Along with fish, “I want to eat meat too!” If you are such a fan, we recommend our new local delicacy, Hirado Gibier. For those of you who want to eat meat along with fish, the new local delicacy, Hirado gibier, is for you! In addition to the aforementioned Hirado beef, a new local delicacy, Hirado wild boar gibier cuisine, is slowly gaining popularity. We visited “Creative Japanese Cuisine Dining Tsubaki” in Hirado Castle Town. Here I had the “Hirado wild boar curry” (1,200 yen). The wild boars used in this dish were culled from the mountains of Hirado. The boar meat is fatty from the rich forests (mainly acorns), and the meat has a sweet taste, which is a good thing. It is also served with wild boar bacon and potatoes.
A toast to the end of the day with a delicious drink! Visit to the Hirado Domain’s Imperial Sake Brewery Established in 1688 Enjoying the season’s fatty cold fish and the new specialty, wild boar gibier from Hirado, and other gourmet delicacies, you may be interested in the local sake. We decided to take a short walk to the Fukuda Sake Brewery, the official liquor store of the Hirado clan. The Nagasaki Bijin Daiginjo, made from Nagasaki’s Yamada Nishiki, and the Jagataraoharu, born of spring potatoes, are well-known, but the 35°Kapitan 5-Year/10-Year, a barley shochu aged to perfection, is of particular interest. 10-Year is a secret sake with a serial number, but once drunk, it is an unforgettable drink. Also popular this time of year is “Fukutsuru Special Junmai Active Light Nigori,” a slightly sparkling nigori sake available only in winter. Fukutsuru Hon Mirin Long-Term Aged” has been the talk of the town for its professional taste. Of course, I bought it immediately.
