Medium Plates 15-23.9cm

The moment it's gently placed on the table, its soft pastel colors and radially carved shadows create a breathtakingly serene atmosphere. This 16cm plate, crafted by Yamahira Kiln, a renowned Arita-yaki pottery maker globally acclaimed for its ultra-thin "eggshell" porcelain, is not just visually stunning.

The smooth texture unique to porcelain that you feel when cupping the rim with both hands, and the comfortable, stable weight, belying its delicate appearance, speak to the assured craftsmanship. It's a true "perfect frame for food," transforming your daily meals and sweets into surprisingly fresh and vibrant presentations, as if each table setting were a painting.

A silky-smooth feel that molds to your fingers, and the lustrous texture of "diamond carving" woven by light

The intricate "diamond carving" on the surface of the plate, when gently touched with a fingertip, reveals not sharp, edgy indentations, but a silky-smooth, almost suction-like feel enveloped in transparent glaze. It sparkles in natural light and casts soft shadows under warm evening illumination, maximizing the charm of the three淡い colors: plain "white," lovely "pink," and warm "yellow." Cutlery glides smoothly without catching, allowing for a noiseless meal accompanied by a pleasant clinking sound—a testament to its meticulously designed form.

A "16cm flat canvas" where negative space enhances beauty

With a diameter of 16cm and a height of just 1.2cm, its refined, almost flat form modernizes anything placed on it, whether Japanese or Western. Simply placing newly bought macarons or canelés in the center will draw the eye inward along the diamond carving lines, creating an elegant display reminiscent of a high-end patisserie showcase. Used as a saucer for a teacup or as an underplate for small appetizers, layered with existing tableware, it transforms an ordinary dining table into an extraordinary scene.

The "beauty of utility" infused with master craftsmanship, and overwhelming practicality for everyday life

The work of Yamahira Kiln, with its advanced techniques for firing porcelain to its thinnest and most beautiful, also translates directly into ease of everyday use. Despite its delicate and elegant appearance, the firmly fired Arita-yaki porcelain is extremely durable. Its flat shape allows for stacking multiple plates of different colors without taking up much space in the cupboard. Of course, it is also dishwasher safe, making it tough enough for heavy use from busy morning breakfasts to evening drinks, not just for special occasions, perfectly fitting modern lifestyles.

A Tough Dish that Defies Arita Ware Conventions by Withstanding Flames

Among Arita ware, which is strongly associated with translucent white porcelain, this "Black Glaze Stone Grilled 15cm" stands out. It was created by Anrakugama, the only pottery kiln in Arita specializing in "heat-resistant materials." It was born from "ARITA PLUS," a project that pursues the ultimate professional-use tableware sought by top chefs, all while inheriting 400 years of Arita ware's traditional techniques.

Also Functions as a "Grilled Stone (Pellet)" When Heated Directly Over a Flame

The greatest feature of this product is its "direct flame compatibility," thanks to its excellent fire and heat-resistant ceramic. In addition to cooking in a microwave or oven, the dish itself can be directly heated over a flame to become piping hot. When serving steaks, hamburgers, etc., it can be used as a "pellet" to adjust the doneness of the meat or keep it warm. Your home dining table will be enveloped in a special atmosphere, just like a high-end teppanyaki restaurant or French restaurant.

Enjoy "Aging" as it Changes Expression with Use

The substantial matte black glaze is not only an excellent canvas for showcasing the vibrant colors of food, but it also gradually changes its appearance with each use. The delight unique to this vessel is being able to enjoy the "aging" process as it develops a deeper texture through being heated over a fire and absorbing oil with continued use.

It boasts high durability and strength, and is dishwasher and freezer safe. Tough and practical, yet it stimulates a chef's creativity. From professional kitchens to discerning home dining tables, it delivers the heat and deliciousness of food without compromise.

高い耐久性と強度を備え、食洗機や冷凍庫にも対応。タフで実用的ながら、料理人の創造力を掻き立てる一枚です。プロフェッショナルの現場からこだわりのご家庭の食卓まで、料理の熱と美味しさを逃さずお届けします。

Intentionally Not Heated: As a "Simple Black Flat Plate"

Although it is a heat-resistant plate, many chefs deliberately use it as a "simple black dish" without heating it over a fire. For example, in soba restaurants, its matte and rustic earthy texture is utilized for serving tempura and appetizers.

The color, painted texture, and weight of individual products may vary slightly. Also, some products may have small black spots (iron powder) visible on the surface of the vessel or glaze drips, but this does not affect the quality.
