鹿児島県·特産品

Izumi Chicken

The golden-brown skin is crispy and fragrant, while the meat inside is moist and juicy. With every bite, the savory umami and sweetness of the chicken burst forth. Even a simple salt-grilled preparation delivers this incredible flavor. Kagoshima is a powerhouse in poultry production, boasting one of the highest numbers of broiler chickens in Japan. Utilizing its warm climate and vast farmlands, poultry farming has been actively practiced here. In various parts of the prefecture, including Izumi, chickens are raised with great care. The hallmark of Kagoshima chicken is its meaty texture and tenderness. When fried as karaage, it becomes juicy; when served as tataki (seared), its clean umami stands out beautifully. Grilled, fried, or in a hot pot—it is a reliable delicacy that accompanies your daily dining table.
