[Professional-Quality Flavor in a Single Bottle!? The Incredibly Versatile “Premium Spice Yorokobi” ✨]

Miyakonojo is known as Japan’s top “meat city,” boasting the highest combined production value of beef, pork, and chicken🥩
“Gokujō Spices Yorokobi,” created by a local butcher—true experts in meat—is a beloved all‑purpose seasoning in Miyazaki, blended with more than 15 carefully balanced spices✨

The “Miyazaki Tegena Potato Chips,” seasoned with this same spice (nicknamed Tege‑Pote), are also hugely popular! Packed with umami and a fragrant, savory aroma, they’re perfect not only as a snack but also as a great pairing with drinks🍻

In this month’s Miyazaki Souvenir Corner, our writers share their impressions after trying “Gokujō Spices Yorokobi.” Check them out below! 👇

Writer A 👩🏻:
Not just for meat! It tastes great on stir‑fried vegetables, soups, even fried rice. It’s practically a lifesaver for anyone who struggles with cooking.

Writer B 🧓:
It has a gentle sweetness and isn’t too spicy, so when used as a base seasoning, even kids will happily eat it!

Writer C 👩‍🦰:
I don’t cook very often, so whenever I miss the flavor of “Yorokobi,” I just grab these “Miyazaki Tegena Potato Chips.”

Writer D👩🏻‍🦰:
A must-have for barbecues in Miyazaki! It makes everything taste great. It’s also delicious when dipped with raw vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes!

What do you think? ✨
If you’re traveling to Miyazaki, bringing home a bottle lets you enjoy the taste of Miyazaki right in your own kitchen😍
