The chicken

Hello, everyone. Today I will write the final topic, the chicken which is produced by Oita people. The kind of this chicken is the gamecock. That is called “Toyo’s gamecock” among Oita people.

Toyo’s gamecocks were produced in Oita prefecture Stockbreeding Experiment Station (Oitaken tikusan shikenjyou) and farmed only in this prefecture. The main places which produce it are Bungo oono city, Oita city, Nakatsu city and Yufu city. The number of the hens which are farmed in Oita prefecture were 44,000 in 2007. Toyo’s gamecock is mixed the gamecock which is most delicious in all of the chickens with the hen which is called the Kyusyu Road which is lays well. They take from150 to 180 days to grow the hen.

The gamecocks have low fat. And the chicken has the taste peculiar to the gamecock and the firm muscle. It is delicious. Oita people try to give the rice which is produced by Oita prefecture to Toyo’s gamecocks at present.

The Kanmuri gamecocks are produced only in Oita prefecture. The main places which produce it are Beppu city and Bungo takata city. The Kanmuri gamecocks have been started to produce in 2008 and named the Kanmuri. Oita people have hoped that the Kanmuri gamecocks will be the most popular in all of the chickens. Now 36,000 of these gamecocks is produced by two farmers. The Kanmuri gamecocks mix the hen called the Load Island Red which is easy to farm, the Kyusyu Road with the gamecock. They take from 90 to 100 days to grow the hen.



<The famous cooking in the Oita prefecture>

There are many cooking of the chicken in Oita prefecture. Oita prefecture has also high consumption of the chicken in Japan. My favorite cooking is the charcoal grilled chicken and the Toriten. The look of the charcoal grilled chicken is black chicken. This grilled chicken is the simple method of cooking and draw out primary taste of the chicken. The Kabosu pepper which wrote my blog last week goes with this grilled chicken. The Toriten is the Tenpura of the chicken. I prefer to dust the Toriten with the salt.

Thank you for seeing my blog. I like the English class but can’t speak and write with English well. My blog has many wrong sentences that you can’t understand. I’m sorry.

But I am satisfied with reporting the OVOP Movement in Oita. My hometown is Oita. And I will return to Oita after graduation from this university and want to contribute to the regional people through community service, such as medical service and health service and so on. The regional community development of the OVOP Movement will be origin of my activity in the future.
