Know before you buy
The Katakuchi design features a built-in spout, which allows you to pour your prepared matcha into other vessels or cups with precision and minimal mess. It is particularly useful if you prefer to whisk your tea in the bowl and then transfer it to a serving cup.
Yes, it is crafted from durable ceramic designed to withstand the daily whisking process. While it is an artisanal piece, it is built to be a functional tool for your regular matcha ritual.
We recommend hand washing the bowl with mild soap and warm water to preserve the integrity of the purple glaze and the Starshell pattern. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can damage the finish over time.
The Starshell pattern is integrated into the glaze, providing a smooth interior surface that is ideal for whisking. It will not snag your bamboo whisk or impede the creation of a consistent, frothy matcha.
While specifically designed for the matcha ritual, its spouted shape makes it a versatile piece for serving sauces, dressings, or small side dishes. Its aesthetic appeal also makes it a beautiful decorative object when not in use.
