-hitting, up-to-the-minute kind of content that you came here for and of course we played with these baby goats while my friends took drone videos from atop Mt. Oyama's Miyochondake. #奄美大島 #奄美 #請島 #ヤギ #山羊 #子山羊 #可愛い #鹿児島 #池地 #島暮らし #自然 #ミルク #オレオ #japan #amami #amamioshima #island #islandlife #kagoshima #babygoat #nature #ukejima #milk #oreo #ikeji #cute (at 瀬戸内町) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqHrhdvJAx1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Kirishima Shrine, deep in the Kagoshima mountains, has been destroyed by volcanoes constantly since the 14th century and the current structure was built in 1715. This site is believed to be where the grandson of Amaterasu (the sun goddess that created Japan by spinning a diamond-encrusted trident) dropped from the heavens to rule earth. He, Ninigi no Mikoto, brought with him a sword, a mirror, and a gem. After marrying a local princess, he became a mortal and the grandfather of first emperor of Japan, Jimmu. #鹿児島 #霧島 #霧島神宮 #室町時代 #火山 #瓊瓊杵尊 #歴史 #神社 #鳥居 #kagoshima #kagofancreator #kagofan #kirishima #kirishimashrine #shrine #japan #japantravel #japanese #history #niniginomikoto #volcano #kyushu #torii (at 霧島神宮) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqEolBBy6cL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While going to harvest Aosa seaweed last week, I came upon a huge cluster of Katsuonokanmuri or Velella velella stranded all over Yadori Beach. This strange cnidarian species lives on the surface of the ocean and eats mostly plankton. If touched, the nematocyst toxin can cause severe itching in some people, especially those who confuse it for seashells. Anyways, I harvested the tasty Aosa, made some carbonara, and got to see my amazing friend @gatomoko perform with the also amazing @gggeeennnsss at @resonecchavilla Trying my best to enjoy these last few months on Amami Oshima 🎶✌️☺️ #奄美大島 #奄美 #瀬戸内 #カツオノカンムリ #やどり浜 #鹿児島 #生き物 #アオサ #収穫 #カルボナーラ #自家製 #ライブ #音楽 #ミヤタトモコ #嘉鉄 #amami #amamioshima #japan #velellavelella #beach #ocean #aosa #seaweed #carbonara #livemusic #music #setouchi #kagoshima #kagofan #nature (at ヤドリ浜) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp__aKNJfL6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#tbt to the closing ceremony of the #kagofancreator program and this lovely performance by Kagoshima's own @koito_sumiyoshi Also, props to @bachandpicasso for their pistachio cheesecake vending machine outside the bakery (for when you need a cheesecake at 4AM). Also, their Florentines made with Kikaijima flat beans and sesame were very lovely. Other notable Kagoshima adventures include finally making it to the Kagoshima Art Museum and seeing Dali's The Triangular Hour in person. I recreated this with cut out tiny pieces of magazines in high school and it was wild to see in up-close. Lastly, in Aira, we stopped at this random burger place called Dante that specialized in jaw-meat burgers and they had a framed picture of Tupac on the wall. Seiko found four-leaf clovers outside with random little girls. GD Japan coming hard with the randomness sometimes. #鹿児島 #チーズケーキ #自動販売機 #鹿児島市 #スイーツ #フロランタン #喜界島 #そら豆 #美術館 #サルバドールダリ #姶良 #バーガー #あご肉 #kagoshima #kagofan #kagoshimacity #dondonkagoshima #japan #japanesefood #cheesecake #vendingmachine #florentines #sweets #dance #favabeans #kikaijima #burger #jawmeat (at 鹿児島サンロイヤルホテル) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp2kh1iyNw4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aji no Roppaku (@roppaku689 ) has been humbly tucked away in Kagoshima City's Tenmonkan area since 1991 and is home to the very best tonkatsu pork cutlet that I've ever had in my life. Kagoshima is famous for its Kurobuta black pork, which is a mix of pigs that came from Amami and Okinawa 400 or so years ago and Berkshire pigs from England. The name "Roppaku" is a reference to the six white markings on their four limbs, snout and tail and the flavor of the free-range pork is sweet. This restaurant offers the option between the Roppaku pork and Chami-ton pork, which is a variety of pork that is fed mostly Kagoshima sweet potatoes and then fed tea 2 months before processing. Afterwards, we had gyoza bread from Sumomo Bakery and Guatemalan coffee at Nanban #鹿児島 #豚 #黒豚 #食べ物 #六白 #茶美豚 #豚肉 #美味しい #天文館 #とんかつ #kagoshima #japan #japanesefood #food #kagofan #pork #roppaku #pig #porkcutlet #tenmonkan #japanese #cutlet #delicious #visitjapanjp #black #kurobuta #meat (at 六白黑豚) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpzvtwrJXKM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
