[Takamori Dengaku]

Dengaku, a local delicacy of Takamori-cho in Oku Aso, is a hearth dish in which landlocked salmon, konnyaku, tofu, etc. are coated with a secret miso paste, skewered on bamboo sticks, and grilled over a charcoal fire.
Dengaku" is said to have originated from a custom called "Dengakumai," a dance performed to pray for a good harvest during the rice planting season in the Heian period (794-1185).
It is said that dengaku was introduced to the Takamori area from the neighboring city of Taketa (Oita) and has been consumed in the area for 700 years.
In 1960, the Takamori Dengaku Preservation Society was formed to preserve the traditional culture.

[Aso Farm]

In Aso, surrounded by the natural beauty of Aso, we produce around 20 types of salad vegetables per year.
Although the climate is harsh at an altitude of about 500 to 800 meters, the abundant spring water and temperature differences allow sweet vegetables with little bitterness to grow.
Vegetables grown with groundwater are characterized by their original flavor and sweetness.

[Abe Farm "ASO MILK"]

We are committed to the nature, grasslands, and water of Aso and believe that "raising cattle is raising grass, and raising grass is raising soil."
​ASO MILK was born from the desire to deliver freshly squeezed milk in its original delicious flavor.
We offer desserts made with our original brand of milk, the first in Japan to receive the highest three-star rating from the International Taste Institute.
