Know before you buy
The wan-nari shape is a traditional, bowl-like form that provides a wide, open base. This design is specifically engineered to allow your bamboo whisk (chasen) to move freely, making it easier to achieve a consistent, frothy matcha.
Because this bowl is not dishwasher safe, you should hand wash it gently using warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive sponges to protect the delicate crazed glaze and gilded maple leaf details, and always ensure it is completely dry before storing.
No, this bowl is not suitable for use in a microwave or oven. The ceramic material and decorative glazes are sensitive to extreme temperature changes, which could cause the bowl to crack or the finish to degrade.
A crazed glaze features a network of fine, intentional cracks in the surface. This is a classic aesthetic technique in Japanese pottery that adds depth and texture to the piece, giving it an authentic, antique-inspired appearance.
Yes, 300 ml is an ideal size for a standard bowl of matcha. It provides enough room to whisk the tea comfortably without splashing, while still being compact enough to hold securely in your hands during the ceremony.
