Gane
From within the crispy fried batter, the fluffy sweetness of the sweet potato reveals itself. Its savory aroma and rustic charm make it impossible not to reach for just one more. 'Gane' is a local dish that has been cherished from southern Miyazaki Prefecture to Kagoshima Prefecture. It is a type of kakiage where thick-cut sweet potatoes and vegetables are coated in batter and deep-fried. Because its appearance resembles a crab, it came to be called 'gane'—the word for crab in the Miyakonojo and Kagoshima dialects. Since ancient times, it has been featured in New Year's cuisine and loved as an accompaniment to shochu, a snack with tea, or a treat for children. The recipe for the batter and the choice of ingredients vary from person to person, meaning every household has its own unique taste. This dish is like a piece of the warm dining tables of Southern Kyushu, served freshly fried.
