Know before you buy

Yes, with a diameter of 11 cm and a height of 9 cm, this bowl provides ample space for the circular whisking motion required to create a proper froth. Its dimensions are specifically tailored for traditional matcha preparation.
Yes, each piece is handcrafted by Japanese artisans and features a unique artist signature. It also arrives in a protective wood presentation box, which is ideal for storage or gifting.
