    南海堂製菓が販売している黒糖丸ぼうろを、スーパーだいわで購入した。包装に記した農林水産賞受賞に惹かれた。黒糖がゴロと入り、ぼうろ自体は口の中で崩れ、食べ易かった

    離島にある商店のような店である。店内には菓子の他、商店で売る日曜雑貨、切手、煙草も販売していた。店番の婦人はご機嫌ななめであったが、小生がよそ者だからだろうか

Kagoshima Areas

around-area-map

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
