Know before you buy
Because these plates are handcrafted in Japan, you can expect subtle variations in the glaze and texture. Each piece has a unique character, meaning no two plates will look exactly identical.
Yes, the plate is both microwave and dishwasher safe, making it practical for daily use. However, it is not suitable for use in an oven or over an open flame.
The 8.5-inch square surface is versatile enough for main courses, pasta, or rice dishes. Its generous footprint also makes it an excellent choice for serving appetizers or shared side dishes.
The engraving provides a tactile, artistic finish but is designed to be smooth enough for easy cleaning. It does not trap food particles, so standard washing by hand or in the dishwasher is perfectly effective.
The plate is crafted from durable, high-quality ceramic intended for everyday use. While it is sturdy, it should be handled with the same care as any fine ceramic dinnerware to prevent edge chipping.
