Know before you buy
We recommend hand washing this ceramic bowl to preserve the integrity of the handcrafted glaze and prevent potential damage from high-heat cycles.
The wide, open design provides ample space for your bamboo whisk to move freely, which is essential for incorporating air and achieving a smooth, consistent froth.
Because each bowl is handcrafted in Japan, you should expect slight variations in the glaze. These natural differences are part of the bowl's unique character and aesthetic.
While it is crafted to meet the standards of a traditional tea ceremony, its durable ceramic construction makes it perfectly suited for your everyday matcha ritual.
The bowl is designed with a comfortable, grounded grip that allows you to hold it securely. However, as with any ceramic vessel, use caution when the bowl is filled with near-boiling water.
