Know before you buy
While the durable ceramic construction is high-quality, we recommend hand-washing your bowl to preserve the integrity of the handcrafted finish. Avoid using it in the microwave to prevent thermal shock to the pottery.
Yes, the rounded bottom and 4.5-inch diameter are specifically designed to provide enough room for a bamboo whisk to move freely. This shape helps you achieve a frothy, clump-free consistency much faster than using a standard kitchen bowl.
Because each piece is created using traditional Minoyaki techniques, there will be slight variations in the glaze and texture. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of authentic Japanese pottery and ensure that your bowl is one-of-a-kind.
The whisk holder is designed to maintain the shape of your bamboo whisk's tines after use. By resting the whisk on the holder, you allow it to air dry properly, which prevents mold growth and extends the lifespan of the bamboo.
Yes, the 3-inch height and generous capacity are well-suited for both traditional thin tea (usucha) and larger matcha lattes. It provides ample space to whisk the matcha base before adding your steamed milk.
