What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly celebrate this Tezumi matcha bowl for elevating their daily ritual, focusing on its exceptional aesthetic and functional design. The deep Olive Green glaze and subtle color variations confirm its artisanal, handmade quality. The Hantsutsu-gata shape is highly functional, offering ample space for whisking, minimizing splatter, and creating perfect froth.

Know before you buy
The hantsutsu-gata, or half-cylindrical shape, provides a wide, stable base that allows your bamboo whisk to move freely. This design helps you achieve a consistent, frothy suspension without hitting the sides of the bowl.
This bowl is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with warm water and a mild detergent, then drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth to protect the glaze.
No, this bowl is not suitable for microwave, oven, or freezer use. Rapid temperature changes can cause the ceramic to crack or damage the integrity of the glaze.
This item is in very good condition overall, but it does feature a small chip on the outer wall. While this does not affect the bowl's functionality for whisking tea, it is a cosmetic detail to keep in mind.
At 450ml, this bowl is on the larger side, offering plenty of room to whisk matcha vigorously without splashing. It is ideal for those who prefer a more spacious vessel for their daily tea ritual.
