Surrounded by snowmelt water from the Tateyama mountain range and the deep Toyama Bay, Toyama is a producer of seafood known as a "natural fish preserve," and rice and local sake supported by high-quality water. Metal and glass crafts thrive as well, such as Takaoka copperware, Takaoka lacquerware, and glass crafts, making both food and tableware attractive. On this page, we introduce foods born from Toyama Bay's seafood and rice, and the tableware and tools made around Takaoka.
We will feature processed goods and rice accompaniments using seafood landed in Toyama Bay, such as winter yellowtail, white shrimp, and firefly squid. We will introduce products you can enjoy at your daily dining table, focusing on manufacturers particular about seasonality, origin labels, and manufacturing methods.
With a history of about 400 years, Takaoka copperware is loved today not just as Buddhist altar fittings and vases, but also as tableware and interior sundries. We will introduce metal tools easy to incorporate into daily life, such as small dishes, cutlery rests, wind chimes, and trays.
In Toyama, creating tableware where you can enjoy light and color is also popular, such as glass crafts and Takaoka lacquerware. We will introduce glasses and small bowls for enjoying local sake, tea, and desserts, which you'll want to use alongside Tateyama's water and Toyama Bay's ingredients.
