Warmth to cradle in both hands, and the beauty of a single pour. A "Mino Ware Spouted Matcha Bowl" to bring composure to your daily life.

This 330ml spouted matcha bowl, designed to fit into modern life while inheriting the tradition of Mino Ware made in Gifu Prefecture, is characterized by its wide, comfortable form that allows for smooth whisking of matcha, and its distinctive single "spout." Going beyond the realm of tea ceremony, this vessel is full of charm as a household tool that can inspire creative uses in various everyday situations, such as a sauce bowl or a small serving dish.

The earthy texture that fits your fingertips and the reassuring capacity of 330ml

The moment you pick up the bowl, the satisfying weight of the clay in your hands and the smooth, moist feel that conforms to your fingertips provide a comforting sense of security. The 330ml capacity offers ample depth and width for preparing a generous amount of matcha, and its exquisite size prevents spillage even when whisking vigorously. The rim is gently shaped to fit comfortably against your lips, allowing you to directly savor the rich aroma and smooth texture of the tea. You can choose one of two distinct patterns to suit your lifestyle.

Whisk, pour, plate. The true essence of a frame for food.

While serving its original purpose as a matcha bowl, the true charm of this vessel lies in its versatility as a "frame for food." Beyond making authentic matcha lattes by pouring whisked matcha into milk, it can be placed at the center of the table filled with homemade viscous dressings or tempura dipping sauce. Furthermore, when used as a Japanese dessert bowl for gently arranging blanched seasonal greens, or serving matcha ice cream with mochi balls, the accent of the spout enhances the visual appeal of the dish, transforming everyday meals into refined creations with a touch of elegance.

The reliable craftsmanship of Mino Ware and its practicality for modern living

Although each piece is carefully fired one by one by Mino Ware artisans in Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's leading ceramic production areas, it excels in usability as an "everyday tool." Its wide opening makes it easy to wash, and its cleverly designed form allows for neat storage in a cupboard without interfering with other dishes. While retaining the warmth of traditional craftsmanship, it possesses the durability for unreserved daily use in modern lifestyles.

This matcha bowl, a beautiful fusion of the traditional warmth of Mino Ware and the functionality of a spout, holds infinite possibilities beyond being a mere tea utensil. It is an item you'll want to use for a long time, not only enriching your tea time but also freely updating the very essence of how a vessel can be used. It will undoubtedly become an irreplaceable companion that adds a touch of quality to your daily life.

Recommended for:

• Those who want to easily enjoy authentic matcha lattes and affogatos at home.
• Those looking for a versatile and beautiful vessel that can also be used as a sauce bowl or dessert bowl.
• Those who appreciate the earthy texture that fits their palm and Japanese tableware that embodies the craftsmanship of artisans.
• Those seeking tea utensils that are easy to store and wash, and can be used casually every day.

This small rinka plate, exuding a refined ambiance, is a signature piece from Riso Kiln, a leading Arita ware manufacturer. The contrast between the delicate "rinka rim", intricately shaped by skilled artisans, and the sharp, modern "Ichimatsu pattern" is truly exquisite.

This small plate elevates the hospitality in sophisticated settings such as sushi restaurants, tempura restaurants, and traditional Japanese restaurants.

The indigo Ichimatsu pattern, standing out against the pristine white porcelain, adds a适度 sense of tension and elegance to the space the moment it is presented to a guest.

Despite its beautiful design, it meets the essential professional requirements of "good stackability" and "durability for dishwashers and heavy use," which is typical of Riso Kiln. As a condiment dish, gari holder, or appetizer plate, it plays a vital supporting role in connecting the chef's dedication to the customer's five senses.

"1616 / arita japan" is a brand that introduces new standards for diverse modern food cultures, based on traditional Arita ware techniques. Among the series, which began with creative director Teruhiro Yanagihara and a team of Dutch designers, we particularly recommend the "TY Round Deep Plate (Grey)."

The unique "smooth" comfort you can feel

When you hold the product, your fingertips will feel the matte, smooth warmth of the clay, distinct from the glossy texture of glaze. This unique grey texture creates soft shadows within the dish depending on the light, making the colors of the food (reds, greens, and the sheen of sauces) surprisingly vivid.

Breaking free from traditional Japanese tableware "dimensions (sun)"

Most traditional Japanese tableware is made according to the old "sun" size standard (approximately 3cm increments). However, this series deliberately offers its own unique size range, unconstrained by traditional Japanese tableware sizes.

Its geometric, minimalist form, stripped of all waste, beautifully accommodates all genres of cuisine, from Japanese food to French, Italian, and international dishes like spice curries.

Professional-grade "toughness" that belies its beauty

Another appeal of this tableware is its overwhelming practicality.

While some may worry that "matte textured dishes are difficult to handle," these are durable porcelain fired at high density. They are compatible with microwaves, dishwashers, ovens, and freezers. From everyday home use to demanding restaurant and cafe operations, they serve as reliable partners.

*Incidentally, compared to the "white" items in the same series, these "grey" items are slightly larger and heavier, giving them a more substantial feel.
