Supporting Kumamoto's Local Businesses Through Food

In response to the devastating earthquake that struck Kumamoto in the year Reiwa 8, Otoriyose Net, one of Japan's largest online food review platforms, has initiated a special campaign named "Buy Delicious Food and Support Shops: Kumamoto Special Feature." This unique program aims to bolster local businesses by promoting Kumamoto's culinary treasures, ultimately assisting in the recovery efforts following the disaster.

Why Kumamoto Needs Your Help

The impact of the Kumamoto earthquake is twofold. While the immediate damages are apparent, the ripple effects—like cancellations in tourism—are severely affecting the local economy. This has prompted Otoriyose Net to curate a dedicated selection of ten products from Kumamoto-based vendors, thereby bridging the gap between consumers and producers during this challenging time.

The Featured Products

Among the highlighted offerings, consumers can find exquisite items that epitomize the rich culinary landscape of Kumamoto. Here’s a brief overview of what’s available:

• - Higo Aka Beef Roast Red Beef Set (Ooshimaya): Crafted from the rare Aka beef sourced from Kumamoto, this dish boasts a tender texture and juicy flavor that expands on your palate.
• - Seasonal Vegetables Set (Kyushu Vegetable Kingdom): A collection of ten types of fresh, seasonal vegetables picked in Kumamoto, which are delivered within one to two days of harvesting.
• - Junmai Shochu Cake "Amakusa" (Kashi Koubou Kikuya): This unique cake incorporates rare, 26-year aged sake from Amakusa, featuring a soft, melt-in-your-mouth quality that’s truly exceptional.
• - Sliced Raw Beef Yukhoe (Sennkiri): A popular choice amongst locals, this dish features exceptionally fresh horse meat, which can be simply mixed with a provided special sauce for an easy yet delightful meal.

These products not only provide a delicious experience for consumers but serve as a crucial source of support for local producers trying to recover their businesses.
