Pasta Bowl
Large bowls like these are the right size and shape for one-plate dishes like pasta, Japanese curry rice, stews, or somen and soba noodle dishes. Thanks to a wide, deep-plate shape, this type of bowl can easily hold a four-serving main dish with its braising liquid or sauce.
Mino Ware
Mino ware refers to pottery traditionally made in Japan’s eastern Gifu Prefecture, primarily in Tajimi, Toki, Mizunami, and Kani. This ancient method of producing elegant, durable ceramics has roots going back over 1300 years to Japan’s Kofun period in the 7th century. Typically found nested into the mountainsides, the unique kilns used to produce Mino ware are often referred to as anagama kilns, and the master artisans producing these stunning products continue to adhere to rigid standards to produce only the highest quality ceramics.
