"Satsuma ware," a type of pottery highly valued as an export item representing Japan since ancient times due to its simple yet delicate craftsmanship. Collaborating with "Landscape Products," a team aiming for innovative creations, the kiln "Chin Jukan kiln" presents the works of the pottery brand "CHIN JUKAN POTTERY" in this gallery and café.

The menu features items that highlight Kagoshima, with sweets beloved by locals such as "Sweet Potato Cheesecake" and "Ponkichi Shortcake." Served in stylish tableware, these treats promise a delightful tea time experience.

A must-try is the seasonal favorite drink "Coffee Float," where the Satsuma ware's cobalt blue stands out against the coffee's black, creating a striking monochrome contrast. The café also has a retail corner where visitors can see, touch, and purchase Satsuma ware.
