Kurosatsumadori

Kurosatsumadori is a brand local chicken born from a native breed that Kagoshima takes pride in. Raised slowly, the meat has a firm texture, and the more you chew the more its deep savor and aroma unfold. It is typically enjoyed in dishes that draw out the ingredient, such as sashimi, tataki, and charcoal grilling.

Highlights

Smooth chicken sashimi is a food culture particular to Kagoshima. Tataki, with the surface briefly seared, is fragrant and pairs well with ginger, scallion, and sweet soy sauce. Grilled slowly over charcoal, the skin crisps while the meat stays juicy. It brings the satisfaction only a chewy local chicken can.

Enjoying the Seasons

In summer, charcoal grilling and a well chilled local brew are a superb match. In winter a warm hot pot lets the savor melt into the broth and warms the body. It can be enjoyed all year, and changing the drink you pair with each season is part of the fun.

Access and Basic Information

You can enjoy it at local cuisine and grilled skewer shops centered on Tenmonkan. Many are within walking distance of a tram stop, and some stay open late, perfect for an evening out on your travels.

A Quick Tip

Begin with chicken sashimi or tataki to taste the ingredient itself. The charcoal grill is best while it is still hot and the skin remains crisp.
