Karatsu Yakimon Club (July 26, 2024)

 Hello everyone.

 It's really hot right now,
The extreme heat continues every day.
We would like to express our sincere condolences during this hot summer. The wind blows from the sea in the town of Karatsu,
I think it's a little cooler here than in the city.
If you go a little up the hill in Karatsu city,
The temperature is lower than in the city, and it feels much cooler.
The Sakurei Kiln, by Sakurei Okamoto, which we are introducing in this online store, is located on the side of Mt. Sakurei, which is 887 meters above sea level, so the kiln has a particularly pleasant breeze and makes it feel like you are on a plateau even in midsummer.

We would like to introduce you to a variety of sake cups by Sakurei Okamoto, produced in the climbing kiln of Sakureigama. From the standard ones such as Chosen Karatsu and Madara Karatsu,
Professor Okamoto has a wide range of talent, including rare pieces such as those from the Jun kiln.
Please take your time to look at the paintings, including the Ekaratsu designs. Well, everyone, it seems like the coronavirus is spreading rapidly again, so please be careful not to get fatigued in the summer and make it through this hot summer. Have a great weekend this week too. Owner of Ichibankan Naoki Sakamoto
