Places whose names include the Chinese character "竃" (kamado - kitchen stove, oven) in Minamiise-cho (former Minamijima-cho) are believed to have been the community of the remnants of the Taira family where they settled and made a living producing salt.
南伊勢町（旧南島町）に多く見られる「竃」が付く地名は、平家の残党がそこに住み着いて塩を作って生計を立てていた集落であるという。
