Know before you buy
A Yunomi is a traditional Japanese teacup designed without a handle. It is meant to be held directly in the hands, allowing you to feel the warmth of the tea, and is typically used for casual, everyday tea drinking.
No, this teacup is not microwave or dishwasher safe. The delicate Arita porcelain requires hand-washing to preserve the integrity of the material and the Rose Madder pattern.
This cup has a 4 oz. capacity, which is the standard size for traditional Japanese tea service. It is ideal for savoring concentrated brews like sencha or gyokuro.
While the porcelain will warm up, the cup is designed to be held comfortably. If you are serving boiling water, we recommend letting the tea steep for a moment or holding the cup near the base until it reaches a comfortable temperature.
Arita porcelain originates from Japan's oldest porcelain production area. It is highly regarded for its refined, durable quality and its historical influence on global ceramic aesthetics.
