Wehara Kitchen brings you a culinary journey. The second trip will be to Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture.

There are surely many people whose purpose of travel is food. . food rather than scenic beauty . . dumplings rather than flowers. . In other words, it can be said that you can taste "travel" with "food".

Wehara Kitchen, a restaurant that opened in October 2020, started an event called "Taste Journeys" at the same time it opened last year. This is a project to let people experience the feeling of traveling through food, especially now that it is difficult to travel as much as one would like.

The first event focused on Kochi Prefecture, featuring local delicacies such as Tosa wagyu beef and yellowtail caught in the nearby sea. The second event will be held this weekend. The next event will feature meat and wine from Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture.

The main course is Jersey beef from Miyazaki Prefecture. They are so-called dairy cows, but after being raised as dairy cows for eight years, they are fed on a grass-to-grain ratio of eight to two for one year to minimize stress and to ensure that they are fattened up for a long period of time. Miyazaki's cattle farmers and hoof trimming technicians (gyusakuteishi, or hoof trimming technicians) are the people who take care of the hoofs of the cows. Mr. Ryuji Matsuyama, a Miyazaki-based cattle farmer and hoof trimmer, has raised his cattle with great care. Chefs around the world are paying attention to Jersey cows from the viewpoint of food sustainability. Enjoy its deep lean taste and sweet fat with this "Taste Journeys".

. Also, a wine pairing is available with the course meal. This selection is also from the Miyakonojo Winery in Miyakonojo City.

The course includes an amuse, appetizer, two main courses, and dessert for ¥11,000, plus wine pairing for ¥5,500 (3 glasses of wine to match the dish).

. while thinking of his place, a little richer dinner once in a while. The event will be held on April 17 (Sat.) and 18 (Sun.) .
