Many repeaters of Okinawa may be tired of both chinsuko and brown sugar. If you are tired of the usual Okinawan souvenirs, why don’t you try looking for them in this store? You will surely find a souvenir that will impress you! It is also a great souvenir for yourself to commemorate your trip.
Point 1: What is the origin of the name “Yatch and Moon”?
Many people may be confused as to what exactly the store is called “Craft・Gift Yatchi to Moon”.
Okinawa is famous not only for foods such as Chinsuko and Sataa Andagi but also for Yachimun (pottery).
Yatchi and Moon are named after the Yachimun.
The store is located on “Yachimun Street” in the middle of Kokusai Street in Naha, a short walk past the First Makishi Public Market.
From the outside, it looks like a modern Japanese-style house, which is a “nice touch.
While many stores are displaying old-fashioned ceramics, Yatchi and Moon look like it could be in Aoyama, Tokyo, with its cute taste and elaborate display, and is a feast for the eyes.
It could be called a “select store” of Yachimun.
Point 2: Yachimun with POP taste can be found at “Yatchi and Moon!
Many people may like Okinawan Yachimun, but may not like those that are too austere or too bright.
Here at Yatchi and Moon, many of the Yachimun have a POP taste with motifs of bears, such as those used in the popular TV drama “Runaway from Japan”.
Other plates have simple designs with motifs of the blue sea of Okinawa! While preserving the tradition of Yachimun, the Yachimun designs here are modern and fit perfectly with today’s lifestyle.
Although they do not seem to be made by famous artists, the prices are reasonable.
However, many people buy them as souvenirs for loved ones or for “personal use.
That’s why you can find beautiful Yachimun that you can’t find anywhere else!
Point 3: In “Yatch and Moon”, this is the one! you should buy it immediately!
Most of the pieces sold at “Yatch and Moon” are one-of-a-kind. So, even if you think, “I’ll buy it next time! but you never know if there will be any after that.
You may have to consider the price, but if possible, we recommend that you trust your own intuition and buy it immediately when you think of it! I recommend you to buy it immediately if you think “I wish I had bought it then”.
I am sure there will come a time when you will think, “I am glad I bought it then!
