<\/p>\nPerched above the Nijo Parking Area along coastal Route 202, Koko produces original ceramics inside her own studio complete with a kiln. Two years ago she expanded, adding a cafe space in which visitors admire her pottery and other collectibles. Another piece of art is her daily special lunch (\u00a51,660 tax included). Using mostly locally sourced veggies, the centerpiece is a large healthy salad accompanied by a hearty homemade soup and warm bread. Served on Koko\u2019s ceramics, it\u2019s almost too pretty to eat! Finish up with her handmade sweets or smoothie \u2013 even better while enjoying the ocean view from her garden or under the covered terrace. The beach is just a few minutes away too!<\/p>\n
