Shochu, a spirit distilled from sweet potato, wheat, and more, was created in Kagoshima. It has since exploded in national popularity throughout Japan. In Kagoshima, there are many varieties of shochu for you to sip and discover your favorite during your vacation. Shochu distillery tours are a must-do activity for foodies who are curious about the production process. Don’t miss trying katsuo-no-tataki, or seared bonito sashimi, pork broth ramen, sticky rice cakes, and more. For the adventurous, torisashi, or chicken sashimi, is a popular menu item, featuring the freshest local chicken available. The food here is rooted in the traditional dishes of Japan, but has its own spin on many dishes.
