Ibaraki is a prefecture rich in rustic yet strongly present ingredients like Mito natto, dried sweet potatoes, melons, chestnuts, and lotus roots. At the same time, crafts unique to a land where farms are close to kilns and weaving machines—such as Kasama ware and Yuki tsumugi (silk)—are passed down. On this page, we will introduce Ibaraki's foods supporting daily meals, and the tableware and fabrics enhancing the dining table.
Specialty products unique to Ibaraki, such as Mito natto, dried sweet potatoes, melons, chestnuts, and lotus roots, are items highly appreciated for daily side dishes, snacks, or gifts. We will introduce products chosen with peace of mind through the initiatives of manufacturers and farms dedicated to ingredient origins and manufacturing methods.
Historic Kasama ware has many contemporary artists, giving birth to tableware with diverse expressions. We will propose how to choose them as companions to receive meals and snacks, focusing on everyday tableware like rice bowls, mugs, plates, and serving bowls.
Ibaraki holds a textile culture with a long history, starting with Yuki tsumugi known for hand-spinning and hand-weaving. Beyond formal wear, textiles easily incorporated into daily life as stoles and accessories are increasing. We aim to create encounters with fabrics you can nurture over a long time.
