Aso beef, the best meat in Kyushu

Aso beef is beef raised in the vast natural environment of Aso.

I think Aso beef is the most delicious beef in Kyushu, and the best way to eat it is

grilled over charcoal.

Eating Aso beef reminds me of the most delicious meat in the world I had in Argentina.

Takamori dengaku, local cuisine in Aso

Takamori dengaku is the local cuisine in Aso, which a dish created to make the sweet potatoes,

which can only be grown in this region, more delicious and last longer.

As part of Takamori’s culinary culture, it has remained the same since then, with the addition

of some ingredients.What we are particular about is that the condiments in Dengaku miso

are exposed to the sun and contain a lot of minerals that have been absorbed, making it

a dish that not only fills your stomach but also maintains your health by eating it.
