Know before you buy
Because of the delicate 3D sakura petals and the porous nature of the coarse ceramic, we recommend hand-washing this bowl gently with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid soaking it for long periods to maintain the integrity of the material.
No, this bowl is not microwave safe. The coarse ceramic material can be sensitive to rapid temperature changes, so it is best to heat your food separately before transferring it to the bowl.
With a diameter of 15.4cm (6.06 inches) and a height of 7.5cm (2.95 inches), this bowl is specifically designed for single-serving ramen, udon, or hearty rice-based donburi dishes.
The coarse ceramic has a tactile, organic feel that is slightly textured rather than perfectly smooth. This finish is a hallmark of the traditional Setoyaki style, providing a rustic and authentic Japanese aesthetic.
The three-dimensional petals are integrated into the ceramic body during the hand-pressing process. While they are durable enough for daily use, they should be handled with care to avoid chipping or snagging during cleaning.
