Collection: Serving Bowls

Discover the versatility of our Serving Bowls Collection. The serving bowl, known as Chubachi, is larger than the traditional Kobachi but more shallow than a Donburi bowl. It's the ideal choice for serving individual portions of Nimono (Japanese stewed dishes) and other similar dishes. Its balanced size and shape lend it to various uses, from serving savoury meals to acting as an adorable children's dish.

Serving bowls and Japanese cuisine

In Japanese dining, the serving bowls are used for stewed vegetables and meats simmered in a flavourful broth. The bowl's slightly wider and shallow design makes it ideal for showcasing the beautiful presentation of these hearty dishes. Unlike the deeper Donburi bowls used for rice or soup-based meals, the Chubachi allows easy food access while retaining the elegant shape essential to Japanese dining aesthetics.

Serving bowls as a tabletop statement

Serving bowls can also be used as a tabletop accent piece. Crafted from durable Minoyaki porcelain, each Chubachi bowl in our collection is made in Japan's famed Mino region. These bowls are finished with unique, hand-applied glazes. Each glaze reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and dedication that goes into every piece.
