Hasami Ware Aigoma Small Plate (5 Lines) 11cm

Familiar yet new. The versatile small plate from Hasami ware's "Ai-Goma" series quietly enhances your dining landscape.

With its calm, slightly grayish base and five crisp indigo lines, the small plate from the "Ai-Goma" series by Wazangama, a Hasami ware producer, offers a strange sense of familiarity and comfort from the moment you hold it, as if you've been together for years. Its palm-sized diameter of 11cm and the smooth, sleek feel unique to porcelain. Whatever you place on it—condiments, pickles, or after-dinner sweets—it naturally becomes a picture, making it an indispensable supporting player for your daily dining table.

Comfortable 100g weight and smooth texture that fits your fingertips

Gently cradled in both hands, it feels light at approximately 100g, yet possesses a delicate weight that never feels cheap. The surface has a glossy finish, and when you run your finger over it, you feel the pleasant, smooth sensation characteristic of porcelain. The subtle differences in the hand-painted patterns, the faint iron spots (small black dots) that appear on the surface of the plate, and even the glaze drips all contribute to the joy of appreciating the "individuality of the ware," something mass-produced items lack.

Versatility that transforms everyday ingredients into a "feast," regardless of Japanese or Western style

The contrast between the calm grayish color and the sharp indigo border lines (komagumi) is truly a "frame" that enhances your dishes. It harmonizes wonderfully with not only Japanese ingredients like thinly sliced green onions and vibrant pickles, but also Western desserts such as macarons and bite-sized baked goods. You'll notice how even a small, everyday dish on this plate transforms into something elegant and refined.

Durable specifications unique to Hasami ware, made for everyday use

Hasami ware has long been cherished as "everyday tableware" that supports people's daily lives.
