Japanese Rice Bowls

Rice bowls are indispensable tableware for the Japanese dining table. Since they are used so often for Japanese food, many people are particular about them. It is important to choose one that is not only beautiful to look at, but is also the right size for your hand and easy to hold.

We recommend that you get a dedicated rice bowl for each member of your family. It's also a good idea to have a few available for different occasions, in varying colors and patterns that match the season and table setting. 

Which is the Best Japanese Rice Bowl for You?

Since Japanese rice bowls are the most used tableware in Japan, each kiln has its own unique design and style, while keeping the standard form that is easy to use. To help you find the perfect rice bowl for you and for your family, we have compiled a list of basic rice bowl shapes and styles.

"Wan" Standard Japanese Rice Bowls

The most comfortable shape for a rice bowl is one that is rounded and slightly deep. It is perfect for eating a soupy side dish and white rice together. It can also be used for serving small donburi dishes.

With its deeper silhouette, the rice bowl serves as a perfect canvas for colorful and intricate designs, allowing you to enjoy a variety of beautiful patterns while dining.

"Hira" Flat Shape Rice Bowls

The flat rice bowl is the type called "hirachawan" in Japan, which is open and shallow shaped.

This type of bowl is ideal for those with a smaller appetite, as it allows for a modest serving of rice while still presenting it in an attractive and visually appealing way.

"Meoto" Pair of Rice Bowls

In Japan, married couples are referred to as "meoto," and there is a tradition of using matching rice bowls known as "meoto-chawan." These matching bowls symbolize marital happiness and are shared at the dining table each day, making them a thoughtful wedding gift.

Of course, whether you're married or not, having matching rice bowls with someone you love adds a special and meaningful touch to your daily meals.

Wooden Lacquerware Rice Bowls

One of the key benefits of wooden lacquerware is its ability to prevent heat from transferring to your hands, making it ideal for serving hot dishes. Japanese lacquerware is not only functional but also beautifully crafted, and a wooden lacquerware rice bowl is especially recommended for those who enjoy eating hot rice.

Additionally, Japanese lacquerware has natural antibacterial properties, making it a great choice for those who prioritize hygiene.

Kawaii, Funny Japanese Rice Bowls

For those who frequently enjoy Japanese cuisine, rice bowls are one of the most commonly used pieces of tableware. If you have a fondness for cute, "kawaii" items, a kawaii-designed rice bowl can bring a sense of joy and comfort to your everyday meals.

A rice bowl with a kawaii and playful design is also sure to be a favorite among children.
