1. Blending Seasonal Delights with Diverse Tableware
This table setting artfully brings together autumn’s finest, in both tableware and cuisine. Each guest has their own carefully arranged setting on the Yamanaka lacquerware placemat , a traditional semi-circular design that transforms an everyday meal, offering a balanced arrangement of plates and bowls.
This time of year wouldn't be complete without the rich flavor of sanma, Pacific saury, a true fall delicacy. Once plentiful, it’s now a treasured catch. For sashimi, a Nabeshima ware celadon plate enhances the fresh, silvery sheen of the dish. Enjoy it grilled to perfection with that signature char, served on the natural texture of a Mino ware long plate .
A smooth junmai sake enjoyed in a Bizen ware sake set will pair well with the sanma as the mild acidity and subtle sweetness of junmai sake balance its savory taste.
The Tosen Kiln Wind God and Thunder God Kiyomizu Ware Plate stands out, with its bold design of the gods of nature. This larger plate is perfect for the tempura and beautifully fits large shrimp, a must-have in your tableware lineup.
2. Autumn Served with Lacquered Warmth
Japanese lacquerware, with its urushi coating, brings a beautiful glossy finish that stands out on any table. In this setting, the red urushi bowl holds a unique twist on ochazuke—featuring a grilled onigiri instead of the usual rice. The smooth, deep shine of the lacquer makes even this simple dish feel a bit more special.
Inside the two-tiered jubako bento box, an array of seasonal dishes, such as roasted ginkgo nuts, steamed pumpkin, and a shira-ae salad served in a hollowed persimmon, captures the essence of the season.
3. Mino Ware Plates in Nature's Elegance: Musashi Kiln
Created by Tsuji Musashi, this long plate takes its cues from nature, blending a rustic touch with a soft gray tone and delicate camellia flowers in white and red, accented with deep green leaves. The uneven edges give it that handmade look, adding to its organic charm. Thin and lightweight, it's easy to handle while still sturdy like stoneware.
Take your time to enjoy the season’s best bites, all before the hustle and bustle of year-end festivities. With these autumn touches, your table will be the spot to gather and savor!
