So excited to finally try the Unagi Eel Bowl at Mocca in Nishiamuro, Kakeroma Island! It was so good, their curry looks tasty, and the mini gallery with @chaz_comic ‘s art is very cool too! By the way, “Mocca” is the Amami dialect word for papaya. #奄美大島 #加計呂麻島 #鰻 #西阿室 #ウナギ #うなぎ #アート #ちゃず #美術 #カレー #瀬戸内 #離島 #島 #琉球 #鹿児島 #丼 #鰻丼 #mocca #japan #food #island #kakeroma #amami #kagoshima #setouchi #eel #art #nishiamuro #bowl #cuisine #chaz (at 奄美大島、加計呂麻島) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2x32cslux-/?igshid=13c37mpfnzf14

So much fun putting together this tacos party in Nishiamuro Village w/ bbq chicken and local Kakeroma mango tacos. 🌮 Great times and talks with good friends, Uncle Jake, passionfruit ice cream, and lots of heat with my harvested Habaneros, Jalapenos, homemade passionfruit/Jolokia sauce, as well as passing around a bottle of The Bomb. Also, amazing chai tea, mint tea, Cumin/coriander tea, roasted pumpkins, spice daifuku and other treats at my friend Noriko's house! While all this was happening, a typhoon came through Kakeroma Island and knocked all the power out, so we bought coffees with a flashlight at Misaki Shouten and could only come back on a chartered boat that was carrying refrigerated items to Koniya so they wouldn't spoil. #奄美大島 #奄美 #加計呂麻島 #マンゴー #フルーツ #bbq #タコス #メキシコ #料理 #ハバネロ #西阿室 #パッションフルーツ #アイス #チャイ #カボチャ #停電 #台風 #鹿児島 #japan #amami #amamioshima #island #islandlife #tacos #mango #kakeroma #chai #pumpkin #passionfruit #homemade (at 奄美大島、加計呂麻島) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSUVzsAl762/?utm_medium=tumblr

#tbt to spending a few hours last weekend on Kakeroma Island catching up with friends, eating lunch at Mokka, finding a rare day-blooming Sagaribana flower, trying the Miki sherbet at @kakeromacafe , and wondering around Nishiamuro Village. Also, thankful for the chance to spend a few moments with Asazaki Ikue at Nagahama Beach in Shodon Village. It was such a treat to speak with her about the history of Shodon a bit and hear her and Yamato perform with 3 Ainu musicians, who she brought to Amami to film a segment for NHK. It's amazing how similar the indigenous languages and folk music of southern Amami Oshima and northern Hokkaido are. Check out their Amamiaynu 5-CD box set that they put out last year. #奄美大島 #奄美 #加計呂麻島 #諸鈍 #デイゴ #並木 #西阿室 #鹿児島 #島 #島唄 #アイヌ #アマミアイヌ #海 #サガリバナ #朝崎郁恵 #japan #music #amamioshima #amami #kakeroma #island #shimauta #ainu #shodon #nishiamuro #kagoshima (at 奄美大島、加計呂麻島) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHxa2nklT-Q/?igshid=1nyombp83pyly

The giant river eels of Nishiamuro Village, on Kakeroma Island. These eels are protected and fed by the villagers as pets and, every once in awhile, they have to come yell at strangers who try to come fish them out. 加計呂麻島の西阿室集落での巨大なウナギです。これらのウナギは村人によって飼われています。たまに他人がウナギを捕まえる為に来て、村人達は彼らを追い払う。 #kagoshima #eel #eels #japan #wildlifephotography #life #animal #animals #animalkingdom #pet #pets #amami #奄美 #奄美大島 #加計呂麻島 #うなぎ #ペット #川 #西阿室 #鹿児島 #動物 #自然 #瀬戸内 #ウナギ #鰻 (at 奄美大島、加計呂麻島) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByT7Uq9lfHd/?igshid=1bczq3igib5jx
