Kiyami

Kiyami [冷免; きやみ] is a city located in Shinkō Prefecture. It has a population of around 110,000. 
The area around present-day Kiyami city has been inhabited for thousands of years. Archaeologists have found stone tools from the Kantonese Paleolithic period and ceramic shards from the Nō Period at numerous locations in the area. Up until the 12th century, Kiyami was ruled by a small clan known as the Hami, who had considerable influence over vegetable farming in the area, particularly root vegetables such as yams, carrots and horse radish. Once under the control of the Shin forces, Kiyami became a centre for agriculture through the 13th and 14th centuries, with wide extensive farmlands taking up the majority of the area. In the mid-1300s Kiyami took in the neighbouring village of Ukatsu to accommodate its growing population.
In 1865, interesting archaeological remains were discovered in Kiyami's eastern ward. The remains consisted of a long-buried wheelhouse from the early 700s, along with some tools and well-preserved human remains.

Along with its diminishing agricultural industry, Kiyami specialises in brewing, particularly traditional Kantonese liquor called nōzan which is made from potatoes.
