Delicious Amamian Cuisine
Nestled in a world of its own, Amami has cultivated a unique culinary culture over centuries as a trading hub between China, Okinawa, and mainland Japan. Explore local delicacies like keihan, abura somen, and omiki, or savor the flavors of Western dishes made with the freshest local ingredients. Whether it's seafood or farm produce, the island has it all. Enhance your half-day or full-day tour with a yummy lunch or dinner.
For an even more memorable experience, consider inviting an utasha to sing traditional island music accompanied by the sanshin, all while enjoying local cuisine. And to top it off, a bottle of Amami liquor is readily available to complete the perfect experience.
