You can experience Tochigi Mingei throughout your stay in KAI Kinugawa. The Horaku platter for dinner is one of the highlights.
The Mashiko ware, which is characterized by its simple and plump texture, is lined on a pedestal made with Kanuma Kumiko and Kurobane Aizome technique, traditional crafts of Tochigi Prefecture. Each piece of Mashiko ware is made with a glaze made by an artisan, and the difference in the color of the glaze is also the charm of Mashiko ware. Be sure to touch and feel the skills of Tochigi Mingei, which is called "the beauty of use," and the craftsmanship.
