Our Top Picks (In-stock items)

Zuiho Kiln Luxury Koshuhai (L) Rock Glass 300ml

Koshuhai are glasses developed with "aroma" as their theme by a group of Arita ware potters and shochu manufacturers, pursuing both design and functional beauty. You can enjoy the aroma more fully when the glass is filled to between half and seven-tenths of its capacity. The L size is suitable for beverages enjoyed in larger quantities, such as shochu or highballs. It is also recommended for coffee, Japanese tea, and black tea. By allowing the aroma to circulate within the vessel, you can experience a deeper aroma and taste. The constriction in the lower part provides a finger-hold, making it easy to grip and less likely to drop. Additionally, the rounded inner bottom makes it easy to stir with a muddler or spoon. The three-footed base prevents it from sticking to coasters.

ALONGU Bowl (Small) 12.5cm

We named our brand "ALONGU" (明論具) in our quest for tableware that embodies the present state of Japanese cuisine, with its blend of diverse nationalities and regional characteristics, and hints at its future. By deliberately adding "U" to "ALONG," mimicking Japanese romanization, and combining it with the kanji "明論具," we express that while these vessels embrace today's diverse and multinational dining, they are also crafted in Japan.

The designer is Jin Kuramoto, a product designer known for creations such as HAY's "KNIT," arflex Japan's "JK," and audio-technica's wireless earphones. This is Kuramoto's first venture into tableware among his many product designs. The art direction is handled by graphic designer Rei Masaki. Born in New York and active in Tokyo since 2017, Masaki is a Japanese-American whose perspective allows the world of "ALONGU" to be expressed across borders and nationalities.

The ALONGU series challenges the image of porcelain products having a uniform finish. Instead, it is crafted with a focus on a wide range of finishes, including glazes, to allow you to enjoy the unique individuality and subtle variations in the material's character.

ALONGU Inspection Standards

While we only sell products that have passed the manufacturer's inspection, please be aware of the following product characteristics:

• "Yakishime" products are fired at high temperatures without glaze, so surface black spots and color variations may occur depending on weather conditions during firing. Also, if left unwashed for extended periods after use, oil stains may develop.
• The rim of "Fuchisabi" products is treated with an iron-based glaze, so color variations may occur depending on weather conditions during firing.
• "Seiji" products may have glaze pooling due to the application of glaze, and color variations may occur depending on weather conditions during firing.
• "Tenmoku" products use a delicate glaze created by crystalline components, so color variations may occur depending on weather conditions during firing.
• We actively use glazes with rich expressions, so products with small spots or unevenness are considered good quality.
• If you have any other concerns, please contact us.

The inside of the plate has a "return" to make it easy to scoop food.

Arita Ware Koraku Kiln Gold and Silver Glaze Gourd-Shaped Mini Dish 9.5cm (Amber Glaze / White Porcelain)

While typical gold-glazed dishes are not microwave-safe, this product uses a special gold and silver glaze made from mica and other raw materials, allowing it to be reheated in the microwave.

It overturns the perception that "gold-glazed dishes are difficult to handle," offering practical appeal that aligns with modern lifestyles. You can use it without hesitation not only for special occasions like New Year's but also for everyday dining.

*To maintain its beautiful shimmer for a long time, we recommend gentle hand washing rather than using a dishwasher.

Cutipol GOA (Silver x White)

Cutipol is a cutlery brand from Portugal. Their cutlery combines functionality and design based on ergonomics. Since the center of gravity is close to the head, we recommend holding it around the boundary between the stainless steel and the resin. When new, the resin handle may appear slightly whitish, but it will gradually darken with use. This is because it is polished during the finishing stage of the manufacturing process. Also, applying oil such as olive oil can prevent fading.

Beware of imitations

Our store sources directly from authorized dealers. Knives have a logo etched on the side, and spoons and forks have an engraving on the back of the handle. This cutlery brand is widely imitated. To prevent product swapping, we do not accept returns or exchanges. Please purchase with this understanding.
