TOHNO, the town of national treasure and triple hot.

Tajimi City is known as the hotest city in Japan, Minou Pottery and grilled eels with rich souce. And peopler are warmhearted.
Tajimi city is located in Tono area in Gifu prefecture. In Tajimi, eels have always eaten by potters for physical recovery from the heat of the kiln. There are 26 eel restaurants in the city.
"Tajimi Sawasen" was established in 1901(Meiji 34), serves aromatic and crispy grilled eels and we recommend you to try Hitsumabushi style. (eel fillets cooked over charcoal with soy flavoured sauce, cut in small pieces and serve on rice)
Iwamura jyozo, the sake brewer which continues for more than 200 years, has won a gold prize continuously for 3 years. Clear and refreshing flavor of the sake goes with the sweet sauce on Unagi.

Sakazuki (sake cup) is an essential thing when you drink sake. Mino ceramic it the traditional arts and crafts which have been loved in Tohno area. Sakazuki is made by a lot of potters and you can see about 1500 of them at Ichinokura Sakazzuki Museum.
