• A pottery experience with top-notch service! We've increased the amount of clay used from 500g to 600g! The finished piece will be 1.2 times larger! We're also offering a complimentary original soy sauce ice cream (coffee or tea is also available)! Plus, those who enjoy Shurakukan's original Bizen curry or Bizen burger will receive a 100 yen discount coupon! Shurakukan, located in Ibe, Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, offers Bizen ware pottery classes. In a relaxing and calming atmosphere, children and adults alike can enjoy hand-crafting their own Bizen ware pieces. This plan involves firing your creation in an electric kiln. The experience lasts 40-60 minutes. After the pottery experience, you'll receive a complimentary soy sauce ice cream, a treat that has been featured on international television. Enjoy a leisurely sip while admiring your creation. You can also enjoy Shurakukan's original Bizen curry and Bizen burger, which placed 6th in the National Local Curry Grand Prix. Those who participate in the pottery experience will receive a 100 yen discount coupon for all items on the Shurakukan menu, so you can also enjoy local Bizen cuisine. As soon as the required number of kilns is available, we will fire the kilns one by one and send them to you after they are finished. Normally, it takes about six months for the kiln to be fired, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be significant delays. (We can accommodate a maximum of 20 people) Closed Wednesdays and Thursdays (excluding public holidays)
• First, imagine what you want to make.
• Use 600g of clay to create your favorite piece. First, imagine the piece you want to create in your mind and visualize its size and shape. Once you have a detailed image, you can start making the pottery. Use a manual potter's wheel to create the actual shape. With 600g of clay, you can make two cups or one relatively large plate or vessel.
• The unique baked finish is appealing
• By sandwiching straw between the pieces when they are loaded into the kiln, a unique scarlet sash pattern is achieved, resulting in a variety of colors. Since the pieces are fired together during the kiln firings, which occur several times a year, it takes a minimum of three months, but usually about four to six months (as electric kilns are fired less frequently, it may take longer than a Sangiri wood-fired kiln). Please be patient and look forward to receiving your piece.
• Serves our signature ice cream
• After the pottery experience, try your hand at "soy sauce ice cream" for the first time in your life! You might be surprised to hear that soy sauce is added to soft serve ice cream, but it's so delicious that it will bring a smile to the face of everyone, from children to adults. Enjoy this fresh experience where you will encounter many surprises and discoveries. Adding wasabi will make it so delicious that it will bring tears to your eyes.
