Know before you buy
Katakuchi refers to a traditional Japanese pouring bowl featuring a small spout on one side. While primarily used for whisking matcha, this design makes it versatile enough to serve as a small server for sauces or dressings when not in use for tea.
Not at all. The irregular form is an aesthetic choice that adds character to the piece, but the interior base remains wide enough to accommodate a standard bamboo whisk (chasen) comfortably.
To maintain the integrity of the glaze and the ceramic, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the heat and abrasive detergents can damage the finish over time.
The signature detail indicates the artisan's mark or the specific kiln origin. It serves as a stamp of authenticity, confirming that this piece is a crafted work rather than mass-produced tableware.
Yes, 12.5 cm is a standard and comfortable size for a matcha bowl. It provides ample clearance for the vigorous back-and-forth whisking motion required to create a proper froth without splashing.
