Amami Dining

Maasa* Local Amami Cuisine

* Maasa is the word in Amami dialect for delicious

Keihan (seasoned chicken and rice) is a local cuisine iconic of Amami and eaten on celebratory occasions or when welcoming guests. Somen noodles came to Amami in the late-Edo era (1603-1868). Each restaurant and home has its own particular arrangement, such as yuuzomen, where the noodles are stir-fried in broth and oil. Seafood is also abundant in Amami cuisine. Amami delicacies include terada clams called tobinnya.

奄美グルメ

まーさ、まーさ、奄美の郷土料理　

＊まーさ（＝美味しい）

奄美の代表的な郷土料理「鶏飯」は、お祝いごとや客人へのおもてなし料理。江戸後期に奄美に伝わったそうめん。出汁と油で炒めた「油ぞうめん」など、味付けはお店ごと、家庭ごとにアレンジされている。また、魚介類も豊富。奄美の珍味。「とびんにゃ」と呼ばれるテラダ貝、など。

The island is a 5-minute flight from Amami Airport. Upon taking-off, immediately get notice to prepare for landing! A circumnavigation of the island is approximately 48 km. Coral has been rising for 100,000 years and continues to do so even now, going up several millimeters every year. Coral reef terraces viewed from Hyakunodai Park are regarded as one of the 10 top scenes in Amami. Find materials and exhibits to learn about the reefs at the KIKAI Institute for Coral Reef Sciences, where study on the reefs continues to be ongoing.

奄美空港から飛行機でわずか5分程。離陸するとすぐに着陸の合図が！

島を一周すると約48km。10万年も前から珊瑚が隆起を繰り返し今も、年間数mmずつ隆起を続けている。奄美十景の一つ、百之台公園から望むと珊瑚礁段丘は圧巻。喜界島サンゴ礁科学研究所には、それらを学ぶ資料や展示、現在進行形で研究が続く。

The sound of the shamisen reverberates. It’s used in combination with the chijin (drum) and people sing shimauta island songs and dance in a circle. As night fell in the eisa festival experience, I felt tipsy and went outside to be greeted by a sky full of stars. Both the heart and mind were lightened by the mysteriousness of nature and being surrounded by smiling faces. Touring the Amami islands showed that each island is packed with its own charms.

三線の音が響く。チヂン（太鼓）に合わせて、島唄を歌い、輪になって踊る。奄美大島群島最後の夜は、エイサー体験で夜がふけ、ほろ酔い心地で外に出ると、満天の星空が広がる。
