Know before you buy
Yes, the perfectly round shape is designed for ease of use. It provides ample space for your bamboo whisk to move freely, making it an excellent choice for those new to the matcha ritual.
Mino-yaki is a traditional Japanese pottery style from the Gifu Prefecture known for its high quality and diverse glazing techniques. This bowl showcases the Oribe style, which is celebrated for its playful, artistic use of green glazes and unique underpainting.
Because this bowl is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it gently with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive sponges to protect the delicate crazed finish and the integrity of the glaze.
No, this bowl is not microwave, oven, or freezer safe. It is intended specifically for the preparation and enjoyment of matcha, and sudden temperature changes could damage the ceramic.
Crazing refers to a network of fine, hairline cracks in the glaze layer. This is a common and intentional aesthetic feature in traditional Japanese ceramics that adds depth and character to the bowl's surface.
