Let's find your favorite one for Okinawan traditional Yachimun pottery making experience and souvenirs! (Online shopping is possible)

The shape of the yachimun is performed in a potter's wheel.
The shape of the yachimun is performed in a potter's wheel.

There are many traditional crafts in Okinawa, but one of the representatives is Tsuboya ware. In the dialect, it is called "Yachimun" and is popular with many Okinawan citizens. This time, we will introduce Tsuboya ware kiln Moto Ikutoen, one of the potters that inherit the history and techniques and breathe breathe into the present age.

A narrow alley where cars can finally pass each other, a red tile house that makes you feel the original scenery of Okinawa, and a calm and clear air that feels the breath of the people living there. Therefore, I would like to introduce Ikutoen, which continues to make Tsuboya-yaki with the technology that has been handed down for more than 60 years, and continues to challenge new product development using new technology and collaboration with various brands and products.
When you visit on a trip, you can definitely see "Yachimun" at restaurants and souvenir shops where you stop by. I guess there are many people who have purchased it. Okinawan people also have one piece on the cupboard at home, so it is so familiar that it is rooted in the lives of Okinawan people.
At Ikutoen, not only those who have visited Okinawa many times, but also those who are new to it can always have a memorable experience.
Those who like making things, those who like the time to observe how craftsmen make them, those who want to touch traditional Okinawan crafts, and those who always feel calm and warm after visiting Ikutoen. I think you can.

The third is an online shop where you can buy works of famous craftsmen and young artists who inherit tradition. There are five directly managed stores operated by Ikutoen in Tsuboya. Each shop has a theme and concept, and each of the five stores has its own charm.
"Yachimun" is recommended not only for yourself but also for gifts to loved ones. `` Tsuboya ware '' that can be enjoyed as an interior, such as plates and bowls that are sure to shine in any dish, dishes such as mugs that want to enjoy warm drinks in the cold season, single vases and figurines of Shisa, etc. It should gently snuggle up to any scene of the person and add Aya to everyday life.

Okinawa Green Caviar Fishing Experience | Sea grape farm Umimichi ~uminchi ~ (Online shopping is possible)

Sea grapes, which are very popular with tourists and citizens of the prefecture, can be experienced at "Umibudo Farm Umimichi-uminchi-" in Itoman City, Okinawa Prefecture. Would you like to have a memorable experience of a special trip that is unusual?
I know, but I don't know how to eat it. It's such a sea grape, but in fact, it's a favorite ingredient for French star restaurants and famous patissiers. Sea grape farm Umimichi ~uminchi ~, which has been living with sea grapes for many years, was named "Okinawa Green Caviar" in order to review and emerge the value of sea grapes. We will make it a beloved presence not only overseas but also throughout Japan. You can experience the harvest of sea grapes with a texture like a caviar, with your own hands at the farm, and experience the sea grape egg rice, the sea grape Okinawa soba, and the sea grape soft serve ice cream!
[Recommendation experience at the facility]
●Recommended point
Recommended for those who are looking for new experiences or experiences that touch nature!
You can enjoy a wide range of people regardless of age, including repeaters who have come to Okinawa many times and families with curious small children who want to actually move their hands and learn.
●Experience: Sea grape picking experience includes a tour of the farm by a guide, a tsumitori experience, sea grape scooping (you can take it home as much as you scoop), sea grape tasting, and raw sea grape soft.
●Fees: 3,300 yen for junior high school students and older (13 years and older), 2,300 yen for elementary school students and younger (3 to 12 years old), free for children under 2 years old.
●Time required: About 40 to 60 minutes.
Reservations for the experience are required, so please check the experience time in advance.

It varies depending on the season. In addition, since the sea grapes freshly harvested during the picking experience may have shrimp and crustaceans, it is not possible to eat or take them home on the spot from a sanitary point of view, but the sea grapes scooped have been processed. You can take it home as it is.

Recommended for those who can't go to the facility! Purchased at online shops * Domestic and overseas shipping is possible
At the online shop, you can purchase a variety of products, such as a set of fresh sea grapes of Petit, an ice gift set of sea grapes (4 types x 3 pieces = 12 pieces), a set of Ryukyu glass vessels, a sea grape sauce (single item), and a set of sea grapes and sauce. Also, I love sea grapes! For those who say, there is also a "regular course (300g x 3 times)" and you can enjoy various ways of eating. Recommended ways to eat include "Umibudo colder" on top of tofu, "Umibudo salad" mixed with salads, "Umibudo natto" mixed with natto, "Umibushabu" as ingredients for shabu-shabu, etc. How to eat is infinite!

It is desirable to store the pack at room temperature as it is a pack, avoid direct sunlight, and need to wash lightly before eating. I just want to keep it refrigerated, but it is OK to keep it at room temperature as a pack. There is also an online shop where you can enjoy the taste of your trip at home along with memories of your trip. Please enjoy the sea jewels grown by the nature of Okinawa at home.
