Yoron produces salt and sugarcane vinegar. It is also a coral island, with coral reefs surrounding more than 80 percent of Yoron's coast. When Okinawa was governed by the United States, Yoronjima was the southernmost island Japanese mainlanders could go to for vacation, and it became a tourist spot. Tourism is still a large part of the local economy, with resorts, diving, snorkeling, glass-bottomed boats, windsailing and other sports widely available. It also hosts a variety of excellent restaurants, featuring a local variety of squid ink soup and other original dishes. The creation of fine, handmade pottery is also prominent on the island, and Yoron-Yaki, a pottery studio on the island, is famous throughout Japan. Yoron also hosts other fine craftsman, including a jeweler who specializes in coral and shell jewelry and sells his creations worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“We are the products of editing, rather than of authorship.”
—George Wald (b. 1906)
“Good wine needs no bush,
And perhaps products that people really want need no
hard-sell or soft-sell TV push.
Why not?
Look at pot.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
