Naohide's main purpose in Kagoshima was to make friends with Takanaga and Ichizo, and when the mission was completed, Naohide began to prepare for the return trip. He asked Yoshibei, the head of the Saigo family, to help him find a ship, and it was already the middle of the frost moon (November), and it happened that the Satsuma clan had a merchant ship to deliver a batch of goods to the Satsuma clan in Edo before the New Year.

In the next two days, Naohide invited Takanaga and Ichizo as tour guides to play around Kagoshima, and there were many people, and he also specially invited Takanaga's younger siblings and Ichizo's sister to accompany him.

Naohide was a shogunate samurai, and Takashi never dared to take him to a critical place in the Satsuma Domain, and Sakurajima was still separated from the mainland at this time, so Naohide didn't go because he was troublesome, so he stayed in Kagoshima's castle town for two days to enjoy food and music.

There is no trace of the famous Shiroyama Observatory in the future. The top of Shiroyama Mountain is the best place to overlook Kagoshima Shimo-cho and Sakurajima, and the scenery is stunning. However, it is now the location of Kagoshima Castle, so it is difficult to get close.

Senganen, also known as Isonenen, is a famous garden in Fuso, built in the first year of Wanji (1658) and covers an area of about 5 hectares, and is now the villa and garden of the feudal lord, so you can't visit it.

In fact, Zhixiu still wants to see Xianyan Garden, it is said that the Chinese and Fusang garden cultures in Xianyan Garden are blended, and the Chinese "borrowing scenery" technique is adopted, and the Sakurajima volcano and Jinjiang Bay are included in the vision, and the ponds, small bridges, stone lanterns and other facilities in the garden are orderly, which also reflects the characteristics of the "dry landscape" of Fuso Garden. The Chinese garden emphasizes "seeing nature in artificiality", and the Fusang garden emphasizes "seeing artificiality in nature", and Naoxiu really wants to see with his own eyes how to integrate these two styles.

Chinese gardens advocate "gardening according to the landscape", and the inclusion of the exterior scenery becomes a part of the garden. In the Senganen building, you can see Sakurajima and Kagoshima Bay across the sea when you open the doors and windows, and Sakurajima has become the "mountain" of the huge bonsai of Senganen, and the rippling blue waters of Kagoshima Bay have become the "water" of the bonsai.

The "Wangyue Tower" in the garden is a Chinese-style pavilion with a single eaves and four corners with a blue tile roof, which is very rare in Fuso. The 273 green bricks on the ground are said to be fired by imitating the floor tile pattern of Afang Palace, and the three characters of "Wangyue Tower" on the plaque in the pavilion imitate the font of the book saint Wang Xizhi, and the inscription is also written with Wang Xizhi - the confidence of the fan, I really dare to write. The Shimazu family claims to be descended from the First Empress of Qin, but I don't know if it's true or not.

Halfway up the hill at the back of the garden, Chihiro Rock is one of the few cliffs carved in Fuso, with three Chinese characters engraved on the vertical boulder, with a total height of 11 meters, and it is rumored that it was carved in 1814 by mobilizing more than 30 people for three months - it is estimated that it is bragging, because the place is not large, and people may not be able to stand up.

In the future, the garden of meandering water is the largest garden left from the Edo period. Qushui Liuzhen is a traditional custom of the Shangsi Festival on March 3 introduced from China, and later generations hold a "Qushui Liuzhen" activity here every year to drink and write poems, attracting a large number of tourists.

Near the "Garden of Qushui" is a verdant bamboo forest, named "Jiangnan Bamboo Forest", which is quite colorful in the south of the Yangtze River in China. The bamboo forest is planted with Chinese moso bamboo, and Fusang borrows the allusion of "Meng Zong crying bamboo shoots" in the twenty-four filial pieties to call Meng Zong bamboo. Legend has it that in 1736, Yoshiki, the fourth head of the Shimazu family, purchased two moso bamboos from the Ryukyu Kingdom, and later spread to various parts of Fuso. Every year on March 3, when the Fuso Daughter's Day is celebrated, girls in the flower season gather at the edge of the bamboo forest in costumes to tell each other their hearts.

Sakurajima is an active volcano, a symbol of Kagoshima, and is still an island. In the future, a volcanic eruption in 1914 solidified the lava rock, connecting Sakurajima Island to the Osumi Peninsula.

The Satsuma Domain has a lot of beautiful scenery outside of Kagoshima, especially many hot springs, but Naohide is a shogun, so it is inconvenient to go deep into the territory, so he has to eat in the castle town.

Satsuma deep-fried fish cakes are one of Kagoshima's traditional foods. The stirred fish meat is fried, with a high quality and sweet taste, and it is very popular when it is fried and sold. In the future, there will be many types of Satsuma deep-fried fish cakes, and there will be a variety of fish and other ingredients to match, and even now, everyone will have a lot of fun.

The "Tea Festival" is also a local delicacy. Dried bonito and miso are added with ginger and green onions to their liking, and then mixed with tea to make a hot soup. It is said to relieve hangovers and fatigue. In the future, Ibusuki City, Kagoshima Prefecture, will hold the "Ibusuki Rape Flower Marathon" every year, and provide a "tea festival" for each runner to drink at the scene. When you take a sip of the tea festival, you will feel like you have drunk miso soup that condenses the flavor of dried bonizu, and the flavor is rich and the aftertaste is endless.

Volcanic ash barbecue is to wrap fish, meat, and other ingredients in leaves or cloth, and then wrap them in volcanic ash and dry them on the outside. It is said that by doing so, the taste of the food is more reflective of the original flavor of the ingredients than the way it is dried and tumbled.

Naohide did not find the famous "Sakurajima Chicken Charcoal Grill" in later generations, and it is estimated that it was not developed because chicken is now a valuable food for patients to eat. Naohide didn't care about this, Naohide and his party had seven boys and two girls, Naohide bought three chickens, took out the low-grade thirteen incense that Murata Yongmin carried with him, and asked the izakaya to help make it, although there were no famous pepper and salt flavors, teriyaki flavors, yuzu pepper flavors and other flavors in later generations, but everyone still had a lot of fun. The only fly in the ointment is that except for Murata, Naohide doesn't let anyone else drink.

Satsuma shochu is famous among Fuso shochu. The raw materials of Satsuma shochu are made of Satsuma taro and brown sugar, and the traditional single-mode distillation method "Benka-yaki" is used to distill only once, and the aroma is particularly unique. Because of the high price of sake, the low-ranking samurai and townspeople of the Satsuma clan were very poor and could not afford to drink it, and the local Satsuma taro was abundant, so I don't know which genius had the idea to make sweet potato shochu. There are as many as 113 breweries in various parts of Kagoshima in the future, and one of the more famous brands is "Shirakutama no Lu", which is made by Shiratama Brewery. Of course, there is no white jade dew yet.

Eating charcoal is more greasy, and Zhixiu asked the proprietress to serve everyone a few cups of Zhilan tea. All the land in the Satsuma domain is volcanic ash soil, which is suitable for tea cultivation. Chiran tea is a sencha (green tea) produced in Chiran Town, Kagoshima, and has been awarded the Fuso Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of the Fuso National Tea Association and the Fuso Agricultural Sample Award of the National Tea Products Association. The tea leaves of Chiran Tea have a transparent bright green color, exude a refreshing tea aroma, and are rich and sweet in the mouth, and can be used as a cold brew tea in summer.

Children have a sweet tooth, and Akashiya's light soup and yam cakes are the most popular.

Akashiya is one of Kagoshima's long-established Japanese sweets, and its most famous traditional confectionery is light soup. The Akashiya that Naohide found should be the head office of the later Akashiya. The method of light soup is to mix potato flour, rice flour and sugar, and then steam it to make the fruit. The texture of the light soup is between brown sugar cake and Nagasaki cake, and it is very fluffy and has a low sweetness. The special way to eat is to put red bean paste or cream filling in the light soup to make light soup steamed buns, now there is no cream, Naoxiu asked if there is red bean paste, the proprietress said that this can be had, welcome to taste later.

Yam cake is one of Kagoshima's most famous Japanese sweets, and it will be one of the most famous confectionery in Fuso in the future. The yam cake is made from high-quality satsuma taro, japonica rice, and sugar, and is popular as a souvenir because of its sweet potato fragrance and unique taste.

As a carnivore, Naohide has admired the "Black Pig Samurai" for a long time, but unfortunately, now there is only roasted black pork meat, and the volcanic ash barbecue is also very delicious, but Naohide is still quite regretful.

In the future, "Black Pig Samurai" will be the signature dish of Kagoshima's popular tonkatsu restaurant "Kuro Tsutei", and it has a cute appearance and is often shared on Instagram, making it a favorite among women. Not only the appearance, but also the taste is quite attractive. Glutinous rice is added to the dough for a very elastic texture, and it is served with a full black pork filling and baked with bamboo charcoal, bringing out the original gravy flavor of Kagoshima black pork.

In the future, in Kagoshima, Wagyu cuisine is also very popular, but now cattle are very precious agricultural livestock, and it is said that ten years later, the black ship of the United States came to visit, and the shogunate trembled and agreed, but the people of the United States proposed to eat steak, but the shogunate officials verbally refused, and it is rare to be hard-hearted, and it can be seen that the preciousness of the cow at this time.

Kagoshima's seafood is also good, and in addition to sashimi, robatayaki is also popular, which is to build a large sand table indoors, light a bonfire, and grill seafood on skewers with bamboo skewers around the sand table, and serve it with sake. But everyone ate too much, so they had to thank Busen.

Other Kagoshima delicacies that don't appear today include Kagoshima ramen, sweet potato cream cake, no-baked sweet potato cake, satsuma chocolate chips, chocolate brown sugar, and milk jam.

The origin of Fuso ramen is unknown, but the owner of the first local ramen shop was Kanichi Ozaki. After his retirement in 1910, he hired a dozen Chinese chefs from Chinatown and opened a Chinese restaurant, Lai Lai Ken, in Asakusa, Edo. In addition to ramen, the restaurant also sells Cantonese dim sum such as wonton, steamed buns, and siu mai, but it is ramen that really makes it go down in the history of Fuso.

In the future, there will be so many ramen shops in Kagoshima that you can see them everywhere just by walking down the street. Each ramen shop has its own signature flavor, and there are a variety of options for noodles, such as extra-fine noodles and rolled noodles. The charm of Kagoshima ramen is the soup, a "tonkotsu broth" made from pork bones, which looks greasy, but is exceptionally light and nutritious.

Satsuma Chocolate Chips are special because they are made from Kagoshima's local "Golden Senkan" sweet potatoes, and are drizzled with chocolate with a cocoa content of 52% on the outside, and they go perfectly with the sweet potato chips.

Chocolate brown sugar, most famous for its permanent house. It is a product made from brown sugar, which is a specialty of Amami Oshima, and chocolate, which is rich in polyphenols. In addition to brown sugar chocolate, there are brown sugar chocolate using Kirishima organically cultivated matcha, Karapijima brown sugar chocolate, and Yakushima sea salt. In addition, it is a chocolate that does not melt easily, so it is a popular carry-on item whether it is for outdoor activities or ordinary travel.

Milk jam is a specialty of Kagoshima's iconic tourist hotel, Shiroyama Kanko Hotel, and has been very popular since its release, and has been featured in many media. The milk jam made with Chiran Tea, a specialty of Kagoshima, perfectly blends the taste of tea leaves with the sweetness of milk while suppressing the astringency of tea, while Tanegashima Annataro brings out the original sweetness of sweet potatoes and gives a melt-in-your-mouth feeling. Milk jam is a jam that makes you feel the feeling of staying at a tourist hotel in Shiroyama even at home.

Kagoshima's specialties include black sugar, black porpoise, Satsuma ware (ceramic), Satsuma kiriko, Satsuma taro, black vinegar, Sakurajima radish, Buddha sandalwood utensils, dried bonito, laying hens, etc.

At this time, the Satsuma clan almost monopolized the production of black sugar in Fuso, and some of the black sugar production on the islands of Kyushu and Shikoku was also produced, but they were all bought by the Satsuma clan at a high price to maintain a monopoly.

Satsuma ware is a ceramic produced by Satsuma, which is divided into two types: "White Satsuma" and "Black Satsuma", the white Satsuma is ivory-white in appearance, with regular, delicate spider web-like cracks on the surface, vases, incense burners, tea sets, etc., and the black Satsuma is a black porcelain for daily necessities, such as plates and bowls. The technique of Satsuma ware originated from the ceramics that came from Goryeo in the early 17th century.

Kagoshima's black vinegar is brewed in an ancient way, and is placed outdoors in large clay pots, filled with high-quality steamed rice, rice koji, and groundwater, and matured naturally in a variety of environments. One of the most famous production areas is Fukuyama Town. The most famous black vinegar in the future comes from "Sakamoto Brewing", which has a fresh and mellow taste and an amber appearance.

The current Satsuma Kiriko (glass products) have not yet appeared, and it was only in time that the Satsuma clan began to make ordinary glass bottles, and it was not until the 11th Shimazu family lord Saibin succeeded to the throne in 1851 that there was a major technological breakthrough. The future Satsuma Kiriko is famous for its exquisite and elegant high-end glass products that combine Chinese glass-plating techniques with Europa's pondering techniques.

Because they were too full to eat, everyone agreed to cancel the Satsuma pipa performance.

In the future, Satsuma Biwa praise has a certain reputation all over the world.

The total length of the Satsuma pipa is about 91 centimeters, and it resembles a rakuka pipa, and its neck is thicker than that of the rakuka lute, and the upper part of the lobster tail is relatively large. In particular, the web is highly convex, and the columns are particularly high, with four of them, and the first column is very close to the upper end (the chord) (about 5 cm), so the distance from the second column is wide (about 13.5 cm).

During the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573-1603), Tadayo, the head of the Satsuma Shimazu family, ordered the blind monk Fuchiwaki Choin to create a number of works to promote morality in order to educate his children. In the future, after the establishment of the Meiji Restoration government, Satsuma and Choshu became two major gates side by side, and Satsuma pipa was also introduced to Tokyo with the high-ranking officials of Satsuma, and gradually spread to Fuso throughout the country. The Satsuma genre is characterized by its emphasis on content, elegance and tragedy.

I ate and ate well, and I had enough of playing, and everyone was very satisfied in the last two days except for Naohide - Naohide was very disappointed that he didn't eat the black pig samurai and Kagoshima ramen, and developed it himself at the Saigo house, and the black pig samurai was a great success, and the ramen battle failed greatly, and the noodles made were of different thicknesses, although the children had not eaten them, but they all looked at Naohide with suspicion, and Naohide's heart was hit by 10,000 crits.

Two days later, Naohide and the four of them boarded the boat and left Kagoshima, and Takanaga and Ichizo led the children to wave goodbye, and returned to the boat to take advantage of the north wind to sail to Nagasaki.
