Know before you buy
The integrated spout, or katakuchi, allows you to pour your prepared matcha into other vessels with precision. It minimizes spills and drips, making it an excellent choice if you prefer to whisk your tea in the bowl before transferring it to a smaller cup.
Yes, the 5.5-inch diameter provides ample space for a bamboo whisk (chasen) to move freely. This width is essential for incorporating air into the tea, which helps you achieve a smooth, frothy consistency.
No, this bowl is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Because it is artisan-made, we recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap to preserve the integrity of the ceramic finish.
Each piece features a unique finish and texture due to the handmade process. While the dimensions and functionality remain consistent, you should expect slight variations in the glaze and surface appearance, which adds to the bowl's individual character.
With a 12-ounce capacity, this bowl is generously sized for a standard serving of matcha. It provides plenty of room to whisk comfortably without splashing, even if you are preparing a larger volume of tea.
