Yanai Jima (traditional stripe textile)
Plain cotton textile produced in this area for centuries.
This style became well known during the Edo period, when Yanai prospered as a merchants’ city. As industrialization began in the Meiji period (19th century), production of this folk textile declined and almost disappeared in the early 20th century.
After decades of absence, Yanai-Jima production was revived thanks to a new technology and design, that yet manage to preserve the warmth of hand-woven textile.
Wood-fired Oven Italian Albero
This restaurant serves authentic Neapolitan pizza, baked in an Italian-made wood-fired oven.
Albero offers Italian cuisine made with plentiful local ingredients from Yamaguchi Prefecture, and particularly from within Yanai.
Pizzas, drinks and desserts are also available for take-out.
Ichigo-Ichie
As “a sweets café that expresses the heart of Japan”, Ichigo-Ichie offers soft-serve ice cream sent directly from Yamanaka Dairy Farm in Akaigawa Village, Hokkaido, in vanilla and limited-edition seasonal flavors, as well as Japanese sweets made with domestically-produced ingredients. In addition, a stylish selection of Japanese goods is also available.
Kanro Joyu (soy sauce)
Soy sauce with extra-rich flavor thanks to an original double processing. When this sauce was first presented to Lord Kikkawa during the Edo period, the governor praised the flavor as being “kanro” – “heavenly sweet dew”. Hence its name Kanro Joyu.
Using a technique that remains unchanged since it was first developed 200 years ago, soy sauce matures for two years and gains its characteristic flavor.
Yanai Nishigura
This white plastered, 1-story wooden storehouse was built as a soy sauce brewery in the late Taisho Period (around 1920’s) . Many people used to call it in its nickname “Nishigura” up until 1980. In order to preserve the building as a valuable historical and cultural heritage, its facade, interior pillars and frames have been maintained as original state. It is now utilized as “Yanai Nishigura”, a craft center and a gallery.
