Know before you buy
Yes, the 350ml capacity and wide 12.2cm diameter provide ample space to whisk your matcha comfortably without splashing.
This bowl is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it gently with warm water and a soft sponge, then drying it thoroughly before storage.
Wan-nari refers to a classic, bowl-like shape that is rounded and comfortable to hold in the hands, making it a traditional and ergonomic choice for tea ceremonies.
No, this piece is not microwave, oven, or freezer safe. It is intended strictly for the preparation and enjoyment of tea.
The hakeme technique involves applying a white slip with a coarse brush, creating a dynamic, streaked pattern that adds texture and visual interest to the interior of the bowl.
Because each piece is handcrafted by Asami Yoshizou at the Yoshimine Kiln, there will be slight variations in the glaze, slip inlay, and brush strokes, making your bowl a unique work of art.
