NEW ARRIVALS

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.

Stackable plates that highlight the texture of "clay", the origin of ceramics.

The combination of glazed and unglazed parts expresses the rich, natural texture of the clay.

Neat storage & practicality

They can be stored neatly stacked, making them versatile for everyday use and entertaining.

Available in 7 sizes

Choose flexibly according to your needs, from small plates to main plates.

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.

The "unimet" brand was born from the precision machining technology cultivated over many years by "Ishibashi Tekkosho" in Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, and the hands of designer Manabu Takasu (TGDA), who is active both in Japan and internationally. This beautiful stainless steel cutlery rest was created by them as they pursue new possibilities for metal.

What is particularly noteworthy is its exquisite size of 12cm. Because it is designed to be longer than a typical chopstick rest, it beautifully accommodates not only Western styling with knives and forks arranged side-by-side, but also "Wayo-secchu" (Japanese-Western fusion) settings common in modern Japanese dining, such as "chopsticks and a spoon" or "chopsticks and a fork."

The delicate motifs expressed through laser processing soften the sharp coolness peculiar to metal, adding an elegant and warm nuance to the table. The surface has a gloss (smooth) finish, which elegantly reflects light and enhances the tableware.

Furthermore, it is dishwasher-safe, which is a welcome feature for a specialty store, making it easy to use for daily use without worry. There is no need to worry about breakage, and it can be used for a long time as "lifetime tableware," making it a perfect item that we can confidently recommend not only for your own home but also as a gift for loved ones.

"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.

[By Size] Our recommended uses

You can choose from all 6 sizes (80-280), which are directly linked to their uses, to suit your occasion.

• 280 / 240 (Large Plate): For main dishes, pasta, or one-plate lunches, making ample use of negative space.
• 200 / 160 (Medium Plate): The most versatile size to have multiple of, for side dishes, appetizers, or dessert plates.
• 120 / 80 (Small Plate): For sauces, spices, or amuse-bouches. A size you can never have too many of.

This teacup and saucer, with its refined and modern appearance, is crafted by Riso Kiln, a renowned Arita ware pottery.

The most significant appeal of this ware lies in its "texture contrast," which truly surprises you upon touching it.

The outer surface of the cup and the surface of the saucer, which come into contact with your hands, are sandblasted, giving them an exquisitely elegant and smooth matte texture, reminiscent of fine silk or finely textured unglazed pottery. In contrast, the inner surface, where beverages and lips touch, is finished with a lustrous glaze (gloss finish), making it smooth and sleek. This contrast beautifully enhances the color of the tea and, at the same time, is practical as it prevents tea stains from adhering easily. This is a functional beauty that we, as a specialty shop, confidently recommend.

The "shinogi" (fluting) pattern on the surface of the ware truly shines when it catches the light. Precisely because of the matte surface created by the blasting process, the light is softly diffused, creating a sculptural, deeply refined shadow on the table that goes beyond mere "white."

With a full capacity of 200ml, it's perfect for leisurely enjoying your everyday coffee, black tea, or herbal tea. While exuding the crisp elegance characteristic of porcelain, it's also microwave and dishwasher safe, making it a reliable staple for daily life, not just for special occasions.

The amazing thing about Risogama is how the entire piece remains surprisingly sharp and stylish, even with a glaze that is so expressive and, if not careful, can become thick and heavy.

What we particularly want to convey is the 'feel' when held and the 'pleasantness' on the lips. The ridged (shinogi) texture on the side of the cup fits smoothly into the fingers, making it exceptionally easy to hold. The rim is finished thinly and cleanly, allowing you to directly experience the aroma and taste of your tea or coffee.

This is a masterpiece that skillfully combines the 'precision' of cutting-edge technology like 3D modeling with the 'accidental beauty' created by the glaze. As tableware specialists, we confidently recommend this item.

When you hold this cup, the first thing that will surprise you is its texture. Despite being ceramic, the surface has a "wood grain" pattern that looks just like real wood. While providing visual warmth and an interesting tactile feel, the material is genuine Arita "porcelain."

Unlike real wooden cups, there's no need to worry about coffee stains, oil, or odors seeping in. The biggest advantage of this tableware is its combination of "easy care" and "high durability," allowing it to be washed without hesitation for everyday use.

The greatest appeal of this tokkuri is the exquisite "hand-painted decoration" by skilled artisans. At a time when printed and transferred wares are becoming more common, the "nejiri jimon" (twisted pattern) is meticulously hand-painted onto the beautifully plump curved surface of the "hyotan" (gourd), which has long been considered a good luck charm.

The deep coloration created by the overglaze and underglaze, and the brushstrokes that clearly convey the artisan's touch, give it an overwhelming presence and warmth unique to handmade items. The smooth and glossy texture of the porcelain is also pleasant, making it an impeccable item for celebratory occasions or for entertaining important guests.

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.
