There is a reason why Kumamon came. Kumamon is also active as a sales manager and happiness manager in Kumamoto prefecture (excellent!). This time, I came to the En-eating editorial department to announce the "Fair where you can eat delicious food in Kumamoto". As a souvenir, you can buy tomatoes from Kumamoto prefecture.

The lineup of "Kumamoto Red" brand ingredients includes strawberries, red eggplant, Kumamoto red beef , and horse meat.
