Tableware and Kitchenware for Your Home

You'll know it the moment you hold it in both hands. A masterpiece of Hasami ware that transforms your everyday noodle dishes into a feast.

Carrying steaming hot ramen or udon to the table, accompanied by rising steam. This seemingly ordinary daily scene is elevated to an exceptional experience by the Ireko bowl (large) from "IREKO," an original brand by Hamatoh, a long-established Hasami ware wholesaler. Its exquisite 16cm diameter and generous 800ml capacity leave a beautiful margin even when filled to the brim with soup, lending dignity to the dish. Available in two patterns—the captivating white of Hakuji (white porcelain) and the warm, hand-drawn-like Aigoma (indigo horse)—both are versatile performers that shine with Japanese, Western, or Chinese cuisine. More than just making food taste good, this reliable companion brings the joy of admiring tableware to your dining table.

A comfortable weight and smooth texture that fits perfectly in your hands

When you lift the bowl with both hands, your fingertips feel the smooth, alluring texture unique to Hasami porcelain. Despite its large 800ml capacity, when you lift it during a meal, it never feels clunky or burdensome on your wrist. This is thanks to the meticulously calculated balance of thickness and center of gravity. Even with hot soup, a gently comforting warmth transmits through the bowl to both hands, and the smooth rim against your lips is so pleasant that you'll want to savor every last drop of soup.

As a frame for your dishes, vividly repainting your usual scenery

True to its philosophy of "tableware that makes the food the star," this bowl reliably enhances any dish placed in it. The pure white canvas of "Hakuji" (white porcelain) distinctly highlights the clear amber of soy sauce ramen and the green of the scallion topping. On the other hand, the warm, hand-drawn-like striped pattern of "Aigoma" (indigo horse) adds a rhythmic, blossoming splash of color to often brown rice bowls like oyakodon or katsudon. Your everyday home cooking will look as appealing as a dish from a renowned restaurant, dramatically transforming the dining table scenery.

The aesthetics of "nesting" and tough practicality for everyday life

While steeped in the history of Hasami ware and the craftsmanship of artisans, IREKO's greatest charm lies in its ability to blend seamlessly into the real-life routines of its users. Thanks to its "nesting" design, from which it gets its name, the beauty of stacking multiple bowls is impressive. Though ramen bowls can be bulky, they astonishingly save space in your cupboard. Furthermore, to suit modern busy lifestyles, they are fully compatible with microwave reheating and dishwasher cleaning. Their tough practicality, highly praised even in restaurants, means you can use them vigorously every day without worrying about chips or breaks.

This bowl is a magnificent fusion of the dependable quality of traditional Hasami ware and the practicality thoroughly researched for modern dining. It acts as a beautiful "frame" while causing no stress in cleanup. The more you use this Ireko bowl, the more it will evoke an unconscious affection, making you think, "I just keep reaching for this one every day." It's a lifelong companion that transforms not only special occasion feasts but also simple udon on a tiring day into a deeply satisfying and blissful meal.

• Those who want to enjoy everyday noodle dishes like ramen and udon with a more elevated appearance.
• Those who want to buy bowls for the whole family but are concerned about storage space in the cupboard.
• Those looking for high-quality, durable tableware that can be used freely in the dishwasher and microwave.

静かなる存在感。日常の食卓をレストランに変える「金結晶」の魔法

テーブルに置いた瞬間、空気がすっと研ぎ澄まされるような存在感。有田焼・李荘窯が手がけたこの17.5cmプレートは、独自の「金結晶釉」が織りなすマットで鈍い輝きが、いつもの料理を非日常の一皿へと押し上げてくれます。指先を這わせると伝わる、さらさらとした土の温もりと、縁に施された鎬（しのぎ）の緻密なレリーフ。ただの「黒」や「金」ではない、焼成の魔法が生み出した唯一無二の結晶のテクスチャーは、お肉の艶やかなソースや、みずみずしい野菜の色合いをこれ以上ないほどに引き立てる、最高のキャンバスとなるはずです。

料理の鮮度を際立たせる、魔法の「金結晶釉」

余白の美を演出する「鎬（しのぎ）」のレリーフ

お皿のリム（縁）にぐるりと施された鎬（しのぎ）模様。光の陰影を生み出すこの細やかなレリーフがあることで、器全体が平坦にならず、盛り付けた料理の周囲に美しい「余白」を生み出します。中央に少しこんもりと盛り付けるだけで、プロ顔負けのスタイリングが完成します。

美しさと実用性を両立する「強化磁器」

有田焼の伝統を受け継ぎながらも、現代のライフスタイルに寄り添うのが李荘窯の魅力。このプレートは「強化磁器」で作られており、見た目の重厚感や繊細な美しさからは想像できないほど、日常使いに適したタフさを備えています。電子レンジはもちろん、食器洗浄機にも対応。特別な日だけでなく、日々の食卓で気兼ねなくガシガシ使える頼もしさも、この器が手放せなくなる理由の一つです。

The "Old Silver Glaze Tobikanna Lidded Bowl" crafted by Arita ware's Riso Kiln. The delicate blade marks (tobikanna) carved by skilled artisans create beautiful shadows, and the brass knob adds a refined accent.

This piece holds a mysterious story, making even the moment you open the lid an enjoyable experience.

This two-compartment dish from Kinzen Kiln sublimates the deep, modern green of traditional Oribe glaze into a stylish design that fits contemporary dining tables.

Because it uses high-strength porcelain clay unique to Arita ware, it has sharper edges than typical pottery Oribe, giving it a dignified appearance. The accumulation of glaze (gradation) creates a rich, unique expression on each plate, and the beautiful green, which changes its luster depending on how the light hits it, brings a comfortable sense of quality and a tightening effect to the dining table.

This partitioned condiment dish is highly versatile in professional settings, such as for tempura, sushi, yakiniku, and Japanese haute cuisine. The deep green of the Oribe glaze vividly enhances the colors of condiments like salt, wasabi, and green onions, elevating the presence of the dish.

When you think of Imari ware, many may imagine its translucent, lustrous porcelain surface. However, the most distinctive feature of the "Moist" series, as its name suggests, is its high-quality matte texture that is both "moist and smooth."

This unique texture beautifully brings out the soft shadows of hydrangea petals, making Japanese sweets, appetizers, sashimi, and other foods appear even more elegant and fresh.

Despite its delicate and artistic form, its high practicality, such as being "microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe" to suit modern lifestyles, is a testament to the technical prowess unique to the esteemed Hataman Toen kiln. It is suitable for a wide range of occasions, from daily use to entertaining guests.
