    Nagano Pref. Shiojirishi Narai 579
    The owner was attracted to the lacquerware made nearby and opened this shop after studying at Kiso Lacquer Institute. His original works and local artists’ works are displayed and available for sale. Inside you will find utensils, clothing, accessories, wild vine baskets and more. Among the recommended items would be the “sugisara”—born from its use of Natural Monument Yakushima cedars, which were felled by the typhoon. The lacquerware includes many everyday easy-to-use pieces.

    冬だったので他のお店は閉まっていて、口コミで評判の良いこちらに立ち寄りました。奈良井宿の事を色々を教えて頂いたり楽しい時間を過ごせます。 置いてある物もセレクトされていて星野リゾートで使われていると言うオリジナルの和菓子用切りを茶道をたしなんでいる方にお土産に購入しました。 時間があればゆっくり自分用の物も見たかった。

    どこへ旅行してもJAの直売所を巡るのが楽しくて好きなのですが、塩尻のこちらも商品が充実していて良かったです。 時期的な関係か、或いは塩尻だからでしょうか、リンゴよりもブドウの方が種類豊富に並んでいました。シャインマスカットなどの淡色系、巨峰などの濃色系それぞれ、産地ならではの新鮮さでした。ちょっとキズになったものなどを格安で売っているコーナーもあって、隅々見ていて飽きませんでした。 お客さんは圧倒...

    Nagano Shiojiri-shi Narai 738
    A 10-minute walk from Narai Station on the JR Chuo Main Line. This shop, located in Shiojiri City, specializes in wooden containers and magemono circular boxes. Magemono are made across the country, with each region's bearing a unique design; the shop's magemono have sides made with Kiso hinoki cypress and covers made with Kiso sawara cypress. All of the shop's boxes and containers are handmade, and, as they are used over the years, the lacquer on areas which are frequently touched will gradually grow brighter and change color. Sure to make a delightful souvenir or gift, Kiso magemono boxes are not only beautiful, they're practical as well - when used as a bento box, they keep rice in its optimum state, preserving the flavor and ensuring it tastes delicious even when cold.

    小さな売店。コロナ禍で試飲はなし。スタッフは一人で、事務所での発送作業に忙しそうで接客してくれず。すぐ帰ろうかと思ったが、わざわざ行ったので二本購入。両手にボトルを持ったので、ドアを開けてくれるかと思いきや開けてくれませんでした。

For fantastic Edo architecture, head to the Kiso Valley for a 60-kilometer stretch of quaint wooden buildings that marked the Nakasendo route 200 years ago.
