Kurobuta miso to put on rice balls for Saigo-Don

Mr. Wakamatsu, a guest who stayed with us the other day, sent us "Kurobuta Miso to put on rice balls for Saigo-Don"!

Mr. Wakamatsu is a genuine Satsuma native, born and raised in Kagoshima. He is also the great-grandson of Saigo Takamori's wife!

We had heard about Saigo and Satsuma from Mr. Wakamatsu, and he said he would send us this Kurobuta Miso! And later on, it really arrived!

This miso won the Grand Prix at the 62nd Japan Food Selection!

We will serve it at the next Tanabata event on July 7 (Sun.)! I am looking forward to eating it! Thank you, Mr. Wakamatsu!

Mr. Wakamatsu is currently working to promote the history and achievements of Satsuma and Takamori Saigo by running the K10 Cafe, a bronze statue observation hall of Takamori Saigo in Kagoshima City!

If you are ever in Kagoshima, please visit the K10 Cafe!
