Serving bowls are a highly versatile type of tableware, available in a rich variety of shapes, patterns, and functions. Used for salads, side dishes, and desserts, they are also deep enough to hold soups, noodles, donburi rice-bowl dishes, or nimono, simmered broth dishes. Japanese serving bowls are not just convenient kitchen necessities but also stylish additions to your dining table.
