"Watanabe's" is an indigo dyeing workshop based in Kamiita-cho, which is known as the production center of Awa indigo, which consistently manufactures, dyes, and produces "medicines" that are dyes from indigo cultivation. You can experience indigo dyeing by choosing your favorite from 5 items (products) carefully selected by Mr. Watanabe, an indigo master and dyer. Clothing dyed with indigo is said to have deodorant, antibacterial, and insect repellent effects, and is a traditional craft that has been loved by people since the Edo period.

As the name suggests, "Blue Indigo Kiln", which is a quaint workshop where a 100-year-old Japanese house was renovated by itself and the second generation Toshiyuki Matsushita works on ceramic works, is blue, indigo, and dark blue. It features an elegant work that uses the glaze of the above as an accent color. The indigo bowl goes well with both Japanese and Western dishes and enhances the deliciousness of the dish.
