Fan Shaped Dinner Plate

This fan-shaped sushi plate is made of Kiso Hinoki cypress by Miyabi Urushi. The 10.2in size is just right for placing sushi for one person. In addition to sushi, it can also be used for sashimi and tempura dishes.

The knot patterns of the wood appear on the surface, creating a bold accent. The height of the plate with its thick board and foot gives it a sense of luxury and makes it stand out on the dining table.

Since the design makes use of natural knots and annual rings, there may be slight unevenness in the design of individual pieces, but it has no practical problem when in use. 

The finish brings out the color and grain of the solid Hinoki wood. Hinoki is a material often used for counters and wooden plates in high-end sushi restaurants, and this plate will give your dining table an authentic atmosphere.
