KAGOSHIMA, JAPAN – Welcome to Kagoshima, a prefecture in the Kyushu Island of Japan that’s that’s synonymous with Kagoshima kurobuta – Japan’s premium and most delicious pork – this is the place to eat pork in Japan! Today we’re going on a kurobuta pork food tour, we’ll be eating fried tonkatsu, flash boiled shabu shabu, and an izakaya to end – that’s the plan, get ready for some life changing pork.

4 times tastier than normal pork – I read an article where they actually said Kagoshima kurobuta pigs were 4 times tastier than normal pigs – scientifically proven with their amino acids and makeup. I’m not sure how proven this is, but after tasting it, especially the shabu shabu, I have no reason to think otherwise.

Restaurant 1: Kurobuta: https://goo.gl/maps/6AvMaEq2dFDyHEgN9 – We first headed to Kurobuta restaurant to eat tonkatsu, or a fried pork cutlet, one of Japan’s most famous pork dishes. They had a regular and a black charcoal bread crumb version. Both were excellent and the pork was so juicy and flavorful.
Total price – 6,300 JPY for both tonkatsu

Restaurant 2: Shabu Shabu Ichiniisan: https://goo.gl/maps/81r77uiF8gzATNTy9
This was the greatest taste of kurobuta pork possible – shabu shabu – where nothing is covering up the natural taste of the pork. The pork was sliced extremely thin and gently blanched in soba noodle water before being dunked in a very pleasant sauce filled with leeks. It was the highlight of the day.
Total price – 7,300 JPY for everything

Scene 4: Izakaya Tsuwabuki: https://goo.gl/maps/RNhuicGmuxh94AXY7
Finally to complete this Kagoshima pork tour we went to an evening izakaya to try a few more kurobuta pork dishes and a few drinks. It was a fantastic day of kurobuta pork in Kagoshima!
Total price – 5,600 JPY

  1. OMG Kagoshima is my hometown!!!
    I’m so happy to see you eating Kurobuta.
    Hope you enjoy staying Kagoshima😉

  2. しゃぶしゃぶ屋さんで、幽霊のようにいる接客の人を海外の人は、
    どう思うのだろう?
    YouTubeを撮影してなければ、
    いろいろ、もっと説明してくれそう。

    ここは行きたい店のひとつとなりました。

  3. At Izakaya normally I start with Beer before food is served and wash down with Suntory Highball / Chuhai as ending.
    Refreshing~~

  4. I love pork but i get very sick from it. This looked so delicious. I just love watching you enjoy the different foods so much. Love from Ontario Canada.

  5. Mark please go to N.korea and show us their living styles also… Just curious 😊

  6. Mark has a giant following to be sure. I’m not thrilled with his lack of command with the English to describe the food. His word choices are simple not up to par with his actual age. He comes off as mentally 15.

  7. I was born in Kagoshima and still live there. Thank you for introducing me to Kagoshima. In other countries, Japanese cities such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka are famous, but Kagoshima is not so well known. However, Kagoshima is the prefecture with the second largest amount of food shipments in Japan. This means that there are many delicious foods and ingredients. It is also the prefecture with the second largest number of hot spring sources in Japan. We recommend visiting Kagoshima if you like good food and hot springs.

  8. Welcome to my country Japan! If you visit Japan next time, come to Gujo Hachiman.

  9. MARK WIENS YOU MADE ME AND THE WIFES MORNING WOKE UP TO THAT EPISODE OF YOU TWERKING IN SOME COUNTRY BROTHER BEEN HERE SINCE THAT TIMES MUCH LOVE AND KEEP THE AMAZING CONTENT UP GOD BLESS

  10. Ty for all your content I always work long hours and when I’m relaxing all your videos ease my tensions away,I always love your genuine reactions to all the food ❤

  11. I'm glad to see you travel to different different parts of Japan. And to see you enjoy the food your eating, amazing! 🐖 yummy

  12. Japanese food is amazing. It’s primarily a byproduct of a culture that takes extreme pride and obsession in the quality of their food. As far as soba is concerned, I feel like soba is one of those dishes that just gains automatic respect just because it hails from Japan. It’s been documented since the 1400s and soba in its current form is cold buckwheat noodles with cold soy based broth with grated radish. I think it is a refreshing dish. But would I ever go out of my way to eat it? Heck no. It’s the equivalent of a peanut butter n jelly sandwich in America. If soba was born out of another country, nobody would give a darn. Mark Wiens is the bomb. I was so sad when bourdain died. Mark and Sunny helped fill that void he left.

  13. I haven’t been able to watch your videos in a while, so I don’t know if you changed the mic, but it sounds amazing! I always appreciate a good mic, as I have very sensitive ears.

  14. Coming from Metro Chicago and having been born in Metro Manila where traffic is insane, I noticed the fantastic no-traffic in Kogoshima despite being the usual work day.
