11. White Sail Glass

In the early Meiji period, Otaru flourished as the gateway to the development of Hokkaido. Cargo ships known as "Kitamaebune" flapped their pure white sails on the open seas, bringing great wealth to the area through their travels to and from Honshu.

The "White Sail Glass" is a glass inspired by the sails of Kitamae ships sailing across the sea. It was made in a seaside workshop in Otaru, the city of glass. You can enjoy the changing atmosphere depending on the color of the drink you pour into it.

13. market TOTE

Currently, there are six markets in Otaru: the Central Market, the Central Wholesale Market, the Sankaku Market, the Uroko Market, the Minamitaru Market, and the Shinminamitaru Market. In the past few years, the Irifune Market, the Temiya Market, and the Myoken Market have all disappeared one after another.

Hoping to preserve Otaru's market culture forever, the ICHIBA TOTE was created by combining the sewing techniques cultivated over the years of Sasaki Co., Ltd., a tent factory founded in 1945, with UNGAPLUS' passion for the market. Grab the ICHIBA TOTE, made from durable tarpaulin fabric used for tents and other outdoor construction, and head to the market!
