About 16 minutes by car from Naha Airport. The store is located in Tsuboya Yachimun Street, Naha City. The shop sells not only yachimun (pottery), but also glasses, miscellaneous goods, sweets, and fashion. The friendly female owner is also attractive. If you are lost among the many yachimun stores, this is the place to go!
Point 1:Many of the Yachimun in “sprout” is from artists!
The main products of “sprout” are Yachimun.
The majority of the products are made by artists, and the store currently handles the works of about nine different artists.
The artists vary in age, but most of them seem to have relatively traditional designs.
It would be better to say that many of them traditionally modestly incorporate subtle and innovative designs. There seems to be no selection of eccentric designs.
Some people say that they have looked at Yachimun in Tsuboya and Yomitan Village, but have found the best ones in this store.
There are several “special exhibitions” a year and works by different artists are also displayed.
The pieces are all “one-of-a-kind,” so you may not always get the same one. If you find a good piece, we recommend that you buy it immediately.
Point 2: There are also “sprout” original brand clothes.
At “sprout,” original brand clothes are also available.
The clothes are placed in a corner of the room as if to watch over the yachimun, but they are quite attractive as well!
Many of the items are made of natural materials such as cotton and hand-printed fabrics, and T-shirts with unique illustrations are also fun to look at.
The motifs seem to be mostly Okinawan nature and sea creatures, making them ideal souvenirs for the type of person who would not be pleased with something bland.
Point 3: “sprout” also has miscellaneous goods such as Tenugui hand towels and food items.
In addition to Yachimun, “sprout” also offers miscellaneous goods such as Tenugui hand towels, Ryukyu indigo-dyed coasters and turbans like the one in the photo, Ryukyu Bingata key chains, and food such as goat milk cookies.
The owner has a great sense of taste in selecting sundries and food items, which are not only for yourself but are also great as souvenirs.
If you are looking for a store that sells selected sundries, stop by here!
