About this sight
Usukiyaki is a pottery workshop located in Usuki which prides itself on creating 'Usuki-yaki', a traditional, once-extinguished ceramic ware that has been brought back to life as a contemporary product, based on the few historical records that remain from the pottery’s original incarnation.
Skilled workers produce both porcelain and earthenware ceramics together in the workshop, there's also a cafe where visitors can enjoy cake and sweets on the finished products!

Kojiya Honten
The home of superfood ‘Koji’ is Kojiya Honten! For nine generations, Kojiya Honten has been handcrafting koji for the people of Saiki in Southern Oita Prefecture, but today, Koji is taking over as one of the world’s best superfoods. Our recommendation is to try their all-natural Amazaké “Hitoyokoi”– the perfect sweet drink to refresh your day! Otherwise, if you’re in the area and need some great company, we definitely recommend going just to meet the spunky Koji-woman herself: Miss Myoho Asari!
