Experience the authentic feel of Japanese dining with our Large Bowls Collection. Bowls are essential in Japanese cuisine. The ceramic bowls in this collection are bigger than rice or miso bowls. Since these dishes contain a lot of soup with a number of 'toppings,' they may be used to serve soba, udon, and ramen noodles. Otherwise, use them for serving family-style dishes, hearty stews, or large salads.

Ceramic bowls and Japanese culture

In Japan, bowls are more than just vessels for food. Japanese dining often uses large and versatile bowls for certain dishes. From ramen and udon to rice and salads, these bowls are designed to present food in a way that celebrates the ingredients. At the same time, an authentic Japanese bowl is designed to make the process of serving and sharing easy.

Minoyaki craftsmanship and standout glazes

Hand-finished in the renowned Mino region, these bowls are crafted from Minoyaki porcelain, a material that has been revered for over 1,300 years. This high-quality ceramic is fired at high temperatures to create durable, long-lasting tableware. The bowls feature a range of unique glazes. Each one offers its own distinct texture and depth.

Advantages:

• Each bowl is handcrafted in Japan’s Mino region, known for its masterful ceramic techniques.
• These large bowls are perfect for serving a variety of dishes, including family-sized meals, pasta, salads, and soups.
• The intricate hand-applied glazes guarantee a standout look while adding an artisanal feel to your table.
• These bowls are microwave- and dishwasher-safe, offering modern convenience alongside traditional beauty.

Disadvantages:

• Due to the handcrafted nature of these bowls, slight differences in glaze and texture may be noticed.
• The durability of Minoyaki porcelain means these bowls can be slightly heavier than your standard tableware.
• They are sensitive to sudden changes in temperature, such as moving directly from the freezer to a hot oven, which could cause damage.
