Know before you buy
Hantsutsu-gata refers to a specific 'half-cylindrical' shape common in traditional Japanese tea bowls. This design is favored for matcha preparation because the straight, vertical walls provide ample room for the bamboo whisk to move freely without hitting the sides.
This bowl is not dishwasher safe, so it should be hand-washed gently with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers to preserve the integrity of the Shino glaze and the hand-painted motif.
Yes, 400ml is quite generous for a matcha bowl. While a standard serving of matcha uses only a small amount of water, this extra volume is ideal for whisking vigorously without splashing over the rim.
Because this bowl is uniquely crafted and features a hand-painted motif, slight variations in the glaze pattern and brushwork are expected. You will receive a one-of-a-kind piece that shares the same style and dimensions as the one pictured.
No, this bowl is not microwave or oven safe. To warm the bowl before preparing your tea, we recommend rinsing it with hot water and drying it thoroughly before adding your matcha powder.
