●“Midoriya-Miso”
It is a kind of miso blended rice-miso and wheat-miso. The one of the oldest miso stores in Japan established in 1902 is proud of it. We, Ayuno-sato, use it for miso-soup as well.

●“Tenugui” originated by Ayuno-sato
The “tenugui (Japanese hand towel made of 100% cotton)” was designed by an old tenugui shop in Kyoto, “Enraku-ya,” and it pleases guests as a souvenir or for the memory of trip. There are two designs: one is named “En” (the picture above) after the word “circle” and “relationship” in Japanese, because both of them have same pronunciation “En.” The other is named “Wa” (the picture below) because of its plain traditional Japanese style.
