Aira Pork Bone Stew (Tonkotsu-ni)
This is the sweet and savory 'Tonkotsu-ni' passed down in Aira, indispensable for celebratory occasions. Tonkotsu-ni, made by slowly stewing bone-in pork with miso and brown sugar, is a traditional Kagoshiima dish originating from outdoor meals prepared by Satsuma warriors at hunting grounds and battlefields. It is said that even the great Saigo Takamori loved it, and it boasts a long history of 300 years. In the Aira region, it has been carefully passed down as an essential dish for New Year's and celebrations. The gentle sweetness of barley miso and brown sugar creates a deep richness. The longer it is stewed, the deeper the flavor you can enjoy. Featuring tender, melt-in-your-mouth pork and a sweet and savory taste, please enjoy this celebratory flavor of Aira, which pairs perfectly with sweet potato shochu.
