Gathering Around Beauty and Balance

At the center of this table setting is a balance of precision and artistry. Our new Shokado bento box introduces clean lines and a strong presence with plenty of space to hold a variety of dishes enough for four by combining two differing sizes.

The geometrically perfect bento boxes give an organized look to the spread, while beautifully crafted side plates soften the scene with their delicate chrysanthemum petal shape and classic motifs. Just having these plates on the table feels ceremonial and elegant.

Lacquer bowls hold a light, clear clam soup. Every sip feels gentle, a moment of quiet amidst the variety of flavors on the table.

The donabe, with its deep earthiness, anchors the table as both a visual and sensory highlight. Seasonal oysters, plump and brimming with flavor, infuse the rice with a rich umami essence as they cook together. Lifting the lid from the donabe reveals a bed of glistening rice infused with umami and herbs of mitsuba.
