Newsletter (February 7, 2025 by Kota Tanaka)

Hello everyone.

Just when it seemed like spring had begun, the days have suddenly become cold. How are you all doing?
Karatsu is close to the sea and mountains, so even when you're having tea in a cafe, a Japanese white-eye might fly over.
Suddenly I feel the arrival of spring.

The Naoto Yano exhibition has ended, and the second floor gallery has returned to the permanent exhibition, but Professor Munehiko Maruta,
We have also received new works from Professor Soichiro and Professor O, so please stop by again the next time you visit Karatsu.

Well, this week in the online store,
We would like to introduce you to the sake set by Professor Tanaka Kota, who has recently been receiving increasing praise from professional chefs.
The tableware really brings out the flavor of the food and has a good reputation.
It's also quite nice to use a sake cup.
He is a unique and attractive ceramic artist. It's cold out, so I think his work would go well with hot sake. Please take your time to look around.

Well, everyone, have a great weekend.

Naoki Sakamoto, Owner of Ichibankan
