Know before you buy
The half-cylindrical shape provides ample vertical space and a wide enough base to whisk your matcha vigorously without splashing, ensuring a smooth, frothy consistency.
No, this bowl is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate nature of the Mino-yaki ceramic and the artisanal glaze, we recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap and air-drying.
At 400ml, this bowl is on the larger side, making it very versatile. It provides plenty of room for whisking larger portions of matcha or preparing usucha (thin tea) without the risk of spilling over the sides.
Because this is authentic Mino-yaki pottery, each piece is unique. The mottled green and brown glaze patterns will vary slightly from bowl to bowl, which is a hallmark of this traditional craft.
Like most high-quality ceramic teaware, the bowl may develop a patina over time with frequent use. To keep it in the best condition, rinse it thoroughly with warm water immediately after each use to prevent tea residue from settling into the glaze.
