Know before you buy
Yes, the bowl is specifically designed for matcha preparation. Its 11.5 cm diameter provides ample space for a bamboo whisk to move freely, ensuring you can achieve a proper froth.
The signature mark serves as a hallmark of authentic Japanese craftsmanship. It indicates that the piece was created by a specific artisan or studio, confirming its origin and traditional production methods.
To maintain the integrity of the glaze and ceramic, we recommend hand washing the bowl with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the finish over time.
Because each bowl is handcrafted, the glaze application will have slight variations. This makes every piece unique, though you can expect the same warm, distinctive brown aesthetic shown in the product imagery.
While it is optimized for the matcha ritual, the bowl is perfectly functional for serving other hot teas or small portions of soup. Its durable ceramic construction makes it a versatile addition to your tableware collection.
