Lots of local foods of Amami island !
I went to the supermarket near my hotel after having dinner.
Green store Irifune branch is located close to my hotel and it is open for 24 hours.
ごはんを食べた後はスーパーへ。ホテルの近くにある、24時間営業のスーパー。
I like visiting local supermarkets , but mostly they sell similar foods and drinks to supermarkets in my city. But Amami is remote island !
There are so many foods and drinks that I hadn’t met ! I was excited !
さすが離島。見たことのないものがいっぱい。･･･ネバリ･･･ハージン？
Fishes that I hadn’t met ever…
Blue fusiliner is a fish mainly caught around Amami.
見たことのない魚。。。ウンギャルマツ･･･アオダイという正式名称らしいです。
And delicatessen.
Abura-somen
Aburasoba is well-known. But it seems to be differ from it a bit. It looks like chanpuru that is one of Okinawa local food.
そうめんチャンプルーに似た油ぞうめんも。知らないのいっぱい！そういえば、滞在中、鶏飯以外ローカルなもの全然食べてない(ﾉ∀`)
Butamiso (miso with pork) and sakanamiso (miso with fish). It seems sweet.
豚みそと魚みそ。甘そう(ﾉ∀`)
It’s regrettable that I didn’t have local food except keihan that time. I have to go there again…
This is the local drink named “Miki” made from rice, sugar and sweet potatoes. I tried it. It is similar to amazake.
ミキというお米を発酵させて作った飲み物。米、砂糖、サツマイモを発酵させて作った飲料。甘酒に似ている。
Having them in the hotel room might be a good choice, too 🙂
