Know before you buy
Kyo-yaki is a traditional style of pottery from Kyoto, Japan, known for its refined aesthetic and artistic variety. Choosing a Kyo-yaki chawan connects your daily ritual to centuries of Japanese ceramic history and craftsmanship.
The handbell shape provides a comfortable grip for your hands while whisking. Its specific dimensions and volume are designed to give you enough room to move your chasen (bamboo whisk) freely to create a smooth, frothy matcha.
The slight wobble is a common characteristic of handcrafted, irregular ceramics and does not impact the bowl's stability during the whisking process. It is a natural byproduct of the artisanal firing process and adds to the unique character of the piece.
Yes, this bowl is not dishwasher, microwave, oven, or freezer safe. To preserve the finish and integrity of the ceramic, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap and drying it thoroughly after each use.
The brushed white interior is a functional design choice that provides a high-contrast backdrop for your matcha. This allows you to better appreciate the vibrant, deep green color of the tea as you prepare it.
