This is a picture of my mother, her brother, and my grandparents. It was taken in 1964, and hard to tell but my mother was pregnant with me and my dad was in Viet Nam. I found this in a box while Decluttering. I lost touch with my Family in Japan and I’m starting my search. Maybe someone will recognize this photo. Sir name is Mori. #memories #vintagephotos #myfamily #japanesefamily #lookingformyfamily #kagoshimajapan🇯🇵 #kagoshimajapan #hautemodesty #mori (at Downtown San Jose) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWn89uKJHdS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Seiko and I took a trip to Kirishima to dine at the incomparable Sakamoto Kurozu @tsubobatake Overlooking the bubbling volcanic Sakurajima, this unique Kagoshima spot is both a restaurant and a factory, complete with a "field" of earthenware Tsubo pots filled with aging "black vinegar". This Kurozu vinegar has been made here for more then 200 years using only steamed rice, koji yeast, and water. I went for the "Premium Lunch", which came with a very tasty apple cider vinegar drink paired with vinegar-soaked jellyfish, roasted ham, and sesame chicken. The main dish was a sweet and sour Subuta Kagoshima pork and a salad with black vinegar dressing. There is also black vinegar sitting on the table if you'd like to add it to any of these Chinese-style dishes. After we ate, we went to the factory gift shop and tried all the different vinegars. It is interesting how they mellow out as the years go by. I definitely recommend the 5 year barrel aged! #鹿児島 #黒酢 #坂本 #壺 #畑 #桜島 #九州 #南国 #中華 #料理 #美味い #酢豚 #kagoshima #kagofancreator #sakamotokurozu #kirishima #vinegar #blackvinegar #kurozu #rice #pot #fermentation #chinese #food #kagoshimajapan #kyushu #japanese #sweetandsour #pork #japan (at 坂元のくろず｢壺畑｣情報館＆レストラン) https://www.instagram.com/p/CliRXL4y8Ts/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We ventured to the Osumi Peninsula in eastern mainland Kagoshima Prefecture to @canyoningsarugajyotarumizu to learn how to make baumkuchen over a campfire! The process was really simple and fun and we added granulated sugar and cinnamon to our pancake batter to jazz up the flavor. First, cover the bamboo stick with aluminum foil and burn it so that the foil sticks firmly. Next, pour batter over the foil while spinning the stick. Once the batter is uniform, rotate over the flame until it gets dark and crispy. Then repeat. After you've created multiple layers, you can pull the baumkuchen off the stick while spinning it. Then cut it into slices and voilà! You have baumkuchen (German for "tree cake"). We covered ours in some Kentucky lavender honey :) Highly recommended for any campfire and be sure to roast each layer until it is very crispy🔥 #鹿児島 #垂水 #森 #バウムクーヘン #体験 #スイーツ #焚き火 #手作り #菓子 #大隅半島 #japan #kagoshima #kagofancreator #kagofan #tarumizu #campfire #baumkuchen #fire #experience #sweets #cinnamon #honey #homemade #forest #osumi #peninsula #visitjapan #kagoshimajapan #kyushu #natural (at 猿ヶ城渓谷 森の駅たるみず) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck-FDS7Jv3T/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Right near Amami airport, we rolled over to Higo Nōen 肥後農園 in Kasari, where we can buy fresh Kokuto black sugar directly at the farm where it was grown. The farmer even gave Atsuko a sugar cane stick so that we could suck the raw cane juice out of it. It was a tasty snack to enjoy on the way to @sangobeachjapan in Yamato-son for BBQ times. 🍖 #奄美 #奄美大島 #一から #黒糖 #砂糖 #笠利 #鹿児島 #南国 #農園 #直売 #日本 #制作 #サトキビジュース #bbq #バーベキュー #amami #amamioshima #kasari #kokuto #black #sugar #farm #farmlife #kagoshimajapan #kagoshima #kagofancreator #kagofan #visitjapan #barbecue #islandlife (at 奄美大島) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjR15rgJqIp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The best presents are always homemade and these chewy Hoshigaki dried persimmons that @life_for_pianos made were amaaaaaaaazing❤️❤️ Without a doubt, the most delicious persimmons that I have ever eaten and of course I shared them with a couple dear friends. Also, I received these amazing @lotte_chocolate_specialties.jp YOIYO single malt whiskey chocolates made from this Komagatake Yakushima Aging whiskey resting at the Shinshu Mars Distillery in Nagano. A delectable delight. #鹿児島 #プレゼント #柿 #干し柿 #美味い #美味しい #自家製 #果物 #スイーツ #ウイスキー #チョコ #チョコレート #屋久島 #マーズ #yoiyo #kagoshimajapan #japan #japanese #persimmon #dried #sweets #whiskey #chocolate #yakushima #lotte #hoshigaki #homemade #mars #delicious #choco (at 瀬戸内町) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWV4rJkhS7S/?utm_medium=tumblr

#tbt to goofin' in Yamato Village and running into this Geograpsus grayi (Little Nipper) crab in Kuninao Village while trying (and failing for like the 9th time) to go eat sumomo plum ice cream. On the way, we ate some local dragonfruit, an unreal bacon and tomato panini from Pace, and went to go see @chaz_eiga at Ohama Beach (which was awesome!) After, we hit up the very cool Taishi art show at @kana_du_nishihira #奄美大島 #奄美 #世界遺産 #大和 #カニ #かくれいわがに #ドラゴンフルーツ #地元 #鹿児島 #果物 #自然 #パニーニ #アート #amami #amamioshima #kagoshimajapan #crab #japan #japanese #animal #nature #dragonfruit #local #art #nature #worldheritage #littlenipper #crabs #beach #panini (at 国直海岸) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTmjfR3l8Cq/?utm_medium=tumblr
