Miyabe’s Special Horumon and Salted Horumon from Gokasecho, Miyazaki Prefecture Miyabe Butcher Shop, the town’s only meat shop, marinates pork skirt and shoulder roast in its homemade sauce to make the special horumon called “Tokuhoru.” This dish once won the grand prize at the Local Gourmet Contest held in Miyazaki City. It’s great grilled over charcoal, on an iron griddle, or stir-fried with various vegetables since it’s already seasoned. They also offer a salted horumon called “Shiohoru,” in which the offal is slowly soaked in their homemade salt blend, Kuroshio Jiro. You can grill it as is, or add it with vegetables to a clear broth made from dashi base for a light, refreshing motsunabe (offal hotpot).
