Yamanashi is known as a producing area for Japanese wine and fruits like grapes, peaches, and plums. In this land blessed with water from Mt. Fuji and the Southern Alps, small crafts like Koshu Inden (lacquered deer leather) and jewelry have been nurtured alongside sweets and drinks leveraging fruits. On this page, we introduce brands continuing craftsmanship while cherishing the land's blessings and techniques, such as orchards, wineries, leather workshops, and jewelry manufacturers.
We will feature wine, cider, jams, jellies, and baked goods starring Yamanashi-grown fruits like grapes, peaches, and plums. We will gather items easy to choose for gifts or everyday snacks, focusing on products where the ingredient variety, field location, and producer's face are visible.
Koshu Inden, applying lacquer patterns to deer leather, is a traditional Yamanashi craft that increases in charm the longer you use it. We will introduce items combining modern design, focusing on small objects you'll want to carry every day, like wallets, business card holders, pouches, and bags.
Known as an area for gem polishing and precious metal processing, Kofu gathers diverse jewelry brands, from small workshops to big manufacturers. We will introduce carefully made domestic jewelry, from everyday accessories to bridal rings, alongside their background stories.
