The kamai has also long been known as a pest that destroys crops. Regarding its hunting methods, in the past, they used to be hunted down with dogs and poked with a spear or crushed with stones to kill them. Nowadays, they are mainly captured in a trap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E9%A3%9F%E6%96%99%E3%81%A8%E3%81%97%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AE%E3%80%8C%E3%82%AB%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%80%8D\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kamai\" as food<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kamai is a very good superfood as an ingredient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kamai feed mainly on acorns and other nuts. Boars raised on acorns have healthy meat that is low in calories and high in protein. In addition, the meat is firm and very tasty because it is not farm-raised, but is captured from wild kamai that are well exercised in their natural habitat. The acorns that dongkamai eat contain an oil called oleic acid, which lowers blood cholesterol levels. As a result, the kamai that eat them also accumulate oleic-acid-derived fat. Oleic acid is a power food that can be expected to have anti-aging and beauty effects in addition to lowering blood cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A valuable source of protein and power food on the island, kamai is said to be edible except for its tail, which can be eaten not only for its meat but also for its bones, organs, and even blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Amazing. It is truly a complete food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E3%82%AB%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8A%E8%82%89%E8%B2%A9%E5%A3%B2%E5%85%88\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kamai's Meat Sales Destination<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Kamai meat for sale<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Nagasawa Butcher sells many kinds of kamai meat.

The main cause of the smell is that the meat is not drained of blood. A gun is sometimes used for hunting, but it is not enough to remove the blood. Therefore, at Nagasawa Butcher Shop, fresh kamai meat is captured by trapping and properly drained of blood, so that you can enjoy the taste of fresh kamai meat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The products are disassembled at a facility licensed by the public health department and are properly cleaned and treated for sanitation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As explained at the beginning of this article, kamai can be eaten except for the tail. Therefore, we handle both parts of the meat that you are familiar with and parts that are unfamiliar to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are various types of meat, such as \"kata,\" which has a lot of muscularity and is suitable for curry and stew, and \"ribs,\" which has a good balance of skin, fat, and lean meat, and has a strong flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">&lt;Nagasawa Butcher&#039;s website<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Stock usually sells out around March, and sales resume as soon as they come in around December after the start of the hunting season, so aim to purchase at that time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Please note, however, that product purchases seem to be accepted only by e-mail!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">~Basic Information<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Name: Nagasawa Butcher Shop<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Access: 984 Aza Iriomote, Taketomi-cho, Yaeyama-gun, Okinawa, Japan<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Phone number: 090-7585-6781<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Email: info@simamariasibi.com (orders only accepted by email)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Hours of operation: Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Holidays: Closed<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E8%A5%BF%E8%A1%A8%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%AEB%E7%B4%9A%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB%E3%83%A1%E3%80%8E%E3%82%AB%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%80%8F%E3%81%8C%E9%A3%9F%E3%81%B9%E3%82%89%E3%82%8C%E3%82%8B%E3%81%8A%E5%BA%97\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A restaurant where you can eat \"Kamai\", a B gourmet food of Iriomote Island.<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%91%A0%E3%82%AB%E3%83%9E%E3%82%A4%E3%82%92%E5%90%AB%E3%82%81%E3%81%94%E5%BD%93%E5%9C%B0%E3%82%B0%E3%83%AB%E3%83%A1%E3%81%AF%E3%80%8E%E5%B3%B6%E3%81%AE%E3%81%94%E3%81%A1%E3%81%9D%E3%81%86_%E3%81%84%E3%82%8B%E3%82%80%E3%81%A6%E3%81%83%E3%82%84%E3%80%8F\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">(1) Local gourmet food, including kamai, is available at \"Island Gourmet Irumuteiya\".<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Island delicacies Irumuteiya\" appears frequently in PIPI's columns.
