From pork dishes to chicken and rice soup, spiny lobster miso soup and deep-fried fish, chauke miso and somen stir fry, the local cooking of the southern islands is dynamic and full of rustic beauty replete with the bounty of both sea and field. The food culture of Amami is influenced by the southern Ryukyu and northern Yamato cultures and offers a peek into other aspects of local history.
