This cup is made by blending the iron-rich red clay of Shigaraki with unrefined natural clay and rocks that have been finely crushed by hand.
This Yunomi is the original creation of Mr. Sako. He says, "I made it in the shape that the clay is trying to be," and the shape makes full use of the characteristics of this unique clay.
The graceful BEEDORO, the unique texture of natural clay, and the powerful yet delicate and elegant shape are fused together by high skills. This cup is truly a blessing of earth and fire. With this cup, you will feel as if you have just brought home a piece of nature.... (more info: click here)

These round and cherry-pink color crackers are extraordinarily crispy and light, and pair very well with Japanese green tea.
These crackers are made on the Chita peninsula in Aichi Prefecture, which is surrounded by two gulfs. This area is well known for its excellent and plentiful seafood. The catch of shrimp in this area is very abundant, which makes it possible to use fresh shrimp for these EBI SENBEI.
This shrimp crackers are not fried but baked, so that the texture is very light and healthy.Adding to that, shrimp are used not only in the dough but also on the surface of the crackers. One small piece of shrimp is placed on the surface during the baking process. Fresh shrimp are directly baked by rolling machine, so the crispy and fragrant flavor and aroma of shrimp can be enjoyed for a long time.
Once you try these EBI SENBEI, not only the delicious flavor of shrimp, but also the delightful aroma, expands in your mouth. The flavor and aroma are irresistible. If you try one bite, you will find that it is rather difficult to stop!... (more info: click here)
