Know before you buy
A Katakuchi is a traditional Japanese pouring bowl featuring a small spout. While it is designed to make pouring liquids easier, it is excellent for matcha because it allows you to whisk the tea and then pour it precisely into your serving cup without spilling.
Not at all. The irregular shape is primarily an aesthetic choice that adds character to the piece. The interior remains spacious enough to accommodate a standard bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) comfortably.
Yes, its durable ceramic construction makes it versatile. While optimized for matcha, it works well as a serving vessel for small portions of soup, dipping sauces, or even as a decorative catch-all bowl.
We recommend hand washing the bowl with mild soap and warm water to preserve the finish. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it through high-heat dishwasher cycles to ensure the longevity of the ceramic glaze.
The rich maroon finish is applied to complement the irregular, organic shape of the ceramic. Due to the handcrafted nature of the piece, you may notice subtle variations in the depth and texture of the color, which is a hallmark of its unique design.
