Recognized as the most delicious pork in all of Japan, Kagoshima kurobuta (black pork) should definitely be in your must-eat list when in Kagoshima. Kagoshima kurobuta uses pork sourced from Kagoshima black pigs. These pigs are raised on a sweet potato diet, making the pork\u2019s fat sweet and high in collagen.<\/p>\n

Chojuan\u2019s interior features an upscale and fashionable look. It\u2019s a modern Japanese restaurant, but it does not lose its traditional sense with its tatami flooring and low tables. They have table seating, counter seats, and private rooms to accommodate all guests. Although the restaurant\u2019s beautiful interiors are worth all the praise, it is their kurobuta dishes that deserve a spotlight.<\/p>\n
